| BkI:16.III.4 | You created the emotional world and with it the body to have a space in which to create in a way different from God. The emotional and physical body is like a courtyard where your demons, created by you at your leisure, dance. In that courtyard are the barricades that block love. It is where you dance the dance of suffering, absent from the dance of eternally joyful life. Your absence is in your consciousness, not in truth. You use emotions to judge everything that you judge. You "create" in your emotional body a whole world of actions and reactions, emotions of all kinds and colors, like a chain of causes and effects, unfolding one after the other. They are fireworks for those attracted to the show. They are what make you feel alive. This is how life is supposed to be, you say, without asking how it could be different. |
