Is the fear people have about science due to a lack of experience with it?

“

Fear is not of the unknown itself, but of our resistance to enter it; only by embracing the unknown can we awaken to the ultimate mysteries of life.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, fear of science, or anything, is simply fear of the unknown, not of the thing itself. He urges entering exactly where fear arises, because the unknown contains life's mystery and serves as the bridge from the known to the unknowable. By repeatedly stepping into the unknown, one awakens to a new dimension: the unknowable, the ultimate experience.
We fear what we don’t know; gently step into it, and it becomes a doorway to deeper understanding.
Why this matters practically
- Turn anxiety about new tech or science into curiosity by taking small, direct steps.
- Use fear as a compass: approach the edge where growth happens.
- Build resilience and openness by practicing entry into the unfamiliar.
