Re: Rage and Sex and Playing With Fire

Alan,

I apologize to everyone in this group for this, but it must be addressed

as alan's statement can be damaging to those who believe what he has to

say.

I have heard your opinions before from others of your beliefs. I do not

believe what I teach. I know what I teach. I do not teach what I have

read in some book or was told by some teacher or religion. My teachings

come directly from spirit and has for decades. I first test it in my own

life and the lives of those people around me before I teach it. Many of

the old teachers taught what they wanted to be true because they were

afraid of their emotions and afraid of being fully dynamic and powerful

humans. Some also taught what they did to keep the people around them

from being empowered, which is what one does when they rob them of their

power of emotional expression. Emotions are energy in motion and the

body functions by the energy being in motion, called prana.

THERE ARE NO NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, ONLY PEOPLE WHO JUDGE EMOTIONS TO BE

WRONG OR BAD OR NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE. ALL EMOTIONS ARE BENEFICIAL AND

HAVE A PURPOSE IN THE HUMAN ORGANISM. TO BE BLUNT AND TO THE POINT. IT

IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WHO TEACH THE SUPPRESSION OF EMOTIONS (WHICH ARE

NATURAL IN THE HUMAN ORGANISM) THAT ARE DANGEROUS AND HAVE CAUSED PEOPLE

PAIN AND SUFFERING IN THIS WORLD.

If I thought you would be receptive, I would explain further, but I feel

you are set in your ways, invested heavily in many years of teachings

that supported your way of life, a life of avoidance of emotions for the

purpose of peace.

If you have an emotion and do not express it, it is still an emotion and

still causes a karmic effect. The effect is just caused within your

body.

Sorry list. I can't let this one slip by.

If it's just a game by old deluded leaders who were really interesting in their

own power, then how do you explain the following article?

Where is the suppression of those Buddhist's emotions. They have managed to

break free of negative emotions. They don't embrace the rage.

Maybe they do really know something.

Something that has been worked out over thousands of years by hundreds of

thousands of millions of people, rather than by an individual who figured it all

out by himself for the first time in human history and then checked with his

friends.

Personally, I would trust the Buddhist (2600 years-old) and Hindu (possibly 3700

years-old) traditions, because they have had generation after generation to work

this out. They are certainly not into disempowering people.

This list is also centred around the work of Louise Hay and she doesn't spout

any of the stuff you do. Not one word. Not even a hint. In fact, it is quite the

opposite.

Read through her New Thought Patterns in 'You Can Heal Your Life' and you won't

find any mention of embracing rage or saying 'I hate you' when making love.

Her message is all about filling our hearts and minds with love, joy, feeling

safe and supported, forgiving and releasing the past etc. etc.

It is certainly not about getting angry at those who have hurt us in the past

and swinging a bat at their images.

Now if you think I am simply a trained parrot who is simply spouting dogma I

have learned by rote, then please think again. I have lived this.

I am not dangerous. You are. Hate is a real emotion. As is jealousy and anger

and fear and rage. Contrary to what you preach.

Negative emotions are real and they have no benefit whatsoever. Unless you

consider death and disease a benefit.

I will repeat this: NEGATIVE EMOTIONS ARE REAL AND THEY HAVE NO BENEFIT

WHATSOEVER. And are in fact extremely corrosive. They are the cause of all

disease and illness. If you don't believe me, then read Louise Hay's books.

Please.

Whoops, silly me. I forget. She's just being power-hungry and trying to

disempower us.

As are all the others. Christ included.

Except of course you, because you don't 'believe,' you 'know.' And you are here

to tell us all of the others were wrong or deluded.

Get real.

BRAIN SCANS SHOW BUDDHISM WORKS

LONDON-Buddhists really are happy, calm and serene people - at least according

to their brain scans.

Using new scanning techniques, neuroscientists have discovered that certain

areas of the brain light up constantly in Buddhists, which indicates positive

emotions and good moods. This can happen even when they are not meditating.

" We can now hypothesize with some confidence that those apparently happy, calm

Buddhist souls one regularly comes across in places such as Dharamsala, India,

really are happy, " Owen Flanagan, professor of philosophy at Duke University in

North Carolina, said this week.

Dharamsala is the home base of exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama.

The scanning studies by scientists at the University of Wisconsin at Madison

showed activity in the left prefrontal lobes of experienced Buddhist

practitioners.

The area is linked to positive emotions, self-control and temperament.

Other research by Ekman, of the University of California San Francisco

Medical Center, suggests that meditation and mindfulness can tame the amygdala,

an almond-sized brain structure that has long been linked with a person's mental

and emotional state.

Ekman discovered that experienced Buddhists were less likely to be as shocked,

flustered, surprised or angry as other people.

Flanagan believes that if the findings of the studies can be confirmed, they

could be of major importance.

" The most reasonable hypothesis is that there is something about conscientious

Buddhist practice that results in the kind of happiness we all seek, " Flanagan

said in a report in the latest edition of New Scientist magazine.
