Rajneesh movement
May. 24th, 2023 06:55 amLast night, I watched the first episode of Wild Wild Country, a Netflix documentary on Rajneesh (Osho). His commandments (as expected) look good on paper and very progressive/positive (except maybe for 3, 5 and 10, the first and last one being emphasized by him):
Sadly, things went sideways rather quick at the Oregon commune, but the movement lives on after his death.
1 Never obey anyone's command unless it is coming from within you also. 2 There is no God other than life itself. 3 Truth is within you, do not search for it elsewhere. 4 Love is prayer. 5 To become a nothingness is the door to truth. Nothingness itself is the means, the goal and attainment. 6 Life is now and here. 7 Live wakefully. 8 Do not swim – float. 9 Die each moment so that you can be new each moment. 10 Do not search. That which is, is. Stop and see.
