This is an incredibly interesting debate going on. I want to thank all participating and hope that no one is getting too frustrated in expressing their opinions on the matter. Both sides have been helpful for me. I find an ironic twist of humor, seeing the emotional responses discussing the nature of emotions.
In the case of emotional reactions, I have always viewed them as a catalytic mechanism to help balancing. It's a simple technique described by Ra. Throughout the day, I let my emotions flow as freely as possible (of course we have limits in our society). At the end of the day I enter into meditative contemplation. I go through my day in my head, taking note of each emotional reaction, good or bad. I find the emotion, determine whether it is an overactive or blocked chakra, and I work from there. Ra themselves say a balanced individual would not have emotional responses to emotionally charged situations. A balanced STO entity would be able to experience whatever is happening without emotional response, and choose the best way to serve others in the moment with minimal emotional distortion.
I believe the main point Zenmaster is trying to get across is that we, as 3D beings, have a great tool for searching for love within our emotions, but the emotion we describe as love and the actual nature of love are not the same. Indeed as 3D beings, we may only have the emotion to follow. But to me, understanding where emotion comes from as Zen is trying to explain here, is extremely useful for balancing, and thus is extremely useful in fulfilling my service on this planet.
It would be worth noting that, in my opinion, 4D beings are probably not balanced for the most part.
