Surface Emotions: One or more of our basic senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste) is engaged in some way and we have some physical and/or mental, unconscious, subconscious, conscious, mild, moderate, strong or very strong response or reaction to that engagement. Or we think about or dwell on something from the past or our thoughts are the result of constant projecting into the future and then the resulting energy that is created from either or both of these exercises. Or we have a story or multiple stories (such as “I am not worthy of love” or “People cannot be trusted”) that forms the backbone of what we view as our identity and the energy that is created from that enterprise. These are the main experiences that account for the reality of surface emotions.
Deeper Emotional States: Deeper emotional states are also possible. In reality these are not emotional states at all but rather, states of being. It occurs to me that a lot of people probably only experience brief glimpses of these deeper states during their lifetime. My life’s work and the work of anyone who is truly dedicated to increasing the spiritual awareness and aptitude of people living today; is to invite the world into more frequent connection with these deeper emotional states of being.
Some of the deeper emotional states have linguistic identical twins in the world of surface emotions. Some examples are “love,” “happiness” and “contentment.” These words can be used to describe both certain surface emotions as well as certain deeper emotional states of being. The words ma be the same. The experience of them however, is vastly different depending on whether they are spoken from a place of Presence or not.
None of the surface emotions that we could call negative such as “pain” or “sadness” have a similar or correlate deeper state of being. That is because at this place and state of Being the duality we refer to and experience in the world of form as the positive/negative dyad, evaporates completely. And that is because deep states of being are essentially states of consciousness and ultimately they are a state of Presence. Presence is a divine like state. With Presence comes the experience of what we might call positive awareness kissing what we might call negative energy and saying “And with this kiss all your pain and sadness is released. Your truth has been unlocked. We are now one. Welcome Home!"
