EMOTIONS, NOTHING MORE THAN A BLINDING LIGHT, A THICK FOG

“Emotion: The body’s reaction to your mind”
Eckhart Tolle

I know this may upset people, and for that I am sorry, but the truth is what it is, whether you agree with it or not, it is not there to be judged.
Emotions can cause so much suffering, don’t be a fool and allow them to control you, you have to control them, only the foolish are guided by emotions, and one should act from a state of love, the ego-less love, the divine love, it is not an emotion but a way of being, a state that permeates all life and never causes harm, it is beyond any word but unfortunately that’s all we have, it can only be experienced.
It truly breaks my heart to see so many people suffering because of that voice inside their own selves and see how much pain it causes them and those around them, if only we could communicate so honestly with each other, with out having to worry how someone is going to feel, if only people could see themselves and each other as we truly are and not how every one wishes they were, not every one is smart, nor strong, though we like to think that we are, so many people these days have big homes and large bank accounts, and yet they are so poor and lonely inside. If we could all communicate from that universal point in which all beings understand, even animals experience primitive, simple emotions living in the moment, and have only a basic understanding of there surroundings and there place in the world, and yet individuals in the past who have been in touch with the eternal, are able to tame the most frightened and aggressive animals, which is far beyond the current capabilities of so many humans because they think that they are above these animals for some reason, there is no other species upon this world that has caused so much suffering to its own kind and to others, what other animal kills out of greed, or pride, sometimes I find it so disgusting too see how so many humans act toward each other, and other beings. All beings wish for happiness and we are all components of the earth, the human body is not beautiful or ugly, it just is, a vehicle for life, do you think your arm feels love or anger, does your leg feel jealousy or fear, do your pets limbs feel hunger or hope, our body is made from the same matter as the trees and ants, and even your own computer, your fingers don’t feel depressed or shame, there just skin and bone, mostly water, why are you so attached to a bit of skin and water, do the leaves feel hate, does your hair feel afraid, all emotions are a product of a judging ego that’s all, you are not anger you are not happiness, you are caught in a cage you cant control, or even see. There are many paths to the eternal, just as long as you follow them honestly, and are honest with yourself.

In the Garden of Solitude

 T he stillness where shadows whisper,   I wander the garden of my solitude,   Amongst the withered petals of hope,   Fear blooms like a nig...
