[A sannyasin returning to the West says: Lately I've got really sudden fits of paranoia just for a few
seconds. Just now I did -- my heart was beating so hard; I thought my mind was going to go crazy.]

Enjoy it! Don't make a problem out of it. You have a good mind; enjoy it! These are the somersaults the
mind sometimes tries. Beautiful gymnastics; nothing to be worried about. Don't call it names -- paranoia,
schizophrenia, etcetera; don't call names. Once you give names, you create trouble. Once you call it
paranoia you have to go and visit a psychiatrist and then you are in trouble -- just because you called it a
name! People have enjoyed it for centuries and nobody has been troubled by it. This is just very recent --
that people are troubled by things.

One should learn sometimes to enjoy even mad moments. They come and they bring great insights.
They are not all pathological. In fact, pathology is a creation of the psychiatrists and the psychoanalysts. If
they accept people as they are and if they accept that everything is beautiful, then their whole profession is
gone. Psychoanalysis is a Jewish invention! (laughter) It is the greatest business around! (much laughter)
Beware of the Jews! Wherever they go they make a beautiful business out of things.

Don't label, mm? When it happens, just watch. And enjoy that moment too, that throbbing of the heart and the mind going crazy. Enjoy that moment too. Why not? Why be against it? When you call it paranoia
you are already against it. You have created an enmity, you have condemned it. Don't condemn it. It is just
the mind playing a trick on you; enjoy it! And if you enjoy it, it will play tricks less and less, because once it
sees that you are enjoying it the whole point is lost; it disappears.

Osho.

The Open Door
Chapter #11

From a very reliable source in New Delhi, I have just received information that Eva Renzi was here as a
German government spy. Now, this is what Indian spies have discovered! You see the paranoia? You ask
me, "Why do politicians go on misunderstanding you?" To understand me, a little intelligence is also
needed.
A very smug and complacent politician disclosed airily to a New Delhi reporter that he had attended
both Oxford and Cambridge.
"Why did you leave Oxford?" asked the reporter.
"Pneumonia, dear boy," explained the politician.
"Because you caught it?" persisted the reporter.
"No," admitted the politician. "Because I could not spell it."
A little intelligence is certainly needed.The politician was campaigning to be elected to parliament. He was trying to make conversation with an
old farmer.
He said, "Say, mister, your corn looks kind of yellow."
Farmer, "Yep, that is the kind we planted."
The politician, "Looks as though you will only have half a crop. "
Farmer, "Don't expect any more. The landlord gets the other half."
The politician, "Have you been living here all your life?"
Farmer, "Nope, just part of it up to now."
The politician, "Say, there is not much difference between you and a fool, is there?"
Farmer, "Nope, just the fence."

Osho.
The Secret
Chapter #20

Paranoia is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory, or beliefs of conspiracy concerning a perceived threat towards oneself (e.g. “Everyone is out to get me”). Paranoia is distinct from phobias, which also involve irrational fear, but usually no blame. Making false accusations and the general distrust of others also frequently accompany paranoia. For example, an incident most people would view as an accident or coincidence, a paranoid person might believe was intentional.
