the emotional treasure

 I want to tell something from my own life, which has really been a revelation to me, handed to me by a fellow man. I was in a period when I needed spiritual help, not because I was in big need but because I really needed a professional person to watch with me, objectively. In a certain conversation with him, he said to me: "what you suffer from is the colourfulness of your emotional life".

That hit like a bomb. Suddenly I understood that I was struggling with certain feelings, and that those feelings were allowed to be there, in fact they were part of my entire inner emotional life, colourful and powerful, from the brightest blue to the grayest black. Suddenly I started practicing saying yes to all my feelings, all, no matter what. What a revelation, what a liberation, what happiness to try to live such an insight. I am curious, My God, what You want to say about this.

Dear boy, now you don't mow the grass from under my feet, because it is a nice start.

Saying yes to all feelings inside, no matter how strong, how negative or how destructive, all feelings are allowed to be there. And then everyone knows that you don't have to do something with all your feelings, otherwise it would be murder and manslaughter at the supermarket. That's one thing.

Another important thing from the spiritual perspective is, let the emotions flow, let them flourish, leave them alone, and don't run away with them too much with your mind, let them, let them, let them, let them, otherwise they will become ugly/cloudy and maybe even sentimental. And that is of no use to you.

 And another important thing is this. Behind the most horrible negative destructive emotions are other pure and loving emotions, such as wanting to be comforted, being hurt, suffering from the life of yourself and the other. But those big, human and beautiful emotions only come to the fore visibly when the emotions are looked at with acceptance. Suppressing, magnifying, attaching yourself to them, blowing them up, all that is counterproductive. Look behind the scenes of the worst emotions and discover love and beauty and compassion for man.

 Finally, it would be nice if man found the middle between two extremes: a rational attitude that suppresses and despises emotions and an emotional attitude that revels in emotions and drowns in them.

 The emotional treasure is accessible, available and workable for everyone and that is dealing with your inner emotional life with love and acceptance, as you deal with your children, your hobbies or your loved one.

If you know of the spiritual world, you should never become a pessimist yourself

Those who are privileged to have a knowledge of spiritual realities should never allow any kind of degree of pessimism to effect a lodgement within their beings. The power of the spirit is greater than any force that humans can command. Man can delay; man can hinder; man can impede. But he cannot prevent the descent of the mighty power of the spirit to fulfil its ordained plan*

My God, would You like to comment on this quote from Silver Birch

It is true My son but pay attention to 'a lodgement within their beings' otherwise it is not realistic. After all, we prefer that man says yes to all negative emotions because they deserve a place in human consciousness and also give a lot of information about man himself, his life and his lessons. But Silver Birch therefore mentions ‘a lodgement within their beings' . You may be pessimistic, but for a moment: do not really believe this emotion, this thought, this state of life, this attitude to life, do not attach yourself to it, do not make it a stayer.  

The basic attitude, the basic belief, the fundamental thought, the perspective is: you are carried in love, you are guided in love and cherished in love, even when the most terrible things happen to you. God is ready to help you immediately, to guide you permanently and to heal you when it’s time. So you may have pessimistic feelings only temporarily, don't let them wrap you up, don’t believe them.

The spirit of Silver Birch is blessed.

My blessings to you all

When nothing goes right…..go left (Profound sayings, 3)

My God, would You like to comment on this?

When things do not go well in life, an understandable reaction will be to flee in comforting addictions or to swallow in the negative feelings one has. People do this at the beginning of their path of development.

Wise people, who are a little further, do nothing and undergo everything and wait until better times will come.

There are situations where a fourth way can offer a nice alternative.

That is doing something completely different.

Stepping out of your old pattern, trying something new, stopping being a victim and showing life that life cannot humiliate you, showing unexpected powers, in short trying something completely different. It can help.

And those who try to do so show God that they have a will, that they do not want to be a victim, that they have hope and then one will be helped more than before. We love weak brothers and accept a person's level of development, but We also appreciate the strong fellow man who tries the fourth way. It will bring him / her a lot. It is irrelevant here who has the highest level of development, this person or the wise man.

All those negative emotions too!

My God, the last days I have been muddling along through a combination of bad weather, my work and busy stuff and lots of people around me with problems. I mean to say that I am wallowing in all my negative emotions, that I'm struggling with them and actually just want to get rid of them. I want a simple and innocent and problem-free life. Period. And so I went looking for a list that I had somewhere, a list of all negative emotions that a person can experience in the course of his life.

I'll mention them just for sure:

"Fear, resistance, doubt, panic, anger, irritation, worrying, greed, unrest, loneliness, aggression, aimlessness, despondency, pride, superiority, inferiority, insecurity, disappointment, passivity, laziness, indifference, boredom, depression, fickleness, lying, indolence, voracity, greed, fatigue, jealousy, etc. ".

Reason is actually a conversation in the shower that I had with You in which you expressed very clearly, that I still had one big life problem to solve, all others were secondary and not important. That is, lovingly dealing with my negative emotions. Only when I welcomed and cherished and accepted and understood them all, I would make the next spiritual step. Only when I felt that they were entitled to existence, that they had something to say to me. Because they were information carriers for life. I struggled with them unnecessarily and thereby suppressed them. And so they were forced to grow and they only would lead to, for example, enlargement, or they went “in the underground” with psychosomatics such as earache, muscle pain, colds and so on.

Well I will try again, and then of course I said to You: "oh my God, how hard I am, you are right of course.

My son, we are just four years later, earlier We made together a nice connection with how you deal with the weather in the Netherlands. Whether you have heat, or storm, hard rain or cold, everything is good, everything has its value, everything is useful or is just there and you will not suppress your fun in life for it at all.

and http://watchthegod-english.blogspot.com/2017/02/the-emotional-life-simplicity-2.html
 

You then took a decision to try that with your negative emotions and in the meantime you have really practiced. You have become more loving, you have become calmer, you have become more quiet in your inner self, you have become more open, you accept everything more than before.

Go on with it gradually. And do not think that because you are having a heavy time, that everything is for nothing, that you have not learned anything. That is not true and these thoughts are only false beliefs of your ego. Just go on, take another deep breath, remember everything that you have achieved, read those blogs again.

And continue happily with handling lovingly your negative emotions.

And I would like to respond to the latter: in Our eyes negative emotions are not negative. We see the great value, what they have to offer, how important they are, how they can change, what an information carriers they are. We often feed them when you pray for relief from them, because they regularly bring you where you need to go, through “the mountain of rice-pudding” into the light.
Welcome them, accept them, cherish them, go talk to them, they often dissolve faster than when you struggle with them.

My blessings to you all

Matter is a reliable friend

I've experienced a few times something I'm actually a little surprised about.
I feel for some reason not very well, have a moderate day or I'm a bit stodgy and then I suddenly realize everything around me will just go on, despite my negative emotions.

My home is waiting for me, my body will continue doing his job, nature will be just there, in short, I realize what a comfort it is the material world is there. What a hold and what a haven that everything on it will continue with doing it’s thing. And that everything is more stable than my poor mind.

I'm in fact raised in the traditional faith, but many New Age movements seem to suggest the same, man is a spiritual being, and really does not belong here, after your death heaven is awaiting you and this all is a vale of tears.

But having such an experience actually it’s another way around.
Would You like to comment on this?

My son, the material world is friend of mankind.

If We consider even all trouble on earth and all people who are struggling with life the material world is

• your cradle
• your hold
• your haven
• your comfort
• your reliable partner
• your nest
• your base
• your rest.

Whatever your feelings are, how bad your experience will be, how great the suffering will be, the material world will continue her work and her servitude.
Yes servitude, for the world, mother earth, the spiritual leader of the world, the spiritual world, all are working in servitude for the creatures of the earth.
And they will not stop, no matter what event whatsoever.
You can find your comfort in this consciousness, in this understanding, in this situation.

Because all spiritual beings, assisting in maintaining the material world and supporting the creatures on it, do so with three motives, the motive of pleasure for work, the motive of servitude to the evolution and the biggest motive, the motive of love.

Be blessed with your experience.

Stopping with the struggle

My God, last week I really had a bad day.
I was tired, suffered from worrying about my work, I was really depressed and actually despondent. I felt bad.
I walked in a forest and did not really see how beautiful everything was: it had just rained, the earth was fragrant, everything was so green. And since there was no wind all got an almost heavenly atmosphere. And those beautiful old beech trees, which I passed.
I saw everything, but I just felt totally bad.

Suddenly I realized I was really into my emotions, and I was not treating them very nicely. And You had just before given me the blog "Emotions are some".

So I actually got scared and grumbled to myself: “Putting pretty good texts on the Internet and for yourself not listening to them at all, what a guy you are”.
I said to You: "Sorry, My God, maybe I can make an effort with Your help?"
You said, "Please, My son."

I looked at my depression and said, "You may be here, I thank you, because you are bringing me so much: understanding for others who are struggling, I take some rest, you let me feel not everything in life has to be okay, that all successes are not self-evident".

And I remembered those who are always depressed, while I am occasionally depressed. Depression dispenses her presence, as much as I can have.
And I felt how my depression got a place in my being and became surrounded by a soft, golden covering and if it suddenly became good and bearable to experience.

I looked at my fatigue and said, "Why should you not be here? Aren’t you having a reason for your presence in my life? You just show me I have done too much and I have asked too much from my body and my mind. I thank you you're here. You are calling a halt to me, you are asking me to take some rest, that’s all”.

And suddenly I literally felt so much love for my fatigue, as if God looked at me in this manner.

So I look indeed at you, My son, with much more love than you are experiencing now.

And it was as if my fatigue became surrounded by a soft, golden covering and if it was suddenly well, just being there.

So I examined emotion to emotion, peacefully and lovingly.

And gradually, something changed in my being. I did not feel anymore as if I was lying on my back, and as if I was burdened with negative emotions, not being able to move.
I now had the sensation I was literally standing right up in my own shoes, and that all negative emotions had gotten an own place in my being and suddenly I felt so much love for all those emotions, for myself, for life. And I said to God: "It's Your love I am feeling now, isn’t it, not mine?".

It's My love you are feeling, and this love is always at your disposal, day and night, and know that you're in this love very close to Me, because of the way you are looking now at your so called negative emotions.

And certainly for three days I lived in a world of space and peace and love and welcomed all negative emotions and looked forward to the tough days sure to come.

And then I lost everything again, and became swallowed up by even more violent emotions, which drew me even further from home and God, and I realized I still had a long way to go.

But I also knew what was possible in my life with the love of God.

I thank you God for everything.

Be blessed.

My blessings to you all
