We can transform a passion or an instinct and transforming it interpret it to understand what it truly wants.

If we continue to be dominated by passions, or instincts we will never be free, therefore we will never live, we can never transform ourselves.

And so, on the other side, if we deny our passions and the instincts that agitate us, we will lose energy, and the desire to live, losing the tie to our nature, our history, our roots. We cannot be transformed.

We must therefore pay attention, listen deeply to our reactions, our excesses, voracious desires, suffering and pain¯before which we feel impotent¯because there is our treasure, our vital energy.
