Most people understand negative emotions as a means of protecting us from harmful things; things which we believe subconsciously or consciously will not be good for us. Fear and disgust are two such emotions. But what about the emotions generated from our responses to life? What purpose do they serve?
They may be attributed little labels such as fear, embarrassment, anxiety, depression, loneliness, sadness etc, and have easily identifiable circumstances attached, but in essence they all feel pretty lousy. We also tend to take responsibility for our emotions, as they come from inside us, and we tend to associate the bad feelings with ourselves.
What differentiates homo sapiens from all other animals on the planet is their ability to freely think, and focus on whatever they want. This power is not to be underestimated. Thought energy becomes physical things. As you focus your attention on a subject, you are attracting all the things that you need into your life to actualise that subject into reality. This might be a wonderful partner, or a dream house. Everything starts with a thought - even this planet. Think of the big bang as a big idea.
So what about emotions? Well, you can think of your emotions as a sort of sixth sense. Your subconscious is aware of all of your beliefs and your desires in life, and it uses this information as a benchmark against which your thoughts are measured. If they make the grade, you get good feelings as positive feedback, and if your thoughts don’t make the grade, you get negative feedback in the form of negative emotion.
If you are focussing on something that you don’t want to create, you are offered negative feeling to warn you to steer your thoughts in a better feeling direction. If you feel good, then you are using your free will to focus on things that you do want to attract into your life.
So when you read the news about someone being stabbed and you feel bad, you are being offered that bad feeling because your subconscious knows that you don’t want to get stabbed, and so it offers you a bad feeling to warn you to find better feeling thoughts.
When someone says something to you which is unloving, causing you to think thoughts that you are in some way inappropriate, your subconscious knows that is not in line with what you really know to be the case, and so offers you negative emotion to tell you your thinking is off track. Similarly, if you think ill of others, it is not because they have done something wrong or bad, but because your thoughts of them do not sit well with what you really know them to be (that they are good), and so you are offered negative emotions as a guide that you’re a little off course.
Life is a perfectly balanced world of good and bad. Which aspects do you want to include in your life? If you can gravitate towards better and better feeling thoughts, then you have the knowledge that you are on track to what you want to achieve in life and what you believe will get you there. As you look for the good in the world, you will attract more and more of it to you. Characteristics of people, houses, jobs, situations, whatever you want. You will know as you use your emotions to guide you. Feel good.
