According to Osho, your Christmas sadness comes not from Christ but from centuries of Christian conditioning that sanctified gloom, guilt, and self-denial. Neurotic, masochistic minds recast Jesus as perpetually crucified, editing out his laughter, feasting, and friendship. Reclaim the living Christ by celebrating ordinary life—eat, drink, love—and let your own direct experience dissolve inherited melancholy.
You feel sad because you learned a gloomy version of Jesus; drop that conditioning and enjoy life’s simple joys like he did.
