Emotions

Emotions are produced by the intellect. They are plastic feelings.

We think we feel emotions. Facts are feelings. Feelings are facts.

You could say facts are real and emotions are imagined. Even though we imagine our facts. It gets very confusing, but bear with me.

Emotions are based on your environment and programming. Feelings  are based on your inner world, your soul. Emotions are outer, feelings are inner.

Feelings are self-contained. They are subjective and independent  of thoughts and sensations. Though you need thoughts to interpret and understand your feelings.

Emotions are not  true feelings. Feelings are not emotions. Yet both are felt.  It does get confusing.

Psychologists who study emotions and feelings create some rather large words and combinations of words to describe this confusion. But keep it simple. There are thoughts, feelings and emotions.

• Thoughts come from the intellet, the mind and deal with direction.

• Emotions come from the intellect and are reactions to the environment and programming.

• Feelings (true feelings) come from your inner world, your soul, your heart, your feeling nature. The good, kind, sharing loving part of you.

Things you touch are felt. These are not the true feelings we are discussing. True feelings are you inborn desires. Some people are born to explore, some to write, some to build. These inner desires are your true feelings.

Being happy your sports team won their game on Saturday is an emotion. Emotions tend to be fleeting and pass with time. Feelings have a perennial nature and tend to last.

Emotions are a form of judgement: good or bad, win or lose, smile or cry. These are all emotional responses to events in your environment.

Feelings are a rational function that discerns and evaluates and acts  rather than judge and reacts.

Mediation is almost required to discern your feelings. It takes a calm mind. You need to be detached from your environment and programming to clarify your feelings. Emotions are reactions connected to your environment and programming.

They are two different inputs using the same wires. They are different in their vibration.

True feelings tend to be permanent and unchanging. While emotions have a fleeting aspect to them. No matter how good or strong the emotions are, they do not last.

Feeling of value is a true feeling. Wanting to learn and grow is a true feeling. True feelings look forward with a clear direction. " I want to be a scientist and discover the secret to life" is a feeling.

Feelings tend to last a lifetime.

Feeling happy is an emotion. "I'm happy it's my birthday."

True feelings look forward with a clear direction. Emotions look at an event, a particular space in time.

Technique III

Cleanse and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and relax.

Call your Guidance in close.

Go to your Sea of Tranquility.

See yourself inside a bubble, like a flying saucer, which is a laboratory, a planning room with a big TV screen on the wall.

See yourself sitting at a terminal of a powerful computer. You are creating the program that runs your life.

You type in the variables: People, Events.

Type in the goals: What you want to experience; what you want to accomplish; what you want to learn.

Then type in the program loop:

For as long as I live. I want to function

• as a Wayshower;

• as my own prototype;

• enjoy every moment;

• be of service to myself and others;

Exit the program

How does that feel? change the word Wayshower to BreadWinner or President or Farmer or Scientist or Mother or whatever you want.

Then imaging living your life according to the program that you wrote.

Record your experience in your journal.
