Passion - why and how to use it
Life is full of different emotions. Each of us experiences the same emotion to different intensities. We can be happy that our egg is cooked the way we like it. We can be happy that we won a million dollars in the
lottery. In both cases we’re happy. The difference is the degree of happiness. It’s the same with all our emotions; we experience them to different degrees. To make life work you will have to be passionate about
something. In some way that is not understood, when you are passionate you connect with the power of the universe, God, or the universal force, or the infinite power. The order of events is: experience on the
conscious level, emotions on the subconscious level and results from the supraconscious. As an example, “I pray for a healthy body.” is different from quieting yourself and then praying and really feel your prayer,
“I am healthy”. The first prayer is casual. The second prayer is causal. One prayer is likely to have no effect - the effect that it had on you when you said it. The other prayer is going to put in place the
mechanics of realization or change.
Emotion, deep emotion is another way that you can validate for you - your different selves. Have you ever been watching a movie or been to a performance of a close friend or family member and all of a sudden you had
tears in your eyes? They may have been tears of sadness or tears of joy. Your conscious experience was interpreted by your subconscious in a way that perhaps surprised you. This is the very level of experience that
one can learn to tap into and use for changing ourselves and the world around us.
Try this:
Monitor the use of your emotional energy. Limit the amount of emotion you put into the way things are, especially if you don’t like it. Add emotional energy to the way you want things to be. There is war, famine, and
crime in the world. No one likes it. Don’t let your mind dwell on things you don’t like. Choose to change your thoughts and what you dwell on to solutions. Wish for world peace and prosperity. Get emotional about
it. Feel the joy of peace not the dread of war. Emotional energy is a contact with your selves.
