“Your highly evolved teachers have not gotten rid of their emotions, for emotions are part of the human experience. However, their emotions are peaceful and harmonious no matter what is going on around them. They listen to their Higher Self guidance and create harmony and clarity all about them. As you achieve greater levels of mastery, you may still recognize a flash of anger or irritation, but you will learn to process these feelings in an instant, ask what guidance you need to pay attention to, and let them go.
There are many currents of energy going through you in the form of emotions. One is your birth emotion. It is a deep feeling that you have carried throughout your life. Although every cell and atom in your body is different from when you were born, unless you have undergone a major spiritual transformation, you still carry this core feeling with you.
Some of you choose optimism, happiness, or complacency as your main feeling-tone. Others choose an underlying feeling of pessimism, resentment, or disappointment. Some have an easygoing nature; others feel a quiet melancholy, loneliness, or unhappiness. Some people choose love as their main feeling-tone; others choose to be serious or fun-loving. Some choose smug superiority; others choose to feel unworthy and inferior.
Think for a moment about your most prominent feeling. Think of your feelings and if you don’t recognize your most noticeable feeling-tone right now, simply be aware that you have one and ask to know more about it. Besides a prominent feeling-tone you have five to seven satellite emotions that make up your prime emotional identity in this lifetime. What emotions do you feel most often?”
