Activating the Power of Love
Page: 2/5

Other Kinds of Emotions
Since the purpose of life is to express love, how can we explain the appearance of various shifting emotions such as anger, sadness, jealousy, contempt, anxiety, resentment, frustration, and a sense of failure? Feelings like these take shape when the original flow of love is in some way altered or interfered with. This can occur when we allow external factors to act upon our minds. All our emotions, whether good or bad, positive or negative, passive or aggressive, come into being when, in response to some external cause or influence, we convert our fundamental life-energy of love to a different form.
When we do not clearly know this principle, and do not realize that our original life-energy consists of love, our response to external factors and conditions ends up being directed by our physical, self-protective instincts. To avoid being hurt by the events and conditions in the world around us, we unconsciously direct our essential life-energy of love into a variety of emotions.
Through long-term repetition, this has become a deeply-rooted habit. We do it automatically, without exerting any conscious control. Again and again, our crystal clear, essential life-energy of love is transformed into waves of suspicion and fear, anger and struggle, before we are aware of what is happening. What this means is that, to a great degree, we have relinquished control over our own thoughts and emotions. Instead of freely directing the course of our lives, we let our emotions race this way and that, as dictated by our materially oriented, self-protective instincts.
Up to now, we may have been thinking of our physical, self-protective instincts as helpful and necessary. In the case of most animals, this is absolutely true. Without their self-protective instincts, every animal species would have vanished from the Earth long ago. For human beings, however, giving free rein to those physical instincts is very dangerous. This is because those instinctive workings become mingled with our creative capacities and the boundless desires of the ego. Unless we human beings gain control over our physical, self-protective instincts, this planet will inevitably be destroyed, whether through wars, catastrophes, or environmental deterioration.
If we wish to accomplish our true purpose in life, we need to consciously take charge of how we use our life-energy. From now on, we must steadily maintain our original energy of love, and create only bright and positive emotions. When we become able to unwaveringly manifest love at any and all times, none of our energy will be consumed by doubt or fear. All of it will be properly activated through the workings of our natural, creative power. This means that all our energy will be directed toward the positive, and whatever we hope and wish for will naturally be achieved. This is an absolute truth, a natural law of creation. If we are not achieving our true, heart’s desire now, it is because the negative energy of our doubts and fears is disrupting the flow of our future.
