Hello.
Peregrin, I haven't kept up with this thread and recently noticed it.
I will not doubt your statement about being unfeeling; it is estimated (IIRC) that up to 6% of the population is psycho or sociopathic. If there are this many who don't feel emotion like the rest of us, then it's not surprising that one of them would be found here (trivia: integrity and emotional sensitivity I think are barely related. Even an unfeeling person will pick a direction of up or down, IMO). I'm not comparing you to the evil ones or suggesting you are that kind.
I feel similarly about myself. I only really feel slight discomfort if I go against what I believe to be correct, it is likely that I have stronger emotions than you, however. I also believe that I'm far more sensitive to the subtler forms of emotion; I search for the obscure. Surface emotions don't seem to have much meaning or practicality to me since they're closer to the instinctive part than to the analytical part.
I think "unfeelingness" is actually an enormous advantage if you use it right. I believe that, if you are ascending from a position of unfeelingness, you actually have a great advantage because you will be able to put the lower chakras into alignment without the assumptions and deliria that can come from strong emotions. It seems that many die before getting that done and end up starting a new life being emotionally confused from a young age.
