Lesson 5: Transcend Your Emotions - A New Frontier
Release your Emotions and embrace your True Feelings
Within you is a voice that tells you what is acceptable behavior and tends to neutralize your True Feelings. This Emotional Voice will neutralize you by creating thoughts that:
- create Guilty feelings over actions you have taken.
- tells you a little success is OK. But strive too much and you might fail.
- make you become Fearful of trying something new. Or meeting new and different people. Or fearful of being accepted.
- stimulate extreme Longing for people who have left you.
- make you believe you are not Worthy. People will not like you or accept you.
- creates Anger when there is an injustice.
Emotions are a learned reaction to life. They are not innate to the soul. You were taught to react in a particular way (examples above). Emotions are how you think you should react. Your emotional concepts are the source of your unfulfilled dreams. Your emotions are the reason your "heart's desire" is repressed. Your emotions neutralize the Real You from taking action.
Feelings are pure and simple. They are innate to the soul. Your feelings are an integral element of your true life purpose. They are the passion of the soul. Your feelings are similar to the Zen phrase, "I am, that I am." Your feelings come from the heart. They are what you want for yourself.
The four previous lessons helped you create a stronger aura and learn more about your life purpose. This lesson is the remaining step in your transformation process.
You will need to slowly read the rest of this lesson. There is a lot to absorb.
Basics of who you are
First of all, you are a soul with a physical body. You do not have a soul, you are a soul. In addition you are energy. Finally you are the sum total of all your experiences through time.
There are two aspects to your soul consciousness.
Conscious Mind is referred to as the Intellect or Head.
Subconscious Mind is referred to as Feelings or Heart.
Finally, your Conscious and Sub Conscious need to be in balance. You need a feeling or inspiration for the direction of your life. Also, you need an effective interpretation (or direction) for your inspiration.
How you interpret your impressions and take action
Step 1: All your impressions, hunches, desires, insights, dreams, and aspirations all come through the Subconscious mind - Heart. Hence the term "heart's desire." Your heart's desire is the source of passion and determination to accomplish your dreams. You could say that all important aspects of your life comes from your heart. It is the motivating drive of the soul.
Step 2: Next the impression in your feelings flows to the intellect for an interpretation for what you were feeling.
Consequentially, the true purpose of the Conscious mind - Intellect is very simple. It is to organize the steps or methods to accomplish the heart's desire. Finally the intellect's only purpose is to organize the heart's desire into effective steps. It's role is not to tell the feelings what can or cannot be done. What it should or should not do.
Therefore you could say the conscious mind is a gateway for the subconscious mind to take action in the physical world. Every successful activity a person has begins with a desire of the heart. Furthermore your desire becomes organized by the conscious mind and then acted upon in the physical world.
Success in Life
Every successful activity the soul takes has three simple steps:
Step 1: Having a Feeling or Desire to move in a particular direction. "I want to ........."
Step 2: Intellect determines or organizes a way to accomplish the feeling (heart's desire)
Step 3: With a balance of Feeling (Desire) and Intellect (Organization), the Action (Implementation) is taken.
Sounds pretty simple, right? For many people however successful actions are not that simple.
Why it is difficult to transform your life
The primary reason is a term you probably already know: Emotions.
Consequentially, there is a difference between Emotions and Feelings. My interpretation of the concept of Emotions may be a little different than what you already know. Feelings and Emotions are different and the lack of clarity is the root cause of confusion and anxiety. Emotions limit your ability to transform your life easily.
Feelings are pure and simple. They are innate to the soul. Your feelings are an integral element of your true life purpose. They are the passion of the soul. Your true Feelings are similar to the Zen phrase, "I am, that I am." When you are living life from your true feelings, it flows with fulfillment.
Emotions are a learned reaction, they are not innate to the soul. They are connected to the conscious mind. Emotions are the basis of all fears, guilt, anxiety, anger, worthiness, and worry.
Your emotions are a learned reaction. Therefore you were trained to react in a particular way. You learned most of your emotional reactions during your first fourteen years of life. For example, emotions are:
- Fearful of making a mistake
- Guilty over past decisions
- Being Judged or concerned over what other people think
- Judging other people for the decisions they make
- Expecting people to behave in a particular way. Especially friends and family members.
- Extreme Longing for people who have left you.
- Believe you are not Worthy. People will not like you or accept you.
- Create Anger inside when there is an injustice
Your emotions can be a major influence in your life. Your emotions are the reason you become neutralized and do not take action on your heart's desire.
Over many generations of mankind, the Conscious Mind has been transformed from the Organizer of Feelings to Judge/Denial of Feelings. From your early years you were trained by elements of society (parents, church, friends) to be fearful, guilty, unworthy, judgmental, or angry.
Your true nature of just organizing your feelings has been corrupted to neutralize your heart's desire. These lessons are designed to help you start making the changes within so that you Organize your Feelings, and not Deny your Feelings. This is a major factor that affects your mental and physical health. If you deny or ignore your Heart's Desire, you will not allow the flow of spiritual energy through you body. Your chakras will become blocked.
This one insight has a powerful impact on your life. Take a few moments and reflect on this topic. How does it impact your life?
Ways Emotions affects your Feelings.
When in your Feelings:
- You have a desire or aspiration (you want to do something).
- This desire goes to your mind to become organized with a plan.
- Finally, you take action and implement the plan
When being influenced by your Emotions:
- You have a desire or aspiration (you want to do something).
- This desire goes to your mind to become organized with a plan.
- Then, your emotions take over and neutralize the desire
- What will people think?
- What if I fail?
- I need more information
- Will I be accepted?
- Your emotions create a delay in taking action or you may never take action. You can become neutralized. Therefore, your timing is thrown off or you settle for a small success instead of what your truly want.
As a result, your emotions are the pathways for other people to manipulate you or influence you into taking actions that you do not truly want.
How free do you want to be to be and transform your life?
Do you want more freedom and energy to live the life you want? However, the solution is identifying your emotions that act as the judge and jury in neutralizing your life. You do not need to experience a stagnant life and being unproductive. You can live the life you want.
However, you need to find the courage to transform your life
From: Feel - Over organize (emotions engaged) - Delay action
To: Feel - Organize - Take Action
Life will become simpler as your emotions are minimized. I know you can accomplish the changes in your life that you want. I know that because you are reading this and have made it to the end of this lesson. This means that something inside you is ready for meaningful change. You are ready to accept an alternative path than the one you have been on.
What emotions are holding you back?
- Take a moment and do the Rhythmic Breathing Technique and visit you Sacred Space
- Now, make a list of the emotions that neutralize you the most. What thoughts enter your consciousness when you really want something important from your heart?
Do you realize now your emotions are not the real you? Your emotions are tendencies you assimilated during your first fourteen years of life. How can you overcome these emotions?
Put your list in your note binder. You will be using the list later.
