At times I find that deep spiritual truths are unhelpful…
I’m often noticing that they aren't useful to those who are suffering.
For example, somebody might want to help you by sharing spiritual truths about non-duality or enlightenment that makes sense to them, drawing from their own experience, but instead of helping, it confuses you even more. It keeps you stuck in your head.
It's not your fault.
When you are seeking healing and answers, spiritual truths are enticing, but are seldom the medicine you need.
As emotions are the driving-forces of our lives,
it makes sense to learn to relate to them and train ourselves to show up and provide tender-wise leadership inside.
For a long time, we collectively tried to do away with emotions (because their huge strength scares us), and tried to use logic and reason to lead our lives.
But the thinking part of the brain is a relatively new addition, and try as it might, it's not succeeding as the 'boss' of our lives.
The mind likes tasks, but left to itself it behaves very much like an abandoned child:
scared, desperate, jumping all around... Not a reliable leader on its own. It needs the presence and leadership of the heart.
Emotions can be very scary, their strength and intensity often intimidate us.
But whatever is intimately known will not be intimidating anymore.
Instead, the 'knowing' results in trust.
Emotions are ancient and have work to do.
Every emotion is intelligence. Intelligence can and will communicate. Emotions carry important messages to help us with our life, relationships, or environment.
Emotions are, in fact, our superpowers and as such, they’ve been scaring all of us for a while. (It's not our weakness that scares us, it's our power)
I am not in the 'don't touch' camp.
I like to get to know whatever exists in my world.
I want to know the hearts and the true nature of these intelligent inner 'servants'.
We, humans, are brave. We are alchemists and we can learn to be with emotions in a way that they turn from enemy to friend.
It surely is not an easy process... emotions can take us off our feet, but by 'falling to the ground' seeds can be planted, and over time, provided with favourable circumstances, fruits of confidence will be yielded.
Remember, you were born for such a time as this! You can do this.
In Truth, Love, Power, Purpose, Peace,
