According to Osho, when you finally face the fear that made you numb and formal, the crust of conditioning cracks: sensitivity revives, spontaneity replaces diplomacy, and love—your natural state—begins to flow again. Confronting fear undoes the survival tricks learned in childhood, reopening openness, truthfulness, and aliveness that were suppressed to fit others’ expectations.
Face your fear and the numb shell falls off, so you feel, love, and act naturally again.
