If there is peace after mining the feeling then it has done its job and we have done our job and it is no longer needed and will rest back into a seed form ready to be called upon in the future. There is transparency in that moment. At that place we have a choice of moving on to a creative thought that will help align ourselves and the universe with the power of our intention.
However, often we have found floundering in the feelings to be rewarding in some way so may choose at that point to continue to practice the feeling...to cultivate it. We may trade in our authenticity in order to have some security need met in an old way. In our continuing evolution, though, that behavior is not serving us and more of us are learning to drop it for the transparency.
We are also given feedback about our own alignment of intention and feeling by what we are experiencing in the world. The universe is a mirror so if we experience continued conflict we are likely conflicted (the thought and emotion being unaligned in our earlier example).
It is a good thing that we are all becoming better at perceiving the subtle and sublime as we move into increasing complexity.]]>Comment on What's so good about being grumpy?tag:blog.a-ideas.com,2007-02-26:267362dava moneyhttp://www.mainstreetchi.com2007-02-26T15:13:38Z2007-02-26T13:43:54ZComment on Grumpy - and Not the Seventh Dwarftag:blog.a-ideas.com,2007-02-25:266152peter vajda2007-02-25T12:31:26Z2007-02-25T12:24:27Z This is an effective exercise, IMHO, if the thought and the emotion underneath the thought are in alignment. However, if there's a conflict between the thought (positive) and the underlying emotion (fear), the emotion will win out. It's here that one might continue to explore the underlying emotion to see what the "truth" is.
"It does not guarantee that the relationship will continue, however it reduces my suffering "
And, here, too, maybe it's just that suffering that one needs to explore, go through, inquire into, digest and metabolize to see what's underneath (e.g., self-limiting, or self-sabotaging self image, or belief around relationship) that can set one free in a true and real sense than maybe just have a quick appearance of experience of freedom through a quick affirmation.
