Emotions

To become a more loving human you must spend time not being a loving human. The experience of not being a loving human sets you up to experience what it feels like to have this void of experience. You have already been there and it is not the best place. You have already experienced this and you might again but it is not the best place to spend time in although it is necessary as then you may know in your bones that you do not want to be there again. You may shed these layers of unlovingness once you have experienced unlovingness. You become more loving once you have experienced being unloving and recognize that you do not belong in this energy frequency. The contrasts exist so that you may rise up and you have the experience in your cellular memory of what it feels like to be in grief without love, to be in loss without love, to be in anger without love, to be in love with someone without love. And then once you recognize that this is not where you want to be, in this unloving state, you are able to hold yourself in love when you are in grief, you are able to hold yourself in love when you are angry, sad, hurt, resentful or any other emotion that is part of the human experience. All of these emotions you can hold yourself with love and you can hold someone else with love too. Love is always there to guide you through these emotions, these natural temporary and ever shifting states of energy. But to hold oneself in love when one is angry is different than holding oneself without love when one is angry. Its a shift that lets one pass through an emotional state without judgement, condemnation or despair. Holding oneself through difficult emotions with love is a conscious step towards recognizing that these emotional states are temporary and part of our human experience that are not to be eradicated or done away with. If one is still on this Earth, one still has emotions—all of them—and the more we are able to hold ourselves and others with love when we experience them—all of them—the more likely one is to pass through the difficult ones with ease and grace. This is something that consciousness brings, the awareness of the difficulties we have and the strength and ability and love we have to hold ourselves in the highest light especially through the yucky and uncomfortable feelings. Especially when we are in anger or rage or sadness or grief. This is when one’s consciousness is most turned on, most needed, most regarded. For when one can hold oneself in love during the least seemingly loveless situation or experience, that is the fodder for raising one’s consciousness even higher, that recognition that ‘I can move through any energy and I can take my time and experience it all and I can become even more loving because of this difficult thing.’ Sometimes raising one’s consciousness confuses one to think that they will not experience anger, frustration, sadness, rage or resentment. Most often these feelings come up because of the elevation of consciousness, because of the heightened level of awareness of our world’s injustices, and the awareness of what is not right, what feels bad, what seeing injustices and seeing loss and sorrow and disruption does to humans when one has heightened their awareness makes one feel even stronger emotions, and often helplessness. If one can hold oneself in loving kindness when one feels helpless, this is the ultimate act of love. Raising awareness, raising consciousness, moving through helplessness and finding one’s unique set of gifts that helps other humans get out of unjust situations is the way to the Soul’s path, the way to experience the Soul’s mission and carry out the Soul’s mission here on Earth. Raising consciousness is not just about being more loving to oneself, its about getting mad, getting angry, getting to the heart of where one’s Soul feels that there is no other way but to carry out its mission—what that perfect mission is—and find the tools, the resources and the loving support of the mind and the body to carry it out. You are already on your path, you’re doing it, you know what you have to do. Now go do it. So be it.
