Unfeeling

[Peregrinus]

emotions are tied to the physical body, so this made me think that they are not really required...

My belief is this: an emotion is the body's response to an interpretation held within the mind. Each emotion is the body's preparedness to act in case the belief turns out to be true. The body does not evaluate the mind's interpretations, but instead loves and respects the mind enough to take it literally. The mind can contain multiple, sometimes conflicting interpretations. Therefore, the body can also contain multiple, sometimes conflicting emotions. By mind I refer here to both conscious and subconscious aspects of the individual mind.

As it has been proven by quantum physics that both the mind and the body have their own thoughts that have sway on the other, both are creatures of habit, but only when the mind goes about changing it's thoughts and thus resulting emotions, does the body change its. The mind is indeed master of the body if one decides it so, but this is not the case for so many.

Perhaps at this time, your mind has such a light and gentle release of any interpretations that emerge, that they are not held long enough for the body to develop a response. Perhaps also, the master circuit breaker of this connection has been temporarily disconnected by your higher self for your safety within the current context.

My body has always been under the control of my mind and still is. I can gain/lose weight any time I desire so. I can increase or decrease my heart rate or blood pressure by thinking about it. I can fail to eat or drink without ensuing physical temptation, and sometimes forget to eat two or three meals a day. I listen to the body to the point whereby if it has something important to tell the mind, the mind listens, but aside from that, it is number two in this process.

When it comes to the unfeeling aspect, I am still coming to terms this. I cannot say exactly why I was unfeeling, but it did help me to gain the experience I have gained in this incarnate experience. I am still exploring these new feelings which I have accepted to be natural and part of me, and though I see many of them as being of the feminine nature, I am trying to embrace them. It is difficult though at times... having been one of those men many men envy because I did things, not just talked about it. If I had a nickel for every time some guys said to me "I thought about joining the army, but...", I'd be rich. I've run into many many wannabe's in this world. Me, I'm a hasbeen lol.

I always enjoyed the one part of the movie "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly", when Clint Eastwood (the good bounty hunter) is in the bath and a begrudging man of a deceased brother comes in and catches Clint there, looking to kill him. The brother, holding a gun on Clint, talks up a storm about his brother and Clint shoots him, having held a gun beneath the bath suds. Then Clint says "If your gonna talk, talk. If your gonna shoot, shoot". That pretty well summed up how I have lived this incarnation. (I may be wrong - this might have been the Ugly that said this... been a long time).

Both Thinking and Feeling in Jungian terms are activities of the 3D body/mind complex. Both can be used to increase connection with Spirit. Both can be used to increase separation from Spirit. In 2D, thinking and feeling are spontaneous expressions of the nature of the species. In masters who visit 3D, both thinking and feeling are totally transparent ways that the spiritual essence of the entity is expressed.

Jungian terms... how is the lack of feeling involved in the connection with spirit? I would dare say that it is more feeling based, for intellect does not indispose one to understanding God as well as feeling God does. For my life I have had the set of bias' that the sto wanderer is given, though these were all in logical terms, not emotional. I have always had a strong logical sense of morality, been that white knight, always upheld right, disliked injustice, lies, wrong doing. I always valued honesty, decency, and dignity.

I knocked the front teeth out of a bully when I was three (he was six), and went on to a life of a few hundred playground/bar/street fights. I never chose fights but for two (which I lost), but I always ended them (but for two) by destroying my opponent(s), even to the point of breaking bones and putting many in hospital for extended periods of time. I stood up for the man that could not stand up for himself, or the little guy being picked on by the big guy, or the guy with unfair odds against him, or the woman being treated badly by a man. When no one else would help, I was always very willing to. I could have never been there and done what I did if I had emotions about it. I simply did these things because they were logical. An injustice was being done, and I would have rather gone down swinging than to allow that. There was one point when I swore off violence, but after I allowed two brothers to beat me black and blue without raising a hand to stop them, I swore that would never happen again; better to go down swinging than to not do anything. Again, a motivator to me. I always figured at least they would respect me for hurting them bad, even if they did win (again, which only happened twice... which I believed was due to me being not on the side of good because I had personal involvement). I haven't been in a fight now in many years.

I always been generous in nature, giving away 1/2 of what I have if someone needs or needed it.

Possessions... I never cared about. I have earned several millions and have nought to show for it other than a few things. I have moved and moved and moved, leaving almost everything I owned behind without a care. I think the longest I have ever lived in one place in adulthood (beginning at fifteen) was seven years. I literally have lived my life wandering, a nomad, leaving behind me smiling faces and lighter hearts, many seeking to continue experience with me, but never seeing me again. I have often felt like I was in other's lives to give them a new perspective, to see the possible, and in these conditions I could not be feeling, for if I did feel I would have been restricted. It was always easy for me to break ties. It was necessary.

In our lives now, we see through a glass darkly. Thinking and feeling are the two LCD shutter glasses that blink on and off as we accumulate moments to integrate into a storyline. If one lens is stuck closed, you can still appreciate the show with the other. Seeing with both increases the variety of perspectives available for integration. But the value is in what we do about the storyline, not in how many ways we initially perceive it.

You don't think perception is important? I am not trying to be argumentative, only to offer thought on this. We are here to gain experience, to learn about the self, and the only way to do that is though our perception with the limited six senses. It is these perceptions that steer our direct or indirect thought processes into choosing an action or inaction, and these thoughts are what is recorded in the Akash. Without perception, the storyline means nothing, for it is as a book that no one has read. Am I wrong?

Prayers for your daughter's healing and for your strength and wisdom to assist her.

Thanks for the prayers for my daughter. She will be fine as will we all.
