What is the function of the commune in relation to our aloneness?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The commune is a space where two alonenesses can meet, not to fill gaps, but to celebrate the fluid dance of being together while remaining utterly free."
According to Osho, the commune's function is to wake you to your absolute aloneness by dissolving family and social fictions of belonging. It offers a free space to be together without bondages - relating, not relationships - so two alonenesses can meet without trying to fill each other's gaps. You remain yourself, the other remains other; meeting is a fluid, living flux. The commune is not another club but a context for this understanding.
It helps you see you’re truly alone inside and gives you a safe place to meet others without clinging or making cages.
Why this matters practically
- Builds inner freedom and self-reliance beyond roles and groups.
- Turns relationships into present-moment relating, reducing jealousy, demand, and control.
- Helps you accept change and let go gracefully when meetings end.
