You’re angry!
Raging and fuming, you make every mistake imaginable. You damage your own health and destroy your own relationships, but you can’t stop. The emotion is simply too strong.
Then as the emotion settles a little, your intellect kicks in and offers some advice:
“With my help, you can contain your anger behind a fence and control it! Every time it rises, remember how much damage it causes you, and it will stop.”
But anger is like a raging fire. You can fence it in for a while, but without water to put it out, it will eventually break through and burn everything good in its path.
Many people know exactly how much damage their anger causes, and still it comes back, again and again.
Why?
Because in most people, emotions run the inner world. All the intellect can do is argue with them and try to neutralize them, but logic is often no match for a fire.
Most of the therapy world also deals only with these two players.
When you struggle with emotional issues, the therapist usually uses the intellect to help you become aware of their root cause.
But be honest: does intellectual awareness of your emotional issues — what you went through in childhood, or even in past lives — actually free you from them completely?
Now let’s replace anger with fear.
You’re afraid!
Terrified and frozen, you make every mistake imaginable:
You ruin your own health and set yourself up for failure in every area of your life.
You hear the voices telling you, “You’re worthless!” “You can’t do it!” “It’s too late for you!” — and you can’t stop the fear.
The emotion is simply too strong.
But you are not the only one who lives with this paralyzing, overwhelming fear.
Fear makes it easy to manipulate entire populations, which is why it is used so often.
Fear is also one of the root causes of addiction, through which people attempt to soothe their pain (with food) or numb it (with drugs).
Here the intellect can offer positive thinking, repeating mantras about a “positive reality” (autosuggestion), or even listening to a religious preacher who brainwashes his followers.
It may help for a short while, but then the fear returns and draws one big X across every small step of progress you managed to make.
It is incredibly frustrating, and sometimes it seems there is no way out of these emotional dramas.
But there is a power in our inner world that can put out the fire of anger and, in an instant, thaw the fear that paralyzes us!
It is a power most of us do not know: our spirit!
When the spirit becomes active, our entire inner world changes, and with it, our outer world.
That is why, when we begin to develop spiritual consciousness, emotions and intellect stop running our lives and become only what they were truly meant to be: servants and tools, according to the Plan of Creation.
This path is a true revolution: the Spiritual Consciousness Revolution!
