What is the relationship between our impulses and emotions like hatred, jealousy, and anger?

definition
"Your impulses are the raw energies of life; when you embrace them without judgment, you transform the shadows of hatred and anger into the light of awareness."
According to Osho, our impulses are natural life energies; emotions like anger, jealousy, and hatred are not foreign to us but expressions of that energy. Society’s labeling of them as “bad” forces repression, splitting consciousness into conscious and unconscious. Repressed energies do not vanish—they act from the basement of the mind. Bringing clear awareness to them restores inner unity and transforms their power constructively.
These feelings are natural energy; when we hide them because we’re told they’re bad, they sneak out worse—so notice and accept them to stay whole.
