Fresch, I am considering offering you my services in writing a constitution for the Osho movement. Of course it is a little like the Charter08 that outlines the hope of freedom for the people of China. If you wrote or support Charter08, you could well end up in the least spending the rest of your life in jail (unless of course you are already there). Of course my current employer is only interested in putting religious criminals in jail, and hence I will need some financial sustenance for my basic needs. The other condition is that I require the services of some other people with suitable skill and inclination. Of course the process would require transparency, diverse input from the Osho sannyas community, and submission to this community.
Of course a constitution sounds like a big thing but is not. It simply makes clear the power dynamics for any collective of people. The power struggles within the Inner-Circle and at the Resort, and elsewhere, come about because the power structure was informal and ill-defined. Even if Osho made it clear to the Inner-Circle how it was to operate, it is also clear that this was not followed. People who are obsessed with power are not interested in a constitution because it defines and therefore limits their endless lust.
