"Repressing your existential experiences fractures your being, creating a chaos of hypocrisy and anger; only through non-repressive spontaneity can you reclaim your original childlike trust and naturalness."
According to Osho, when you repress your existential experiences you fracture your being. Repression breeds complexity, hypocrisy, and chronic inner chaos: you say one thing, do another, think a third. What’s pushed down returns as pervasive anger, compulsions, and even social violence, never innocence. Only non-repressive spontaneity and immediate insight dissolve this split, allowing your original childlike trust and naturalness to surface again.
If you push down your real feelings and truths, you get twisted inside and they burst out worse; being open and natural makes you peaceful and real.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces chronic anger, anxiety, and compulsions by facing feelings directly.
- Restores authenticity, trust, and childlike joy in relationships.
- Prevents harmful projections and aggression by integrating denied energy consciously.
