The proper role of the individual self in relation to the outside world.

I don't think I said anything otherwise? I never said desires need to be stopped, just that thought patterns are indicative of the state of the desires and thus the leanings of polarization. Do you not think desires reflect polarization?

I guess when I think of polarization, I think of the attracting energies of the heart center, so one's desires are a reflection of their state of polarization.

Mind you, I don't think any person can externally tell this of another.

Well, I thought you were saying that exploring negative thoughts was an end in itself and not to be done.

So, I thought it beneficial to describe how exploring these thoughts brings one through processes that shape the mind into something different, possibly "improved", but "improved" is entirely subjective so forget I said that.
