According to Osho, fear is not inherent; it is conditioning—especially religious programming that declares you ‘born in sin,’ sanctifies obedience, and burdens you with guilt. Such narratives make you distrust your own intelligence, avoid knowledge and vitality, and lose self-respect. Seeing fear as imposed programming allows you to drop it, reclaim dignity, and live from awareness rather than borrowed commandments.
Fear comes from taught ideas that you’re bad and must obey; noticing it’s just training lets you feel worthy and trust yourself.
