The difference between control and repression

[Mada_]

We tend to attempt to repress parts of the psyche we believe to be detrimental whilst doing consciousness work, in hopes that we will transcend it. For example trying to get rid of thought instead of learning to let go of it. I've found trying to repress it comes with an emotional excess, so when i would try to repress the thought which i believed to be bad, it would be cleared with the sensation of stress. 

I have a feeling this is a waste of time and a very common behavior, people become aware of things that they are told are bad and they see the logic in this notion so they try to shoo it away.

Hey Mada_, I find your work intriguing - perhaps we will share a bus seat together one day. I feel as though I could be sitting right next to you
