What happens when fear and anger arise during the practice of awakening and awareness?

"True awakening does not suppress fear or anger, nor does it project them onto others; it allows for a conscious release, transforming energy into emptiness."
According to Osho, when fear or anger arise, genuine awakening neither suppresses them nor dumps them on others; it allows a conscious, total release so the energy dissolves into emptiness. If “awareness” makes the emotion linger for days, that’s repression, which spreads and burdens the mind. Practice catharsis: in private, express it fully (e.g., into a pillow) while remaining continuously aware; the physiological charge discharges without harming anyone, clearing space for awareness.
Don’t push fear or anger down or throw them at someone—safely act them out completely with full awareness (even into a pillow) so they leave your system.
