We are encouraged to ignore them and some of the older schools of thought encourage us to suppress them, to reject them and perhaps even hate ourselves because we have them. As we move forward in our evolutionary process it becomes ever more apparent that such an approach does not succeed. In most cases, such self-hatred only distances us from love in general, and in some cases can turn us into bitter and sometimes even dangerous persons. Recently developed schools of psychology encourage us to accept our emotions as natural and to avoid suppressing them. Some advocate discharging our emotional energy onto others regardless of how they feel or how we would feel in their place. This too is not a satisfactory solution. Suppress of Release? If we are not to hate and suppress, nor release our emotions onto others, what other options do we have? Most of what we call emotions are waves and fields of energy, that are generated by subconscious thoughts, memories and programmings that have been stimulated into movement by specific "stimuli" that bring up positive and negative reactions. These energies or feelings are a natural part of our evolutionary process and are there to guide us in this process. Negative (not bad - but just unpleasant) feelings cause us to want to get free from those unpleasant states. Positive (not good - but pleasant) feelings tend to attract us to do again whatever we did to create them. Simply put we seek to avoid pain and create pleasure. This natural feedback guidance system is wisely-developed so as to move us forward towards our true life purpose which is the realization of our own true self - our divine nature, while as consciousness, we are temporarily focused here in these physical bodies. As we seek our way out of pain and into pleasure, we are moved forward in the evolution. During this process we have the free will to chose any variety of less evolved solutions to our pain such as overeating, drinking, drugs, tranquilizers, over working, isolation from others, anger, revenge, hate, self-destruction and getting lost in external stimuli such as TV, sex, gambling, and any other possible reaction we might have to pain. As we grow we are free to experiment with these various ways to temporarily ease the pain of these unpleasant emotions such as hurt, pain, rejection, fear, anxiety, loneliness, jealousy, envy, anger, disillusionment and depression. These are all valid as stepping-stones towards more and more permanent solutions. They are not inherently bad in anyway. They simply do not work after a period of time. There is nothing to be gained by rejecting ourselves because of such choices. Equally, there is also nothing to be gained by continuing to seek solutions in such external ways, because they simply do not work. Being in touch with but also detached from our feelings. Some of us are in touch with our feelings and may have difficulty maintaining our logic and objectivity when dealing with difficult situations. Others of us are totally out of touch with our feelings, while they work subconsciously to create our psychosomatic illness. These unrecognized and unaccepted emotions also make us sensitive to behaviors and events, creating emotional blockages to various experiences without our understanding why. What we propose here is an alternative perception of this matter. We can actually perceive these emotions as guideposts towards our freedom - if only we would listen to them. Every time we feel a negative (unpleasant) emotion, we are being informed that an adjustment needs to be made. It is as if we have sensors on our car that let us know with a beeping sound when we are moving too far to the right or to the left on the road and are in danger of going of the road. Changing the world or ourselves - or both? The road we are on is placed between two basic guardrails of inner change and outer change. When we do not feel well with what is happening or with who we are, we are being asked to make adjustments in the way we think, act, live, and behave. These emotions are the "beeps" that are telling us either to make adjustments in what is happening in our lives or make adjustments in ourselves so that we feel happy, safe, worthy and satisfied with our lives as they are. These are the two categories of adjustments: 1. We need to become more able to create what we desire in order to feel safe, worthy, free and happy. This may include. a. Communicating needs and ideas to others. b. Improving the state of our body or mind. c. Making changes in our economic or professional lives. d. Making adjustments in our relationships. e. Learning new abilities and talents. f. Becoming more assertive (not aggressive) in creating what we would like for others and ourselves. There are many other possibilities. 2. We need to learn be happy with ourselves, our relationships, work, economic situation and life in general as it is. a. This often means learning to feel our self-worth within ourselves, independent of external factors and childhood programming. b. Perhaps this means to learn to feel secure and worthy regardless of our economic or professional situation. c. It may mean learning to feel secure and happy even when we are ill, or need others support or service. d. Perhaps we need to learn to love someone as he or she is, with their faults and weakness, and negativity. e. We might need to learn to let go of the past and thus of any bitterness, anger, resentment towards others. f. Or perhaps to forgive ourselves and let go of guilt, shame and self-rejection. g. We may need to feel the presence of the Divine in our lives, even in difficulties and trials. h. Another lesson is to realize that we are actually free and that there is no such thing as suppression because we actually choose whatever we do. Every act is our free choice. (See the chapter on Freedom.) i. Some may need to learn to say "no" with love. Others may need to learn to say "yes" with love. j. We may need to learn that we cannot create others' reality and that they cannot be responsible for ours. k. We may simply need to learn to love ourselves and others as we all are. There are hundreds of other possible lessons.
