There is so much power in our emotions! We intuitively know that just from experiencing life! That’s why we tend to avoid recalling traumatic events. Some even try to avoid their emotions completely! What if we utilized the powerful energy of our emotions for guidance? What if this system provided us with an accurate & individual guide in life: an aid to personal discernment? In this second part of this series titled ‘TOO EMOTIONAL’ we expand on this. Before continuing, pleas

Humans are innately emotional. We’re VERY emotional beings: perhaps the most emotional creature we know of! But are we really ‘TOO EMOTIONAL’? Many believe that ‘being emotional’ is a handicap to rational functioning. Many believe that emotions cause intolerance & even conflict on Earth. They have convinced us to suppress & downplay our feelings. This has been a subtle part of our education & social conditioning. Was this approach all wrong? Have we unwittingly diminished & d

Our true POWER comes from maintaining SOVEREIGNTY over our thoughts #selfesteem #emotions #transformation #reality #wisdom #discernment #contemplation #egomind

Many of us are relatively fortunate. We probably haven’t had our lives affected by gross trauma. We might not have been subjected to gross poverty, war, violence, alcoholism or drugs, etc. But could we somehow still have been traumatized and not even realize this? PAST TRAUMA IS AN ADDITIONAL CHALLENGE TO OVERCOME! There is an ongoing stress that follows a traumatic life-event. It’s not just the event itself. The resultant subconscious memories can be considerable. These ar

Our mind is normally lit up & burning with racing thoughts. #emotions #habits #challenges #egomind #stress

Part (a) Facing our traumas Think back on your own life; right back to your earliest memories. How has it really been? HOW HAS IT REALLY FELT?... Often, we feel alone, vulnerable & insecure. We might feel totally out of place! It’s as if we don’t belong in our birth family, or even on this planet! We’ve probably also had some traumatic life events, or perceived some experiences as being quite distressing. We might feel wounded and needing to compensate or defend our self i

We can’t stop our thoughts completely, but we can unattach from them and let them pass by #attachment #emotions #discernment #habits #intent #egomind

FREEDOM from the Ego-mind comes from letting go of all our expectations & attachments #selfesteem #emotions #awakening #discernment #habits #egomind

The world is in a bad way! What a mess! Everything seems in CHAOS. This seems so apparent. Bad news is everywhere! We watch it on television, read it in the press, hear it on the radio and view it on our internet feed. If it’s not overt conflict & death, then it’s fear of more terror. WE EXIST IN A STATE OF GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY & GREAT TURMOIL. Political instability contributes to this uncertainty, triggering uprising or revolt. Each nation fears some other. One community rese

Sometimes we glimpse the potential benefit of changing our life. Then doubts arise: Should we attempt changing? Will it really succeed? Is it worth the effort? What problems will it produce? OUR DOUBT, DISTRUST AND EVEN CYNICISM CAN SURFACE! Often, we don’t fully accept it’s worth the effort or the risk involved. Or, we don’t really believe we can achieve this. We don't trust the process. Sometimes we foresee potential problems in changing. As a result, WE CAN BECOME UNCE

SOCIETY CONDONES THE STATUS QUO of not changing our self, by encouraging temporary solutions! We have previously discussed the usual ‘SOCIAL ADDICTIONS’ commonly used for temporary relief, such as caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. If we really want to protest our discontent, we might also experiment with additional ‘HARD DRUGS’. We try these to numb our deep despair in this way - to try to artificially break through to who we really are. We seek to distract from or bypass our

We miss out on so much in life… because we attach or ‘grasp too tightly’. We become ‘attached’ in some way to people or material things. We have become habituated or addicted to living this way. We have become ‘addicted to life!’ Background information on this theme is available in Part 1 and Part 2 of this blog. In Part 3 we now continue a discussion of ‘what we miss out on’ and why we miss out? WE CHOOSE TO POSSESS OR ‘HAVE THINGS’, RATHER THAN ‘JUST BE’ OUR TRUE SELF. We
