Anger Conquers When Unresolved

Emotions need recognition. But not only attention, they also need acceptance as powerful dimensions of who we are. Their influence over who we are. Their influence over who we are capable of becoming is mighty. Respectful attention to and willing acceptance of our emotions, whether fear or anger or jealousy take their sting. We can prevent them from growing larger then they are. Like a child who screams and misbehaves more and more until attention us won, our emotions grow larger and more intense the longer we deny their existence. Our emotions bless us in reality. Emotions enrich our experiences. Emotions are  maps on the road we are traveling. How we feel at any single moment raises the level of our security, how close we are to our higher Divinity, the level of commitment to ourself. On the other hand, when ignored or denied, emotions can immobilize us, even defeat us.
~ my feelings frequent my being always. They guide my behavior. They reflect my attitudes, they hint at my closeness to Divinity.~
