"To embrace the heights of life, one must also confront the depths of death; only in this totality can truth and aliveness truly blossom."
According to Osho, your fear of the Tantra and Encounter groups springs from humanity’s two deepest taboos—sex (life) and death. Tantra takes you to the peak of life-energy; in that very height, death’s abyss becomes vividly apparent, provoking trembling. To escape this contrast, society taught repression. These groups dismantle that conditioning, so fear arises—but truth and aliveness flower only by living sex and death in totality.
You’re scared because these groups make you face sex and death—the two big things you were taught to avoid—but meeting them makes you more real and alive.
