"Osho is an enlightened master who is working with all possibilities to help humanity overcome a difficult phase in developing consciousness." The Dalai LamaAbout five years ago, I was introduced to the works of a man, who I consider to be one of the greatest teachers to me in my life.
I had the most mystical experience of meeting someone, who introduced me to his work. This is a long story that I won't get into.
The point is, this man helped me to completely change and grow in many aspects of my life and self. I don't know where I would be, without many of the things I have learned from him. His name is Osho. Some of you may know of him. I believe many of you could benefit from some of his teachings. So I am posting some links and info about him if you are interested.

There are many "Osho websites", but this is one of my favoites. http://www.otoons.com/osho.html
The first book I got by him is called the Book of Secrets. He has many others and I think anyone would benefit greatly by his works. Some of the titles are;
Love, Freedom and Aloneness (one of my favorites)
Sex Matters
Intuition
Awareness
Maturity
Intimacy
From Sex to Superconsciousness
Buddhism
Creativity
