Its ALL About the Feeling

In the intro posts I've written, I have mentioned feelings before. This is your guidance mechanism as well as a compass. It is also where your true power resides.

Most people confuse feelings with emotions. While similar, they are not exactly the same thing.

There are only two feelings – from which all emotions flow.

You either feel “good” or you feel “bad.”

If you feel good, you experience ease, joy, happiness, love and all the emotions we consider “good.” Apathy, frustration, revenge, anger, rage all feel less “good.” What we call “bad.”

All emotions stem from love. That's it. Love.

Everything is love. Everything.

It has been said that God is Love – and this is true on all levels. Since you are created in God's image (no matter what your religion), you are created in and as Love. Anything else is just not going to feel good.

Negative or “bad” emotions stem from fear. Yet – what is fear? It is a lack of love!

Anger, jealousy, rage, revenge, hatred – all of these are varying degrees of fear. And, if fear is a lack of love, it just shows you how much love you need to bring back into the equation. Right?!

I know... Easier said than done.

After all – there is rape, murder, robbery, violence, war and all sorts of things that create violence, anger, rage and other negative emotions – and rightfully so.

However!!!!

You are the creator of you (as Dee Wallace says)! Created in the “image and likeness” of God means that you are the creator of everything around you. You were created with the same powers of generation and destruction as God. Therefore, it is within your power to control and master both your thoughts and your emotions.

It Ain't About What Your Eyes See...

Its hard work. It takes practice – sometimes lifetimes of practice – but it is your job, and your's alone.

You begin simply by noticing. That's it – sounds simple and it is, but it will only get easier if you apply practice to it.

Notice how you feel when things happen. Notice how you feel as you listen to the radio, watch TV, talk to your children or spouse. Just notice.

Don't DO anything about it – don't beat yourself up for being angry or enraged, don't chastise yourself that you were triggered and certainly don't despair that you sometimes forget. Its OK – nobody ever told you that you are responsible for your own emotions, so its going to take time to figure it all out!

If you feel tension, realize that you need to bring in more love. If you feel anger, sit with it and wait a little while – and remember you need to bring in love to gain understanding.

This does not mean that you have nothing to be angry about! This means that you CHOOSE to not take action until you are calm and can think straight.

I'm not saying not to get angry – there are plenty of things in our world to be angry about! (I am also not saying you should ignore these things.) But what I am saying is to bring love in. With love comes understanding. With understanding comes clarity.

With clarity and understanding, a legitimate and responsible solution will also be more easily attained. A solution that will not only correct the problem (or an aspect of it), but will benefit everyone involved.

In business, this is called a “win-win.” A rather corny term, but it works. Nobody has to lose anything for you or anyone else to have everything and anything desired. But it takes moving from rage to love in order to make that happen.

When the two are one...

In a rather mundane explanation – when your head and your heart work together, (when you are acting both with feeling and clarity) - you are creating the events and circumstances of your life.

Esoterically, when your pineal (thought/vision) and heart (feeling) centers are activated (united), you create a vortex of energy (electromagnetic field), which then “sends” (vibrates) your intentions out into the ethers to – again – materialize (manifest) your desires into your physical reality.

You can do this with anger, hatred and greed, or you can do this with love, joy and excitement! 

The choice is ALWAYS your own. 

And - what you send out is what is coming back. It can be no other way.

I think you can see where I'm going.

The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions

Yes, emotions – because they are degrees of feeling – have power. That is where emotions tie into feeling. The better you can feel, the stronger the attraction – but because we live in a dual situation, the worse you feel, the stronger the attraction as well.

You use them to create circumstances in your life. The problem is – we have already been doing that, and it doesn't work!!

That's primarily because nobody ever told us how “reality” works!! And, when people have tried, the masses generally run for a box of tinfoil or to call the guys with the funny white jackets that have such long sleeves.

All I can do is tell it like it is. I'm not up for a padded room, though I have bought stock in Reynolds...

When you are angry, you try solving problems with varying degrees of violence. This brings violence into your life. This is why Mother Theresa said that she would never join a protest against war, but if anyone would march for peace, she would surely be there. She understood that only by supporting peace can we end war. Using its own negative energy will never work – it will only escalate the situation.

Engaging your heart and head at the same time, with the knowledge that all good things come from love, creates strong love emotions, and from those you will manifest good things, good people, good circumstances and good events.

If you can FEEL love, or joy, or happiness, or even just calm or ease, you can begin to create better things in your life.

But you have to practice.

Fake it Till You Make It

I'm not talking about telling yourself you're a billionaire and then pretending to be on in public when you don't have two thin dimes to rub together... I am talking about re-membering here.

We all spend far too much of our time re-membering every insult, every wise crack, every time someone cut us off on the freeway. For your own good: STOP IT!

Again, this takes noticing and practice...

Try instead to remember the scent of your favorite flower, the first time you drove your very own car, the first time you kissed your lover. Re-member fishing with Grandpa, baking Christmas cookies with Grandma, playing catch with Dad or going to lunch with Mom. Re-Member GOOD things! Fun things! Exciting things!

You don't even have to have something in your memory-bank that relates to what you are wanting to create (which is the beauty of this)!!

If you never seem to have money, you can still intend to get your bills paid by remembering things that make you FEEL great, and attaching the mental picture of you writing out the checks for those bills.  

Once you have yourself feeling good (for whatever reason, or even no reason at all), you simply amplify it and envision what you wish to see in your reality.

Get the feeling down and really, honestly and truly feel it - and keep feeling that way while you envision yourself making bank deposits, writing checks to pay the bills, and seeing your bank balances continue to grow. Feel the sense of accomplishment! Feel the excitement! 

See??

When you go to conjure up something you want, return to those times, feel those feelings, and watch the magick happen!!

All My Love and Blessings,
