Excellent question, it is a long process to start understanding that you are not your mind. And learning to live in that mode. Lookup talks by Osho if you want to get started.

There are many paths to these insights, and I personally used the "Waking Up" app by Sam Harris. I gravitated to this because I was pretty allergic to anything that looked too spiritual or mystical (due to my own pretty negative religious history).

I haven't personally listened to Osho, but if other readers find that the content doesn't resonate, there may be a different packaging that does. I personally needed something strictly secular, and I don't know if that's a factor with his content.

His content 100% resonates with me, because he talks about the truth. Very few people do. Most people talk about meditation or mindfulness and other prescriptions but not truth. Spirituality, mystical things , religion are all meaningless words.
I should clarify that I didn’t mean to imply that he does not resonate with you personally, and meant to direct that at future readers curious about the subject but skeptical about a particular style of delivery.

And I agree, meditation and mindfulness are not some ultimate prescription, but a stepping stone.
