What happens when I laugh at authority figures like the Pope?

Total laughter is a liberation from the chains of authority, dissolving anger and conditioning, allowing you to witness the present without the burden of the past.

— Osho
According to Osho, laughing at authority is natural after centuries of priestly and political domination, but let your laughter be total, not half-repressed. Total laughter dissolves anger and conditioning, relaxes the whole being, and can open a meditative state where the ego and the 'doer' disappear, leaving pure witnessing in the present. Don't stay entangled with past religions; choose your own authentic religiousness.

If you laugh fully instead of holding back, your joke about the Pope melts anger and becomes peace and freedom.
