Is the experience of feeling and watching during catharsis a sign of being split and not whole?

outcome
"Wholeness is not about losing yourself in the experience or detaching completely; it is about embracing both the depths of feeling and the heights of awareness in totality."
According to Osho, feeling and watching during catharsis aren’t signs of pathology but of your type. Two valid doors: total involvement (no witness) or total awareness (only witness). Wholeness means totality, not mixing. If you can’t lose control, drop that ideal and choose alert witnessing; both routes reach the same peak when practiced totally.
Either be fully the dancer or just the watcher—don’t half-do both; pick what fits you and do it totally.
Why this matters practically
- Stops self-judgment about ‘splitting’ during therapy or meditation.
- Helps you choose the path—devotion or awareness—that matches your nature.
- Deepens practice by prioritizing totality over mixed efforts.
