According to Osho, fear is the hidden axis of the unconscious life; we mask it with money, power, respectability, even God. To dissolve it—and so allow deep connection—stop seeking substitutes and face the only certainty: death. Accept impermanence totally, watch fear consciously, and let go. In that radical acceptance, fear subsides and love and vulnerability become natural.
Look at your fear instead of hiding behind protections, accept that everything (even life) ends, and openness becomes easier.
