"When we witness our tendencies with awareness, we bring the repressed into consciousness, transforming our natural forces into intelligent and creative energies rather than neurotic impulses."
According to Osho, when we witness our tendencies with awareness, we stop turning our backs on them; the repression that created the unconscious relaxes. What was split off resurfaces in consciousness, energy is freed, and natural forces like anger or sex become available, intelligent, and creative rather than neurotic. Awareness heals the division, ending the ostrich-like blindness that breeds anxiety and compulsion.
When you simply watch your urges without judging them, they stop being a problem and become helpful energy.
