Buddhism can be confusing..part of acceptance of self is embracing and being negative emotions at times. I think what Buddhists are trying to say is that we are not emotions that cause us suffering, but we surely are positive, uplifting emotions, right? I think that we are essentially emotion, and emotion can be thought of as an energy that is either radiating or absorbing which is always at play.
The thinking mind can only carry ourselves so far. Beingness is a feeling..pure emotion. We're attempting to move to a realm governed by feeling, and we're not gonna think ourselves into that space.
What you've been going through is ongoing with me as well. It suggests movement towards balance.
"42.2 This is an incorrect application of the balancing which we have discussed. The exercise of first experiencing feelings and then consciously discovering their antitheses within the being has as its objective not the smooth flow of feelings both positive and negative while remaining unswayed but rather the objective of becoming unswayed. This is a simpler result and takes much practice, shall we say.
The catalyst of experience works in order for the learn/teachings of this density to occur. However, if there is seen in the being a response, even if it is simply observed, the entity is still using the catalyst for learn/teaching. The end result is that the catalyst is no longer needed. Thus this density is no longer needed. This is not indifference or objectivity but a finely tuned compassion and love which sees all things as love. This seeing elicits no response due to catalytic reactions. Thus the entity is now able to become co-Creator of experiential occurrences. This is the truer balance."
"64.4 The principle behind any ritual of the white magical nature is to so configure the stimuli which reach down into the trunk of mind that this arrangement causes the generation of disciplined and purified emotion or love which then may be both protection and the key to the gateway to intelligent infinity."
