It adds richness to your life by playing high notes and low notes that are generally appropriate to the events unfolding before you.** ([Location 1701](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1701)) [[Résumé de mon trip champi à Corealis avec Fred]] => Je me demandais si je voulais devenir plus connecté à mes émotions, ma réponse es OUF - As you expand and grow spiritually, your range of comfort with the outside world will become wider and wider, allowing you to handle more of the moments passing before you. The same is true with your heart. As you grow spiritually, through honoring your day-to-day experiences, you will learn to become more comfortable with your heart. As a child, the first time you experienced fear or jealousy you might have been overwhelmed and had difficulty holding yourself together. Over time, you became more accustomed to these emotions and at least tried to deal with them. Perhaps the best you could do at first was control your emotions and put on the outward appearance of being okay. Though that’s not necessarily so healthy, it is better than losing yourself completely and letting emotions overcome you. ([Location 1713](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1713)) - Little by little, as you learn to accept that emotions are a reality of life, they will come and go if you let them. This is spiritual evolution. Just as our bodies have evolved through eons of challenging outer experiences, so our souls evolve through the fires of inner experiences. It is not that a great being does not have emotions; it is that they are at peace with their emotions. They can handle the various changes their heart goes through. ([Location 1720](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1720)) - Let’s say someone does something that makes you feel fear. There are times when fear is a normal, healthy reaction to outer events. But you aren’t able to handle the emotion, so you suppress it to get it out of your consciousness. Later, you hear something bad happened to that person. Instead of feeling compassion, you feel relieved. Your emotions are no longer in harmony with outer situations, instead they are releasing the blocked energies from your past experiences. ([Location 1733](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1733)) - ==Every experience makes you a greater person if you don’t resist it.== ([Location 1740](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1740)) - Though it is true that you don’t want to suppress emotions, you also don’t want them running your life. There is a sacred place between suppression and expression—pure experience. In this state, you are neither suppressing the energy internally nor expressing it externally. You are simply willing to experience the energy coming from your heart and mind. ([Location 1760](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1760)) - A wise person doesn’t renounce the world; they honor the reality that’s unfolding in front of them. Likewise, a wise person doesn’t renounce the use of their mind; they just don’t listen to the personal mind because it’s lost in thoughts about itself. The personal mind is not going to solve your problems. It’s doing the best it can with the limited data it has, but its efforts don’t generally work out so well. ([Location 1792](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1792)) - To experience your spiritual heart, you must learn to rise above your personal heart. The personal heart is very strong and very emotional. It’s not easy to pierce through the personal heart, but it is possible. First, check to see if your heart’s expressions are based on current reality or the thoughts in your mind. Thoughts of what went wrong in the past, and what might go wrong in the future, create emotions that are out of tune with reality. ([Location 1801](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1801)) - If your emotions are in harmony with the reality unfolding before you, they are generally healthy and support the quality of your life. When both your heart and mind are in harmony with reality, energies don’t release outwardly because nothing is blocking them. The power of these unblocked energies passing through the lower heart can then be utilized to rise into the higher parts of the heart. Because you are neither suppressing nor expressing, the deeper spiritual states begin to unfold. ([Location 1806](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1806))
