RE: How I got my shit together
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
A revelation that I got recently: we're emotional creatures at the core. We try to rationalize everything, for some reason we assume that intellect is safer or better than feelings, I guess it's a function of our social programming, especially in the past three hundred years or so, since science overtook any other approaches to thought and experience. But that doesn't deny how our bodies process life, how our memories condition our responses or how empathy (willing or not) defines our communication not just with other people but with other creatures and even places.
It's so important for us to truly and honestly delve into our emotional state, to let it happen. In my recent experience, that's the only way we can find balance and peace.
I don’t know if we have talked about it directly but I’ve always felt something about society that I can only describe as yin and yang in the wrong place. Like both are necessary but somehow they are being channeled in the opposite channels that they natural flow in, and so we are living in bizzaro world.
This may not have always been the case and may be rather recent, since 2000 or 201…2? Hahaha
Before that I guess the masculine was way too prominent.
I suppose we are in the process of switching into the naturally flowing channels which is why everything is so out of wack and confusing now.
I guess your comment makes me question what it really meant when people used to say I was too sensitive 😆 and what you always tell me about experiencing other people’s emotions
