Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Without consciousness, anxiety flattens into boredom, where even pleasure loses its taste, and restlessness remains untransformed. Only through awareness can we liberate this anxious energy, turning it from craving into a path of freedom."
According to Osho, when there is no consciousness, anxiety doesn’t disappear; it flattens into boredom—the dull ache of desire fulfilled without awareness. In such unconsciousness, even pleasure becomes tasteless, and restlessness persists. Only at the human crossroads, by bringing awareness to this anxious energy, can it be transformed toward liberation rather than recycled into further craving or godly boredom.
