CHAPTER 25. JESUS – THE ONLY SAVIOR WHO NEARLY SAVED HIMSELF
His brain could be fixed into your skull, but it will not be you who comes back to consciousness,
he will come back: he will use your body. He will speak his language: if he was French, he will
speak French, if he was Russian, he will speak Russian. He will not take any notice of who you are,
whether you have been somebody who had not even heard a single word of Russian.
That’s a problem. First, to have banks is a problem because the brain cells die so quickly. But
perhaps we can find some way that when a person is dying, before he dies the brain is taken out
and put into an oxygen tank where enough oxygen is available, so the brain can go on functioning.
He will be dreaming there in the oxygen tank – making love to a woman, or if he is a pervert then
doing something else. Still, certainly he will be dreaming and doing his thing – what he was doing
inside his original body.
Now he will be doing it in the oxygen tank – perhaps far better because more oxygen and more pure
oxygen will be available. And he will not be able to know that he has been taken out, because one
strange thing about your skull is that inside the skull there is no sensitivity.
So if you take the brain out, the brain will not feel as if it has been taken out, removed from its original
place, placed into something else. It could simply live on its own. It could function on its own. And
whenever it is put back again into a body, the body will start following the orders of this brain.
Buddha goes upwards too. He says this brain... and there are certain facts about the mind and
the brain to be known, which scientists have discovered. For example, that half of the brain is nonfunctioning.
Only fifty percent of your brain is functioning, and the other fifty percent of the brain,
towards the back, is absolutely non-functioning.
Now, nature never creates anything for nonfunctioning. It only creates things to function, and such a
valuable thing as the brain.... If half the brain is non-functioning it simply means that we don’t know
its uses yet. We have not discovered for what it is meant to be used.
That gives me a clue. The half of the brain that is functioning is being discovered by our
psychologists, and the half of the brain that is not functioning starts functioning with meditation. And
slowly, slowly you start becoming aware of something higher than you, beyond you, and beyond,
and beyond. The cosmic conscious mind is your ultimate truth.
Unless you know it you are not saved, because then you will be moving in the labyrinth of the
unconscious, the collective unconscious, the cosmic unconscious; you will be moving in this labyrinth
of darkness which creates all your misery.
Now, what does Jesus know about it? Just by his telling people, ”Believe in me,” I don’t think that
the other half of their brain will start functioning. These Bible-packing people – do you think that
their other half is functioning? Most probably their whole mind has stopped functioning; they are in
a coma.
Faith is a kind of coma.
You stop reasoning, you stop doubting.
You stop questioning.
