Why do I only express negative emotions during catharsis and not love or bliss?

"To reach the depths of love and bliss, you must first clear the stones and mud of accumulated negativity; only through this cleansing can the true treasures of your being emerge."
According to Osho, your catharsis releases ‘stones and mud’ first—anger, jealousy, anguish—because they are the outer layers accumulated from past actions. Love and bliss are deeper waters reached only after thorough cleansing. Don’t be disheartened; keep digging with steady effort and watchfulness, and avoid reaccumulating anger in daily life. When anger is uprooted, compassion emerges; when violence ends, nonviolence and bliss appear.
Like digging a well, you first pull out dirt (anger) before you reach water (love); keep cleaning and don’t throw new dirt back in.
Why this matters practically
- Normalizes early negativity as progress, reducing discouragement.
- Encourages consistent practice and daily watchfulness to avoid rebuilding anger.
- Shows that clearing anger/violence naturally uncovers compassion, nonviolence, and bliss.
