The Tao of Emotion is why I write, it's personal. I share from my heart and from my soul the hard won fruits of my own quest.  In my search I have learned that we are nothing without each other, that self knowledge is but a faint echo of what can be gained when that knowledge is shared.

             

We expect life to be hard but it's nearly impossible when it seems to have no purpose.

Something is missing, we sense it, we are uneasy. We dread the unfilled void so we keep busy with work, relationships and addictions in a desperate search for distraction. We give up on our dreams but they haunt us, not for what might have been but for what could be still!      

Ironically it is not that something is missing,  there is in fact far more going on within us than we are aware of. The ancient unconscious mind still dominates our behaviour and therefore our lives through our own emotions. Just watch the news if you doubt it. Surprise surprise, we are not the conscious beings that we fondly believe ourselves to be.

If we are to evolve into consciousness we must embrace our emotions, not supress, ignore or fear them. We must learn to use our emotion as a well spring for self awareness and profound self knowledge. Never mind your eyes, emotion is the true window to your soul but do you have the courage to look though it?

You will find no peace in this life until you explore your own emotions and plumb the depths of your own unconscious. Control it or it will control you. This is the adventure of your life, begin.
