mark: it is a mistake to believe that "you have an emotion". In
actuality
you are the emotion. Of course, you can go on desiring to live
without "them",
but what that really comes down to is to separate yourself from what
you are.
This very thinking is conflicted, fragmentary, and so the antithesis
to the state
of relaxed enjoyment that is the goal.
rob: yet this very thinking is what we are trained to,
and it's the kind of thinking we condition our children
to do. such separation is considered sane. We often don't
even realize that emotions are something we *are* -- we
seem to imagine they are something we *have*...
hj: If you say: "and yet", aren't you falling into the trap of missing
the fact that this separation is the very nature of our consciousness?
If you underestimate the enemy, what hope is there of solving the
problem?
