better to be foolish and true than to be untrue and wise, because ultimately truth is wisdom and untruth is stupidity. Go with truth; even if it is foolish in the beginning you will find that by and by it turns into great wisdom.

So start behaving like a twelve-year-old child. For a few days forget your age... and you will become younger. It will be greatly refreshing for your body energy, it will be a rejuvenation. Because we are as old as we think we are. If you can really trust that you are twelve, you are twelve, and the body will start behaving like a twelve-year-old's.

There will be problems; they have to be faced. No need to hide, no need to escape from them. Be natural, spontaneous and allow all kinds of dangers. I am here to protect you, mm? Soon you will bridge the gap of that twenty years.

Once that gap is bridged, you will be back into this body, thirty-two years old, with a thirty-two-year old consciousness also. Then there will be a synchronicity between you and your body. That's why you are feeling separate; they are falling apart, they are not together. The bridge is broken, that's why you are feeling disconnected. They are good indications, tremendously good indications; the therapy has succeeded.

You will be connected again and really connected this time. The other connection that was there was not a real connection; it was just so-so. It was a kind of identity rather than a connection. You were not rooted in it. How can you be rooted in it? When you are twelve years old, how can you be rooted in a thirty-year-old body? That twenty-year gap is there. You can deceive, you can pretend, you can believe, but the gap is there.

Now that gap can be bridged: the opportunity has opened up -- now the wound can heal. So don't hide that wound again. Let it be opened, allow it to be in the sun and the air, and let it heal. The connection will come but you are not to bring it. You have to simply wait.

[Osho suggests the tantra and leela groups. She says she is afraid of tantra because it feels too grown-up!]

... That's my whole approach: whenever I see that somebody is frightened of something, I push.
