Core Insight:
According to Osho, hypnosis is a simple, innocent relaxation that, when approached rightly, brings softness, calm, and silence. But if you enter it on top of social conditioning, you drop into the unconscious where repressed pains surface like 'serpents and dragons,' producing terrifying but imaginary states. First de-hypnotize—uncondition and cleanse—then hypnosis becomes a fresh, healing entry into deeper layers rather than a nightmare.
