Emotion

What is emotion? Is it an indication of a sensitive person? Does emotion come from the heart? One is always looking for fulfillment. One feels incomplete, so one tries to find that special something that will bring peace and love into ones life. One primarily seeks this fulfillment through relationship with another individual (s). Some may seek a religious experience that one believes will fulfill ones longing. The complexity of understanding this need for fulfillment lies in the consciousness of ones accumulated mind. It is a product of ones genetic code and of ones life experience. As a species humans have a genetic marker that is controlled by hormones. These hormones drive one to seek out a mate for the purposes of pro-creation. It is an energy that transcends human logic. One can understand the mechanics, but mind is incapable of realizing the core event. It is because this event is not a material object that can be observed. It is pure energy. One can only observe the results of that energy, one cannot "know" directly the source of all that is. It is beyond knowing, mind cannot tap into it. There is no mathematical equation that can probe its depths.

Emotion is a complex reaction to the problems that one encounters in life. The mind creates a projected image of that which is desired. It is enhanced by chemical reactions in the body that are a direct result of the brains pre-programing. Contrary to belief emotion is not grounded in the heart, it is grounded in the mind, in thought. Thought is the seeking and when what is sought does not materialize as projected there is emotion. Emotion is the seeking of a release of chemical reactions taking place in the body. The body is out of balance when the chemistry (energy) is pent up and seeking release.

One may realize that all the reactions of our bodies both the physical and the psychological are a result of the minds perception. The mind triggers all that takes place in the body and in the psyche. One may see that ones life is controlled by the mind that is projecting the ideal which is supported by ones physical needs. When the mind is quiet and not seeking then there is no projection. There is a stability in ones consciousness. The pure energy that is within and without exist freely without the disruptive influence of thought. That energy is channeled into an understanding that transcends self. But it cannot be an activity of thought. One cannot channel it as a method or activity of self. It is realization that is a non-movement. It may be realized or it may not, there is nothing that one can do to assist in its realization. As one has said, one can only be aware timelessly. Awareness brings an understanding of self that lays the foundation for the illumination of what is.

When one is totally aware in the moment, then one cannot be touched by the disruptive. It is as though one is everything and nothing in that moment. One is completely aware of all that is happening within and without. One is aware of the mind that is projecting, of thoughts that are arising, and though that awareness there is a dissipation of minds illusion of self. One has a clear understanding of all relationship, understanding that transcends the self. There is no emotion because ones being is in balance. When there is no emotion there is the truth of love that is not a projected condition of the self. Love that is of the heart, which is absent the motivations of the self.
