Have you ever been told that you just have to "set up positively" - and all your problems will disappear? Or, in order to achieve your life goals, it is just enough to "visualize" them and add a "positive intent" pinch?

This philosophy has been popular for several decades. In general, thanks to books like "How to win friends and influence others" and "Think and get rich". But does it really help to live a more conscious and fulfilling life? Hardly.

Spiritual guru Osho believes this is in fact one of the "dumbest philosophies." That is why "positive thinking" will not help you.
When the guru was asked what he thinks about the "positive thinking" movement, Osho says that it brings more harm than good. Why? Because it means that we deny reality and act unfairly with ourselves:
The philosophy of positive thinking is insincere. She teaches us to be dishonest with ourselves. This means seeing some things and denying other things. This means lying to yourself and the others.

But why does this philosophy attract mediocre minds? Positive thinking: I do not see the negative side, I do not see the dark side. But why do you think that if you do not notice the negativism, it will disappear? You just deceive yourself. You cant change reality. The night will nevertheless occur. You may think that the day lasts for 24 hours, but because of one of your thoughts. The sun will not shine at the place where you live, 24 hours a day.

Negative is also part of life as well as positive. They are mutually balancing.

Positive thinking is neurotic and makes people dependent No. I do not believe in the philosophy of positive thinking. It is dangerous half-truth.
Forcing yourself to think positively, simply deny the reality of life, and ultimately it will hurt you cruelly.
Are you asking me if I'm against positive philosophy? Yes, I am against, I am also against negative philosophy.
I am against both, as these two philosophies recognize only half the fact, and both try to ignore the other half.

And remember: Semi-truth is more dangerous than lie, because sooner or later every lie will be revealed.
