Let your feelings guide you
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 may be attributed little labels such as fear, embarrassment, anxiety, depression, loneliness, sadness etc, and have easily identifiable circumstances attached, but in essence they all feel pretty lousy. We also tend to take responsibility for our emotions, as they come from inside us, and we tend to associate the bad feelings with ourselves.
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?
And how do emotions play into all this? I like to think of emotions as a sixth sense, a powerful guidance from within. Your subconscious is aware of all of your beliefs and desires on all subjects. When you think a thought, or offer words or actions, your subconscious measures these against your beliefs and desires. If the two are harmonious, you get positive feedback in the form of good feelings, and if they are not harmonious, you get negative feedback in the form of negative feelings.
As your creative mind wanders over something that you do not want in your life, your subconscious offers you negative emotion to attempt to steer your thinking back on course to better feeling thoughts (towards things that you do want). If you are focussing on things that you do want to experience, you will know because you will be offered good feelings which you will feel in your solarplexus (gut feeling), your emotional centre
So the next time you pick up the paper and read about someone being stabbed, and start to feel vulnerable about the same happening to you, remember you are being offered that negative emotion because you do not want to attract such an event into your life. You can focus on better feeling things and attract those instead. Good feels good, bad feels bad.
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.
Life is a perfectly balanced world of good and bad. Which aspects do you want to include in your life? If you can gravitate towards better and better feeling thoughts, then you have the knowledge that you are on track to what you want to achieve in life and what you believe will get you there. As you look for the good in the world, you will attract more and more of it to you. Characteristics of people, houses, jobs, situations, whatever you want. You will know as you use your emotions to guide you. Feel good.
