News Letter #256 Emotions 2nd Nov 2009 Message from Maitreya: I have been asked on more than one occasion about emotions. What are they and how do they affect our spiritual lives? First of all I must emphasize that, when I am writing about emotions, I am referring to negative emotions such as anger, etc. The emotional body is a part of humanity tied to the animal part of you. It is a part of the Self, a separate body which is designed to hold you back from moving forward. It knows all your fear, anger, frustration, weak, negative parts of you, and it is capable of pulling it out of a hat like magic whenever it needs to slow you down. I was asked once about happiness and asked, “Is not happiness an emotion?” and I say “No.” I say that happiness is a feeling. It is not happiness that holds you back. It is not happiness that stops you from growing. It is happiness which urges you on. It is a positive, not a negative, energy. I hope that for some souls this will answer a question they have had for some time. It is only the negative emotions which the Self clings to, uses, and abuses. That is the difference. Maitreya. |
