According to Osho, therapy groups are not to deliver you to your natural self, which no method can produce. Their purpose is to mirror your conditioned, self-created patterns—your ‘prison’—so you recognize your own signature on your wounds. In the very seeing, support for the unnatural drops, the grip loosens, and the natural—already there—emerges indirectly without effort.
Groups don’t give you your true self; they help you notice the fake stuff you maintain so it falls away on its own.
