Is there a possibility of hypnosis and delusion in meditation, and what does it mean if nothing is happening during the process?

According to Osho, meditation may employ hypnotic-like methods at the start, but its essence is witnessing—alert awareness. Hypnosis induces sleep and suggestibility; meditation says, “Be awake,” so no outer influence can dominate. Delusion arises only without witnessing. If nothing seems to happen, it’s usually egoic fear, half-hearted resolve, and defensive doubt blocking the process—not lack of ability; courageous, intelligent openness unlocks it.
