Emotions are something most people don’t really think about much. The experts with their degrees will say they’re needed and many go along with this without investigating if it’s true, but I say the hell with the experts and their degrees because if I followed the nonsense from the experts, I would be dead. The turning point in learning about emotions was seeing how although they may manifest in different ways, they all arise from the core of an I persona. What was revealed to me is there’s a created I persona that gets tied into our emotions in many ways. The concept of this I persona is the operating system behind our emotions. These emotions are tied into how we see ourselves, for instance guilt arises when we do something we consider bad or wrong. Anger arises when the I persona is hurt in some way. Fear arises when it is threatened. Sadness arises when there’s disappointment. All these emotions arise because of very different circumstances, this is as far as most people get when it comes to understanding emotions.
The way I investigated emotions is not in how they were different, but what they all have in common; this was where my focus centered. What this led me to see was there’s one common source of every emotion and that source is the created I persona; emotions can’t rule you if an I persona isn’t created. Investigate this to see if it’s true or not, don’t listen to anyone and their view. I said earlier that my emotions would have killed me because I had a tendency when reacting emotionally to use things that were self destructive. It’s not this way today because I’ve learned somewhat (nobody’s perfect) not to attach to an I persona that gives emotions life. When there’s not this I persona reacting to the outside circumstances of life, there’s much more equanimity to remain at peace and not react destructively…
