Osho: "Christianity is Anti-Christ" Ouch. That´s A Little Polarized for a Higher Consciousness

In response to Osho´s talk beginning: "CHRISTIANITY IS ANTI-CHRIST Osho on Jesus Christ and Christianity I WILL SPEAK ON CHRIST, but not on Christianity. Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. In fact, Christianity is anti-Christ — just as Buddhism is anti-Buddha, and Jainism is anti-Mahavir. Christ has something in him which cannot be organized: the very nature of it is rebellion and a rebellion cannot be organized. The moment you organize it, you kill it. Then, only the dead corpse remains. You can worship it, but you cannot be transformed by it. You can carry the load for centuries and centuries, but it will only burden you,. It will not liberate you. That’s why from the beginning, let it be absolutely clear: I am all for Christ, but not even a small part of me is for Christianity. If you want Christ, you have to go beyond Christianity. ..... With Jesus, a chaos entered into human consciousness. Now the organization is not to be done on the outside, in the society; the order has to be brought into the innermost core of your being. Christ has brought a chaos. Now, out of that chaos, you have to be born totally new, an order coming from the innermost being. Not a new Church but a new man. Not a new society ...but a new human consciousness. That is the message." Mark Rego Monteiro Hmm. Are churches always "anti-Christ"? It´s more like degrees of integrity and hypocrisy, not merely oppositional polarization. It is about a new human consciousness, and that involves spiritual practice and modernization, and has the crucial resource of philosophical scholarship in Jesus´ own legacy. The principles of University-based, UN human rights culture now provide the structured pluralism and principles of logical coherence and real world correspondence that check anybody´s assertions. Even beloved gurus. Stereotyping creates its own problems of perception. Gandhi also fell into that trap a bit. Human beings in Jesus´ legacy have been able to develop and unleash the incredible power of historical Christian spiritual practice that developed monastic schools into University-based Christianized philosophical scholarship with empiricism. Their human inclinations, bio-psychosocial in nature, in people as merchants, soldiers, and monarch-aristocrat-politicians with their universal human role priorities, have appropriated those powerful tools of thought into universal human activities that involve violence and enslavement in ALL human cultures, worst of all post-tribal settlements. Christianity and WWII showed humanity what extremely high developments of destructive power even worse than colonialism´s own demonstrations can do. Not because Christians are worse than the rest of humanity, but because ALL of humanity is like that, and the Christians have developed the most powerful systems of destruction and, incidentally, CAN´T be ignored. It also requires finding the solution to the problem of the misuse of that power by merchants, soldiers, and politicians, and that resides in the good side of University-based culture and the meaning of Jesus Christ´s loving integrity itself. That´s what Social Gospel FD Roosevelt´s vision of and legacy in UN human rights and sustainability means for the world. It was proposed by his vision and legacy after the devastating consequences of WWII, and negotiated with the world at the moment when everyone had the heights of destructive power of humankind in their faces and the urgent imperative to take it or leave it. And they all took it at the key step of basic membership participation. All this stereotyping is the result of insufficient valuing of the truth, and instead indulging in popular scapegoating. Indeed, the value of the greats, led by Buddha and Jesus, is on display. I value Gandhi as the major prophetic figure of modern times, because his major message reflects valuing Jesus´ loving integrity in interfaith spiritual practice, which attains the rich meaning of University-based, UN human rights-sustainability structured pluralism. Christian churches aren´t the enemy, per se. Their literalist fundamentalist examples of low-end spectrum of integrity, high-end spectrum of hypocrisy are a big problem to note, while their examples of high-end spectrum integrity and low-end hypocrisy are a good thing to be aware of, with Barack H. Obama having been a United Church of Christ member, Al Gore having left the conservative SBC, and the Quaker Friends having lead and sparked the pioneering abolition modern social movement campaign, and more, among others. Gurus may help people take first steps to accept alternatives, but University-based philosophical scholarship, multidisciplinary like biological anthropology, is how "higher consciousness" can be grounded like Gandhi with his law degree, Jack Kornfield with his Buddhist monastic training and psychology degree, or Simone Weil with her philosophy degree.
