Yesterday i went very emotional for a lot of reasons.A song i really like,starts to play in my head. It was a song praising the night..
When the night covered the sky,i felt strong emotions of love.. I went out for a walk,feeling high,and ready to burst in tears, due to this intense feeling of love.. Today i tried again but it didnt worked... I need to connect with my emotional body but it takes a lot of energy...
Sometimes i do things without knowing the mechanism behind them,and the whole thing reveals to me even after years.
I was advised by a contact not to try to manipulate things, cause the ego will ruin it..
Anyway...
Another beautiful experience to my diary..
This is what a human being wants.
To feel love,to feel secured, balanced,to enjoy things etc...
Maybe thats what we are all after for..
To experience what we like via emotions..
Without emotions there is no joy...
But there is a price.. Emotions are draining your energies.. It feels fantastic to experience love on the emotional level,but it changes the chemical processes of the body.. Almost the same like drugs.

My personal belief is God loves us and we're discovering or, in some instances, remembering what that Love and Joy feels like.
I think love can connect you with everything. It's a strong link.
If i had to choose between this feeling or having my problems solved,most likely i would choose the first one.
Is it the right thing to do?
Propably not.
Emotions are somehow illusions.They cannot last forever. They are the chemical reactions of our interactions with other influences..
Yet,they are strong enough to manipulate our minds..
I think balance is the key to everything.Even a little dose of evil is necessary for our being,when the time is right.
I believe people are doing a mistake,trying to hold from the positive pole of things.Anything that creates imbalance,is unhealthy for a human being..
That's right dron. A great saint described gods love as ever new bliss. There are different types of emotions, and different types of love. But Gods love is constant, it's we who must want it and recognize it...
Excerpts by yogananda:
" Beyond the state of peace there is an ever new state of bliss, which the individual can find within himself and recognize as the true native state of his soul. This bliss is buried beneath the exciting mental waves of exuberant pleasure and deep depression and the hollows of indifference. When these waves disappear from the mental waters, the placid state of peace is felt. Reflected in the calm waters of peace is the ever new bliss. "
" Stop dreaming that you are just an ordinary mortal, constantly going through mental ups and downs. No matter what happens, remember always that you are made in the true image of Spirit. "
I do not think evil is necessary, but I understand what you're saying. I believe you are saying that it's not healthy to ignore negative polarity, and that sometimes a (perceived) negative event serves a higher purpose. In many cases, I view this life as an opportunity. I have had things directed at me that, although terrible in nature, have immediately redirected my compass Godward.
My Sufi teacher says what one calls evil another calls good. In many parts of the world, stealing is considered an evil act. Some countries punish offenders by cutting off their hand. But what if you are a child stealing out of desperation to feed your sickly mother?
My Sufi teacher/friend says there is no such thing as good and evil. That which is beautiful, we call good and that which is ugly compared to the beautiful- we call evil.

You don't have to agree with what I'm sharing, maybe it will make more sense at a later time.
Duality has its purpose, and what you are saying- to me, is more in line with understanding truth behind duality. It isn't just emotions that vary in degree, but it is also our spiritual evolution. Those who go on committing what may be perceived as evil do not enjoy evil being committed unto them. So it would seem they have become numb to their own actions, but still desire some type of goodness.
I don't believe any person is born evil, I believe goodness exist in all hearts.
Ultimately, I believe God does have a plan and we are all a part of Gods creation. I believe that plan is to Know God.
I do not see my self at war with the body chemistry moving through me, spurning my desires and sending me down these windy roads. I see this as a divine relationship. I do believe I am learning about natural law- and I believe our understanding of natural law, as a collective, has us swimming in the shallow end of the pool. There are depths to this understanding that would appear as if we are performing miracles- and still it is more desirable to know God than to perform any wonder-making. Although we may(at times) feel estranged from nature- we are here to learn, she is a living Spirit and her ways are the holiest of manuscripts. Understanding duality, and then understanding the undercurrent behind duality opens us up to a greater degree of Love.
It's good you can toss the rest out with the bathwater
I was reading Paper 3 today and this part reminded me of our discussions in this thread and another asking if God punishes people-
Reading this made me even more joyful for the wedding of Spiritual and Material. Here I see our planet and the laws of nature as a personality- and I believe I chose to be here. I also believe God and the personality of this planet share a beautiful intimacy.
The uncertainties of life and the vicissitudes of existence do not in any manner contradict the concept of the universal sovereignty of God. All evolutionary creature life is beset by certain inevitabilities. Consider the following:
3:5.6 (51.5)1. Is courage—strength of character—desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments.
3:5.7 (51.6)2. Is altruism—service of one’s fellows—desirable? Then must life experience provide for encountering situations of social inequality.
3:5.8 (51.7)3. Is hope—the grandeur of trust—desirable? Then human existence must constantly be confronted with insecurities and recurrent uncertainties.
3:5.9 (51.8)4. Is faith—the supreme assertion of human thought—desirable? Then must the mind of man find itself in that troublesome predicament where it ever knows less than it can believe.
3:5.10 (51.9)5. Is the love of truth and the willingness to go wherever it leads, desirable? Then must man grow up in a world where error is present and falsehood always possible.
3:5.11 (51.10)6. Is idealism—the approaching concept of the divine—desirable? Then must man struggle in an environment of relative goodness and beauty, surroundings stimulative of the irrepressible reach for better things.
3:5.12 (51.11)7. Is loyalty—devotion to highest duty—desirable? Then must man carry on amid the possibilities of betrayal and desertion. The valor of devotion to duty consists in the implied danger of default.
3:5.13 (51.12)8. Is unselfishness—the spirit of self-forgetfulness—desirable? Then must mortal man live face to face with the incessant clamoring of an inescapable self for recognition and honor. Man could not dynamically choose the divine life if there were no self-life to forsake. Man could never lay saving hold on righteousness if there were no potential evil to exalt and differentiate the good by contrast.
3:5.14 (51.13)9. Is pleasure—the satisfaction of happiness—desirable? Then must man live in a world where the alternative of pain and the likelihood of suffering are ever-present experiential possibilities.
A few additional thoughts I gathered- when thinking of your post... Not only do I love the Night I love the Day! My old alias used to be, "daemoon" a play on words... But because I especially loved seeing a full moon in the middle of the day~
And I feel like being born here is the perfect place to develop and grow closer to God. I really do believe God is in control and when we think things are unjust or unfair- it's not that someone as my self is ignoring the plights that face us and am being unrealistic, but I think if we've become hardened by these things- cold or callous than we've forgotten the deeper meaning of our existence(which... in my personal opinion... again... is to know God).
There's so much Joy behind the reality- my Spirit is doing a nanner dance
@happyrain
I used to read books in the past.Now reading is not my thing.i feel tired even by reading long posts..
If it's a practical one,most likely i will jump straight to the teqnique and that's all...
In the past i was reading various books about mantras,mudras,what they do etc...
It was working.. Same way as the books were describing...
Slowly i started to realize what's going on,and what i was doing...
For example i was reading that the mantra LAM is triggering the base chakra, etc...
Then i was doing the mantra,and it was indeed doing that...
Ok. Cool.
Yes, but what would happen if knew that LAM is triggering the solar plexus?
Even if it was wrong as an info,the mantra for me would activate the solar plexus...
Therefore was all about triggers..
I remember a guy posting at forums that he found a musical tone that opens the heart chakra(you tube),and he shared the link with others...
Of course it didnt worked for anyone the same way...
What really happened, wasnt the musical tone it self that was doing the job,but his ability to instruct his mind that this,does that..
Of course if it was a shape,or a drawing, the result would be the same..
I don't have a personal experience,so i will quote from Lobsang Rampa teacings, simply because i resonate with almost 90% of what he writes in his books..
