What is the view of Hitler?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Hitler was a dead man, a primitive force that sought to suffocate the living present under the weight of a mythic past; true life demands we shatter the chains of history to embrace the vibrant future."
According to Osho, Hitler was an utterly "dead" man—primitive, anti-life, and non-contemporary—who seduced a weary West by offering the comfort of obedience: “Don’t think; we’ll think for you.” In preserving a mythic Aryan past, he sought to destroy the living present (e.g., Jews). Osho contrasts himself: destroy the dead past for the new, living future.
Hitler, to Osho, was like a lifeless boss telling tired people to stop thinking and follow an old story, even if it hurt the living; real life means staying awake, thinking, and choosing the new.
