Let your feelings guide you
by Andrew Goodman
How important a role do the press play? Would we be completely lost without them? What price do we pay for reading their informative stories and keeping up to speed with ‘developments’? Is ignorance really bliss? Was Pollyanna really happy? Why does reading about or hearing bad news make our stomachs turn?
Many people understand human emotions to a certain extent. The basic ones, especially of a negative nature, are there to protect us from things which we feel aren’t good for us. Disgust and fear protect us from physical danger, but do we understand what they mean when our emotions are roused from our observation of life?
They are given labels, embarrassment, fear, anxiety, depression, sadness, loneliness. They all have little situations attached too. And the words conjure up memories of feelings within us which we usually usually take responsibility for. Whatever they are, they all feel bad.
Humans are exceptional beings on the face of the earth, in that they have the ability to think outside the box. They have the ability to direct their thoughts in a creative manner that other animals do not share. When you focus on a subject, you are literally attracting the necessary components to create your object of focus. This is easy to see in the creation of say a house when conceived in the mind of an architect, but it applies to everything physical that you see, even planet earth (though that was a thought that we humans didn’t come up with). Have you ever experienced thinking about a friend and then soon after serendipitously running into them? It seemed like a chance encounter, but was it really?
So where do your emotions come in? Your emotions are like a finely tuned ’sixth sense’ which are calibrated using all of your beliefs and all of your desires on all subjects, and your emotions will guide you towards the fulfillment of those desires. It’s a simple process. If you feel good, that’s positive feedback, and if you feel bad, that’s negative feedback.
If you decided to focus your mind on something that your subconscious knows you don’t want in your life, you will be offered negative emotion. Designed, one can only assume, to try and provoke you to find a thought that feels better, and thereby a creation that you do want. You feel this in your emotional centre, or solarplexus, often described as a ‘gut-feeling’.
If you happened to read about someone being stabbed, and you consider that it could happen to you, as you don’t want to attract that into your life, your subconscious will offer you negative emotions to try to divert your attention. It feels good to feel good, and not so good to think about being stabbed.
When someone says something to you which is unloving, causing you to think thoughts that you are in some way inappropriate, your subconscious knows that is not in line with what you really know to be the case, and so offers you negative emotion to tell you your thinking is off track. Similarly, if you think ill of others, it is not because they have done something wrong or bad, but because your thoughts of them do not sit well with what you really know them to be (that they are good), and so you are offered negative emotions as a guide that you’re a little off course.
Essentially, if you can gravitate towards feeling good more often than not, you are on your path towards creating the things in your life that you want. When you dream of money, fame, beautiful lovers, wonderful houses, it all feels good. When you see yourself and others as good, you feel good. This is because you want to attract all of these things, and all of these characteristics of others into your life. Face reality if its something you want in your life. Your emotions will tell you if it is. It will feel good.
