"Fear of someone is the first step towards true relationship; it signals the death of the borrowed self and the birth of authentic consciousness. Embrace that fear, for it is the doorway to your rebirth."
According to Osho, fear of him is a good sign - the dawn of real relationship - because he threatens the borrowed self. Your head signals 'escape' to protect knowledge, morality, and crowd-identity, but that very fear marks the opportunity for rebirth. Move closer despite it; let the old die so consciousness, not conscience, can arise: an authentic, rebellious, living religion.
You feel scared because the pretend self made from others’ rules thinks it will be taken away; go closer so your real self can be born.
Why this matters practically
- Reframes fear as a signal of ego-protection, not real danger.
- Encourages choosing inner consciousness over crowd conditioning.
- Guides you to move through fear toward genuine transformation.
