I would like to present my book “Behind & Beyond Illusions” –
Subtitle: “A Journey Through Awakening and Transformation”.
Synopsis:
“Behind & Beyond Illusions” is a profound exploration of the author’s transformative journey through the complexities of family conditioning, existential crises, and the quest for spiritual truth. Beginning with an examination of an authoritarian family structure, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the 1968 Student Revolution, where the desire to change the world ignites a path toward radical choices and self-discovery.
As the author navigates an existential crisis, psychosis becomes an unlikely escape route, leading to transformative travels in South America and an encounter with the teachings of Bhagwan (Osho). The narrative captures the essence of group therapy and the unexpected discoveries that catalyze personal growth, culminating in a deeper understanding of the self.
The journey continues through the author’s experiences as a disciple of Bhagwan, detailing life in the communes of India and Oregon, the challenges of working within a spiritual community, and the eventual dissolution of those ideals. The author reflects on travels around the world, from the serene landscapes of the Andaman Islands to the spiritual heart of Rishikesh, each experience contributing to a richer understanding of existence.
The book confronts the harsh realities of death, including the loss of loved ones and the author’s master, leading to a critical examination of the illusions that once defined his spiritual path. As revelations about the darker aspects of Osho’s legacy emerge, the narrative challenges the constructs of cults and religions, revealing the necessary steps in the quest for enlightenment.
In “Beyond Illusions,” readers are invited to join a candid exploration of truth, healing, and the ultimate teachings that arise from the collapse of cherished beliefs. This journey serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of facing one’s deepest fears and illusions.
I will be happy to answer questions about it.

Love

Santosh
