Native Spirit, your side note is well taken and bears truth. Emotions can be repressed,
but even repressed emotions often find expression in our outward behavior. Like you have said,
something may trigger a feeling or behavior and the person does not know why they feel that way,
or are behaving that way. The answer is often a repressed emotion expressing itself.
Most people have unconscious or repressed desires, or repressed conditioning from the past. It may
even be a defense mechanism, an embedded dysfunction, or some other maladjustment. We all have
idiosyncrasies, foibles, and other sensitivities in our persona that may bring a knee jerk reactive feeling
to our consciousness.
These repressed responses can also happen while we are asleep dreaming. Understanding that even
waking life is a dream. In raising our consciousness we may become clear, transparent, and not carry
around the various hues of emotion as much as we once did. We separate ourselves from the various
astral bodies which make up our human existence when we engage in spiritual development.
Namaste
