I found this message very encouraging. I will have to think what it means when it says, tame your negative impulses by reforming them through the free expression of your bright side. At times we don't realize that simply being ourselves is creating a great disturbance in another. We can't please everyone, and as long as we practice good will I don't think then there's any sense worrying when people fall apart. But sometimes I wonder how much of my self expression is perceived as manipulation or harmful intent, especially if that's not the case? I suppose the worry comes because I care about harmonious relationships, but sometimes my Ego is quite rebellious and mistakes freedom of self expression as more important than the freedom found in sacrifice or renunciation. I am able to make some connections with the saying... Anyways. Hope you guys enjoy. =)

“Moral worth cannot be derived from mere repression—obeying the injunction “Thou shall not.” Fear and shame are unworthy motivations for religious living.” [UB, 140:4.7]
Thought Adjuster:“To repress is to hold something back or to prevent an act of volition — often by force. Inhibition is a feeling that makes one self-conscious and unable to act in a relaxed and natural way. Both refer, generally, to the act of subduing something.
One thing is sure: Repression and inhibition generate unhappy emotions, as they greatly restrict positive self-expression. Sadly, many religious leaders emotionally manipulate their adepts into unhealthy submission by inappropriately scolding and shaming them. How could one ever experience spiritual bliss while suppressing the spontaneous expression of innate soul cheerfulness?
Children raised in disciplinarian households may be deemed good and subservient. However, it is not by choice. Fear of wrongdoing keeps them in check — not love of right doing. Many of them become so distraught that they run away from such dreadful environments.
Your sensitive soul needs a safe and nurturing habitat to deploy its ethereal and iridescent wings. Encouragement works wonders.
Jesus’ ministry had positive connotations that he rightfully referred to as ‘the good news.’ He heralded that the Father loves you no matter what, thus debunking the fake news that the Father only loves those who prudently appeal to His good side — as if He had a bad one. Jesus admonished all to shine their light — not to dim it. As far as he was concerned, there should be no spiritual curfew. He persistently urged his audience to be of good cheer, knowing that happiness is incompatible with harboring any negative emotions.
Instead of merely repressing them, tame your negative impulses by ‘re-forming’ them through the free expression of your bright side. Fear — a master impostor—fuels your inhibitions. By conquering your angst, you will get in touch with your vibrant self. Hook your wagon to the adventurous lead of the Adjuvant Mind Spirit of Courage. It will propel you forward, leaving no regrets behind.”
