The Equanimity of Emotions

 All energies, and therefore all emotions, are created equal....

Dr. sue Morter, The Energy Codes, page 134

Those words above remind me of these infamous words I am always quoting: 

Nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so. Hamlet, Act 2, Sene 2

When we attach thinking and story telling to our emotional experiences we create eddies and whirlpools that are hard to get out of. 

...since all emotions are just energies of differing frequencies, none is better than the rest. All serve their unique roles in the universal energy pulse that is expanding and ancjoring- in the natural cycle that we, and all of nature, go through.  The so called posive emotions are efforts to expand, whie the negative emotions are efforts to anchor. pg 134-135

Wow!  I am blown away by the book "The Energy Codes", by Dr. Sue Morter.  Let's just say that it is very, very highlighted and underlined book right now. Yeah.  

It was funny I read the forward for it from Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD last evening and she said in response to first meeting Dr. Sue and listening to what she believed in, "Every once in a great while , I happen upon another life traveler whose experiences and beliefs resonate so boldly with my own that I literally jump up and down and burst into song."

I didn't burst into song when I first heard her on the Andre Duqum podcast but I did jump up and shout out, "Yes! Yes! Yes! I get it!!!"

Then, I approached her teaching as cautiously as I approach any teaching...more than a bit skeptical of the teacher and their true motivation. Then, as I read, I became hit with one aha moment after another! My present perspective is being validated as I read and at the same time I am learning a new perspective. Amazing.

I have lots of little stars on page 134 and 135 where the author discusses the equanimity of emotions and how naming our feelings and emotions keep us in story telling, and how story telling  keeps us in the mind, and therefore not in the body or present moment...and therefore not in a place we can heal.  And I was again on my feet yelling to my cat Lily, who was convinced I was off my rocker..."Yes! Yes! Yes! I get it!"  

I see now how The Energy Code" might be the thing that gets us there, how it relates to the teachings of yoga and other ancient wisdom traditions, but is expressed in a way that the secular personal mind can understand. So cool.

You know how I see teaching as a part of learning? I am envisioning now how I can teach what I am learning from her...how it is another step in undersatnding all I have learned from others. I want to teach this so I can understand better and hopefully others can understand. I see a bunch of macroenabled ppt presentations in my future lol. Of course, any teaching I offer will not infringe copyright lol.  It will be the sharing of the learning this human I call "me" has gained over the years, based on the many, many teachings I was able to pick up...in which Dr. Sue Morter will be given credit for the newest "aha moments" of my learning life. :) So grateful to all teachers who pointed me in the right direction.

So remember this new bit of wisdom shared by Dr. Sue Morter...

If you can stay out of the mind-set of judgment and storytelling, you can set yourself free more rapidly.  pg 134

All is well!
