A fascinating journey into many mysterious realms of our existence
Impression of Dimensions Beyond the Known
A fascinating journey into many mysterious realms of our existence, including what happens to a person after death, reincarnation, the esoteric roots of religious experience, and the dimension of time. There is also an account of the Tibetan practice of Bardo. The beauty of this book is that it explains metaphysical concepts in a simple and comprehensive way, at the same time presenting some challenging new perspectives on the universe and what makes it tick.
“If a person walks around and around in the room, he may walk for miles and he will not come out of the room. But a person can walk directly toward the door also – not in a circle, but in a straight line. If while walking he walks in a circle, he will merely walk around the room. If he walks in a straight line toward the door, he can walk out through the door also. But in both of these cases he will be walking only in the room.”
“If I tell a person who has taken many rounds in the room that he can take just ten steps and he will be out of the room, he will immediately ask me whether I have gone mad. He will say, ‘You are talking of taking only ten steps, but I have been walking for miles and I have not yet come out of the room.’ He is not saying anything false, but he has simply been going around and around.”
Het boek Dimensions Beyond the Known is een echte Osho klassieker op esoterisch gebied. Je kunt dit boek ervaren als een boeiende reis in de verschillende gebieden van ons leven. En daar horen 
onder andere bij: wat er met iemand na zijn dood gebeurt, wedergeboorte, de esoterische wortels van de religieuze ervaring en de dimensie tijd.
Er staat een verslag in van de toepassing van Bardo in Tibet.

“It is interesting to note that in this world everything is going around and around. Our movement is circular. All movement is circular. Unless you make an effort, things will move circularly. To walk straight requires considerable effort.
“In this world, all movement is circular. Whether it is an atom or a room or the life of a man or a thought, everything moves around and around in this world. Walking straight requires an effort; walking straight is itself a great achievement.” Osho
