What is the difference between a Christian, a communist, and a commune member?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"A commune member transcends belief and disbelief, awakening to the present moment through intelligence and direct experience, living in freedom, love, and responsibility."
According to Osho, a Christian depends on faith in Jesus—belief without inner transformation; a communist also lives by belief, an anti-religious creed that replaces God with ideology; a commune member is a seeker, using intelligence, doubt, meditation and direct experience. He neither believes nor disbelieves; he knows by awakening awareness, lives here-now, and shares in freedom, love, and responsibility.
A Christian says “just believe,” a communist says “believe another creed,” but a commune member says “don’t believe—look, experience, and know for yourself.”
