Ask Osho!

Why is the new so scary despite feeling thankful and happy?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"The new is scary because the mind clings to memory and control; only through meditation and the courage of an explorer can we transform fear into joy and aliveness."

We get scared of new things because our thinking mind loses its usual answers, but if we stay aware and curious, the new becomes exciting instead of threatening.
Why this matters practically
- Notice fear as a cue to shift from memory to awareness (pause, breathe, watch).
- Practice small experiments and meditation to welcome the unknown.
- Choose exploration over control to grow intelligence, creativity, and freedom.
