Core Insight:
According to Osho, inhibitions are the accumulated repressions of natural energies—anger, lust, violence—implanted by civilization that force you to hold back and clog your being. They manifest as pent-up drives that, if not purged, distort life and relationships. Only meditation-based catharsis—shouting, crying, dancing, jumping—allows these energies to dissolve into emptiness, restoring lightness and enabling the inner journey without harming others.
