How can I see my fear more clearly?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Embrace your fear with compassionate awareness, for in the intimacy of acceptance, it transforms from a shadow into a doorway of growth."
According to Osho, you see fear clearly only when you stop trying to get rid of it. Repression drives fear into the unconscious where it disguises itself as virtue, pride, or anger. Instead, allow and befriend the feeling—sit with it, hold it in compassionate awareness, without condemnation. Let things be as they are. In that relaxed intimacy, fear reveals its roots and becomes a doorway to depth, integration, and growth.
Stop fighting fear; sit with it like a friend so it can show you what it really is.
