Five Dimensions


The advice of Osho was to create five dimensions in education.


The first dimension is the informative dimension.

languages, mathematic, geography, environmental studies etc.
Here, teachers are important.



The second dimension is the inquiry of scientific subjects.

Very important according to Osho, because science deals with half of reality, the outside reality. But here the teachers are only guides. They show how to find the latest books on a subject, how to use the computer. They make the pupils aware of the current knowledge, the latest information. The kids themselves have to do the real inquiry.

So far this educational system fits in with the regular school system. The three other dimensions are new.



The third dimension is ‘the art of living’.

According to Osho this is missing in the present-day education. Osho: ‘People have taken it for granted that they know what love is. They don’t - and by the time they do, it is too late. Every child should be helped to transform his anger, hatred, jealousy etc. into love.An important part of the third dimension should also be a sense of humor. Our so-called education makes people sad and serious - and a man who forgets the language of laughter has forgotten much of life...
A reverence for life should be the foundation of the third dimension, because life is God and there is no other God than life itself.‘



The fourth dimension is art and creativity.

painting, music, craftsmanship, and pottery, masonry - in fact anything that is creative.



The fifth dimension.

Osho: ‘In this fifth dimension will be all the meditations,
so that you can become aware of an internal life inside you.’
