Chopra Center Radio Interview with Dr. John Gray 8/11/11
"Negative emotions are a part of the authentic self also. But, they are messages that are starting to tell you that something is off. They are letting you know that your are losing connection with your soul. You are losing your authentic self. its the signal to let you know that something is wrong. So, you can take heed and get back in line with the authentic you. "be good feel good do good"....when we Start to fall off balance and you are believing something that is not true, that is the indicator which is what brings you back into balance. The awareness of negative emotions is always important.
There was the illusion that enlightenment would mean equanimity with no negative emotions. What enlightenment is, is an astute clear aware conscious of negative emotions so you can quickly bring yourself back into balance. Its kind of like walking on a tight rope, if the wind blows even a master will tip, but then he comes right back to balance. The key is to be able to know when your are tipping so you can come back into balance rather than to continue tipping and fall over.
what u can feel u can heal...how do u work through the emotional blocks that keep u from being a loving person. Working through the dark knight of the soul? once you are there people thinks that is it. No, That is the illusion. Now that you are there with consciousness a white screen every unresolved issue from childhood to adulthood begins to come forth. It does not eliminate your suffering it makes you aware of your suffering. Buddha talks abt the first step of enlightenment is higher conscious until you become 1 with the all and from that place you can no longer ignore that is inside….Going to the feelings is not just enough...but going through them and processing them, working through your feelings and reconciling them back to a place of greater insight hope, greater forgiveness, and greater love; Training the self to go through that process and get back to a state of true authenticity is where the treasure truly is.

Then seeing that the things we consider to be a snake is really just a stick. And, its a golden stick. Its a blessing its something that we can gain from."
