| BkI:8.II.3 | Since this work is an exercise in self-remembrance, we will use an example of everyday life to illustrate. If you are angry with a person or situation you may suppress your anger because of a prior judgment not to feel angry. Or you may just explode with anger and let that energy go out in a rage, in which case you lost the message it has for you. Alternatively, if you join with that energy within, then you keep united with life. Feelings bring energy of life. Life is like the center of a fire, and the flames of that fire are feelings, always on the move, always flaming. If you want to be united to life, you have to be united to whatever comes to your inner world, including feelings. Each feeling has a message for you. |
