It is sometimes scary to let our negativity become conscious. We can be very invested in being "good" or "nice." Facing negativity is especially scary if we forget it is only a part of who we are. It is not the whole picture. Owning the part of ourselves that says, "I want my way or else" or "You'd better give it to me" can free up creative energy. Out in the light of consciousness, our negativity can be transformed to the deeper truth, "I want to love and be loved." Transformation can only happen if we are aware that it is needed.
