According to Osho, you don’t need to recognize it intellectually. When the primal scream happens, recognition is instantaneous, like knowing a headache is gone. You feel suddenly light, unburdened, as if a heavy load has dropped; the ego’s need for problems loosens. The accumulated hurts, lies, and tensions pour out, leaving clarity and a fresh sense of being.
You won’t have to figure it out—when it happens you’ll instantly feel lighter and free, like when pain suddenly stops.
