Jennifer: All right, let me feel into this. Who to talk to? I think Yeshua gets emotion because we did a lot of work on emotions and I cried my way through a lot of my sessions with him, just releasing a lot of fears and self judgment, so I’m going to ask Yeshua to talk to me about this,
Does emotion have a role in that quote, and as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual, where does emotion sit, and how does it work, and how do you find emotional balance, as we were also talking about balance and teaching about balance? I’m getting an image of a piece of cake. If thoughts are the cake, then emotions are the frosting. (laugh) Thanks for that, Yeshua.
I’m having trouble. I want to answer my own question…I’m finding it a little bit of a slippery slope here …sorry to be slow…
Yeshua: Indeed, this connection is not something you can push or force, it is something that deepens, it goes deep, and if you have been all wound up in your mind, coming up with wonderful wordings for what you’re feeling and thinking, it’s a little more difficult to release that and settle into allowing us a little bit of a toehold within the heart space. We are patient, we do not mind. It is not something you manufacture, this collaboration that we have. And, for you, it is such a felt experience that you cannot imagine not valuing feelings or even valuing them much more greatly than thoughts or the mental body.
The mental body has been active in a great many lifetimes, but you have truly come to value the emotional body for the great pleasures that it brings you, the great values that it brings you, because even the storms, the emotional storms are always complete with a greater understanding, a greater awareness, an important adjustment of the various aspects of the situation. If you have a terrible disagreement with someone that you love, you will be greatly distressed by this, many people avoid this sort of thing, but they do come up.
The very best outcome is to recognize that disturbances are like storms, and they do blow out to sea, and they are followed by a period of calm and reflection, in which you may realize that you have been holding on to a false idea of someone else, or holding on to a value that is no longer helpful to you, or holding on to prejudice, holding on to control, holding on to judgment., or some aspect that is holding you back from the awareness, which feels, when it comes, exquisite, just as when the clouds part and the sun comes out, and that little patch of damp grass you are sitting on, watered with your tears, suddenly lights up.
There is great beauty there in that awareness, and there is great comfort there, and there is great treasure there. This is why your rainbows have the image of a treasure buried, because after the storm comes the rainbow, and at the foot of the rainbow is the treasure.
So the value of emotion within the context of your question is the movement from one to another. It is the wings; it is the swimmer’s arms and legs; it is the motion. This is why it is referred to as emotion. It is the transition from one to another, and also the the permeating and soaking mechanism, which allows you to fully extract from any situation, or any position you are in, the value of that moment.
You were thinking earlier that it [emotion] was the glue which glues these different elements together, but that has a rigidity to it, so it is actually more valuable for you to think of it as water, or as mobility, as movement, transition, flight, just as the bird is clutching the branch and connected to earth in that way, it also can easily fly into air, the element of air, and warm its wings in the sun, stretched out, feel the wind soar and glide, ride. Emotions have the ability to be dense and thick and muddy and hot and fiery, and they also have the ability to be light and sparkly and blissful to the extent that they help you to transcend, to move from one to another.
You understand the emotions being somewhat like an elevator, but think of it also as transitioning through all of the elements, even the dimensions, from the most sublime to the most -not so much harsh as- simple and of one experience, which is very gripping in some way, [e.g.] the dryness of the desert, the suction of the swamp. It is a very visceral and very single-minded, single-feeling experience, and it is rather extreme.
In between the extremes of sublime to intense, you will find the motion from one state to another to bring you many feeling states from simple pleasure, or a moment of tenderness, a moment of warmth and solidarity, a delight in something beautiful, an awe of something freshly perceived and rare. You see, all of your feelings can be experienced, treasured, but they are, they are moving quickly. You will miss it if you do not value, pause, pause and stay with the emotion, as long as it is alive within you.
So yes, it is an aspect of spirit,. Yes, it has an aspect of earth. It has an aspect of mind in that it is, it works very closely with mind, it brings awareness, it brings knowing. These are more the feeling aspects of thinking. It is not so much mechanical as it is alive. It is very much an aspect of spirit, but you are experiencing it through the physical body, because this is where you are now, and most blessedly so.
We will pause and resume this another time, if you have the interest. Thank you all. Much love to you all.
Jennifer: Thank you, Yeshua for this helpful chat. Thank you so much.
