Emotions

Particular Projection/Reflection (P/R) modes engender particular emotions.

Being aberrations of Will the force of creation, and Love the force that unites (relates) its manifestations - emotions may be considered weak forces.
Strong force arises in the P/R equation of Will & Love

Emotions tend to distort and impede the operations of mind – markedly those regarding its Self-realization.

There are probably as many emotions as there are P/R varieties, although some, like envy & jealousy, emanate from similar confusions.

Concerning Self-realization, the most misleading emotions are wishes & hopes, as they stir the belief of Homo to be able to be someone else than he is.

Like all his weaknesses, Homo justifies his emotions too, claiming that they are essential for his survival as well as for being human, which might also be the reason for his belief that emotions make up a “person” (Latin: actors mask). A belief which has reached religious scales, considering that all the lost, the losers & those who want to play a role in life, make – with the help of media & commerce – ever more spectacles of their emotions, thus turning them into the most popular and successful self-deception-tool of modern times.

A fatal emotion is fear, as it impedes the interactivity of psyche & soma, and thus can paralyze the mind.
(An effective way to get rid of fear is doing everything that provokes and drives it to its limits.)

When emotions become too much for Homo to handle, his psychologists & moralists place them into sub-conscious & sinful regions, thus enabling to regard himself as their victim.
(Sub-consciousness denotes here a garbage disposal or dungeon of mind)

However, emotions can be useful too, when scorn and anger arise, inflaming the desire to get rid of this mess - and if they are joined by pride and the lust to fight, the much the better, as they enable to attack vigorous and joyful all that which obstructs Self-realization.

Very wise words there.

I'm having the whole experience that even the emotions of love and bliss associated with Self-realisation can impede any further progress made in regards.

Yeah, I once felt what it was like...until 'too much of a good thing' led to my total desensitisation from it...like eating too much chocolate ice-cream until one gets a tummy ache from it.

Then one rests in the experience of 'is this all there is?' even knowing full well that there can be nothing more and an impasse is reached.

Sort of like climbing a mountain, reaching the top, but getting bored with the view...so a 'different mountain' needs to be climbed, but how long before one gets bored with the view from the summit of that one?

I can say, feel, know deep within my core 'aham brahmasmi' but it makes no difference to who/what I am...as if it ever did to start with because that's who/what I am anyway.

Now, I feel like I have no emotions left...that Self-realisation killed them all...even the feelings arising from the realisation itself are no longer there and I'm like a shell of a human...a worn out husk of being.

It shouldn't be like that.

Yes, that's one way of putting it, dream jo. To me, emotions arise because of the difference between what you want (or what situation you are in) and what you need or yearn to have and can't at the moment (or the situation you want to be in, or the old one you can't get out of at the moment).

Mostly down to basic drives not being met.

Very wise post thank you!

Lately I have been thinking that emotions are just maniplation tehnique. We do something because we are unable to control our emotions, emotions are too strong that our mental field even isn't involved.

Being overly emotional means the person is out of balance.

Emotions, most of the time are artificial, and stems from belief structures and consequent thoughts, which blurs the Self or natural state.

By questioning our belief systems and shedding them, we can attain our authentic state of being.

As the enlightened master Gilbert Schultz stated, "The only fact you truly know is that you exist. All the rest is conceptual constructs in mind."

Emotions can cause actions & reactions which, occasionally, chase each other throughout the life of their beholder.
Some emotions can affect adrenalin rushes & heart attacks, while others may bring about murder & suicide, or Eifel- & Trump-towers.

There are innumerable works about emotions and their effects, yet only few do mention that emotions are addictive. An omission that ought not to surprise, since addicts do not only tend to deny their predicament, but to elaborate sophisticated cover-ups, excuses & deceptions, and sometimes even try to seduce and to corrupt those who do not cherish
Anger - Anguish – Anxiety - Existenceangst - Disgust - Distrust - Hatred – Envy - Fear – Greed - Frustration – Grief – Guilt – Hostility - Humiliation - Jealousy - Regret – Rage – Remorse – Resentment - Sadness - Shame – Sorrow - Suffering ….

I have my own take on emotions, I think this society tries to block them as much as possible, whether it's people engrossed in materialism or spiritual people. It happens to me all the time. The brain does everything it can to try not to experience deep emotions if it feels it needs that protection. It'll come up with all kinds of distractions and reasons that sound very good to not get in touch with what's really going on inside.

Emotions are actually good, whether they're 'negative' or 'positive', it's something we want because that's how we're made. There are no bad or wrong emotions, all of them are natural and healthy reactions to what we experience. If we're angry, there's a very good reason for it. If we're depressed or anxious, there's a very good reason because emotions don't come out of the air, they're responses of the body to our experience in life. If there's alot of depression, that's the body telling us something is going on we need to look at. It may be something unresolved inside us from the past. Anger helps us have boundaries, care and respect ourselves and others. Imagine if there was no anger at child abuse?

I have just recently learned something which is pretty weird.

I cannot feel or express emotions (generally) as I have a condition called alexithymia.

I have pretty much always had it, because I'm also on the autism spectrum.

Now, a lot of people have come to actually like and accept me for having no emotions and just expressing myself coldly and bluntly - making no reference to myself whatsoever, because I cannot remain totally objective and 'focused' if I do.

The very moment I even try to express an emotion - if I feel the situation calls for it, or I'm confused with a mental conundrum, those same people will tell me how I am 'not acting like myself' or I'm 'having a brain fart/wobble' or they tell me how much they like it when I am not feeling any emotion whatsoever and only speaking rationally and scientifically.

Weird huh?
