The mysterious nature of time

[zenmaster]

Ah, thanks for the insight and clarification. I'm going to refer to it still as integrating emotions to myself, with that caveat. I see it as gathering these emotions to myself, to create greater density. In my density, I create with emotional energy. It's not just a response any longer. Emotions to me are Light.

So do we integrate desires?

'Light' is symbolic of consciousness. There is conscious use of the feeling and intuitive faculties which, also providing access to time/space (mind), are in the same realm of the emotional patterning.

By paying attention to desires (and aversions) we become more conscious of them. That is an integration. It is often the case that we are not aware of what we actually desire just as much as that which we actually do not like.

So, one exercise would be simply taking a look at what we like and what we don't like. That single exercise, done consciously and honestly, can accelerate growth many orders of magnitudes over the dependency upon unconscious, random experiential catalyst (work, relationships, etc) to shed light on them.
