Core Insight:
According to Osho, cathartic therapies are valuable as preparatory 'spade work': they don't create insight or bliss, they clear the repressed layers—anger, fear, sexuality—that obscure it. In a safe, accepting group, you can discharge this 'poison' skillfully, protecting the inner rose. Then insight or bliss methods like Sufi dance become authentic and luminous; otherwise your practice merely recycles your repressions—rageful, dull, mechanical.
