Beyond Emotions
Beyond your emotions sits the most powerful human navigation tool a person can use to find peace. Some call it spirit, inner voice, intuitive essence, common sense, wisdom the list goes on and on. Every wisdom tradition/religion asks it's faithful to manage emotions while diving deep into more listening of that “voice.” Focusing on that “voice” versus your emotions will save you from the inevitable circus and shit show relationships can become. Simplistically, ego and fear dominate the emotional landscape and hope you stay tied to its falsities. That “voice” on the other hand is the gateway to knowing true self. It produces wisdom. Wisdom meant to anchor in the truth about you and the Divine landscape. The two are very different. Both must be attended to. Listening and emotional management takes practice; a lot of spiritual practice. The ability to develop consciousness of both usually means a willingness to self-actualize a bit and be stretched in the reconciling of who you are. As we learn to manage emotions while acting on that voice we find a freedom that allows love for self, community and God. This leads to peace and the greatest by-product of peace: happiness and joy.
