What is agnosticism?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Agnosticism is the ultimate freedom from belief, where one transcends the duality of yes and no, encountering reality directly in choiceless awareness."
According to Osho, agnosticism means refusing both yes and no, transcending the mind’s duality of theism and atheism. It is choiceless awareness—the pinnacle of religion—where one remains impartial, beyond arguments and beliefs. By not adopting affirmation or denial, one rises above the coin’s two sides and encounters reality directly, free of the mind’s nets.
It’s like not saying yes or no about God—just staying open and quietly aware to see what’s truly real.
