Roam about until exhausted and then, dropping to the ground, in this dropping be whole.
- Run, jump, dance — not until the MIND says you are tired (that is layer-one exhaustion, mere routine energy), but until the body itself feels that one more step means falling. Ignore the mind’s tired reports completely and continue.
- Three energy layers: (1) the everyday layer — depletes quickly, leaves the ordinary feeling of tiredness; (2) the emergency layer — a vast reserve that unlocks under genuine duress; (3) the cosmic/infinite layer — the source itself. This technique must exhaust through layer 2 to touch layer 3.
- How to distinguish the layers: after the first ‘tired’ wave, continuing soon releases a fresh surge of energy (layer 2 has opened). When layer 2 is also spent, a specific fear arises — ‘I am going to die, I cannot come back from this.’ That is the precise threshold; a little courage here penetrates layer 3.
- A group or camp setting massively aids breakthrough: seeing hundreds of others continue past ‘tired’ gives the impetus to push through layer 1. Alone on a hill you quit at the first signal. This is why three active sessions a day in a camp leave participants not exhausted but renewed.
- DROP WHOLLY: when the verge of collapse arrives, do not plan or arrange the fall. Do not lower yourself deliberately — let the dropping happen as one event. If you ‘drop the body,’ there are two: the dropper and the dropped, and you are still divided. The technique requires you to drop AS a whole, as if the whole body is one thing and it has simply fallen dead.
- In this total, unmanaged dropping, the mind’s divisions disappear and the undivided being — the unitary center — appears for the first time. This is the same center the Stop and Quit techniques reach by sudden interruption; this one reaches it by exhaustion (Osho says all three are ‘the same, only the dimensions differ’).
