Why does Jesus feel like a stranger to me despite my Catholic upbringing?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Jesus feels like a stranger because he exists in a dimension of truth that our beliefs and complacency cannot reach; only through meditation and inner silence can we strip away the layers that keep us from meeting him."
According to Osho, Jesus feels like a stranger because he actually is one: he lives in another dimension—God—while we live in the world. Catechism gives second‑hand words that breed complacency and block direct knowing. Only meditation, silence, and dropping beliefs make you inwardly naked enough to meet him. Without awakened intelligence and awareness, teachings become pillows for sleep, and Jesus remains outside.
He seems strange because you learned about him instead of meeting him; become quiet inside and drop borrowed beliefs to truly know him.
Why this matters practically
- Replace second-hand beliefs with direct experience through daily meditation and silence.
- Approach teachings with fresh, unconditioned eyes; question inherited doctrines.
- Cultivate awareness and sensitivity in ordinary acts so the "other dimension" becomes tangible.
