Core Insight:
According to Osho, personality is a socially manufactured mask—others’ opinions, conditioning, education—creating a false identity, while individuality is your inborn, authentic essence present before conditioning, as in small children. To discover individuality you must set aside personality’s accumulated ‘rubbish,’ become like a child—‘born again’—and meet life and truth directly, without the intervening interpretations of status, roles, or borrowed knowledge.
