In our session Welmek [[assisted]] me in defining in a much broader sense, this particular term as I had previously [[understood]]. [[Love]] should be [[perceived]] as much more than a mere human [[emotion]]. [[Love]] is a powerful and ever-present [[energy]] [[force]] which upholds and [[surrounds]] us all, and even more importantly, it is contained within our very selves in the [[presence]] of our [[Thought Adjuster]] or spirit fragment. [[Love]] is a form of [[energy]], and as such, can be [[manipulated]] and [[directed]]. It is a [[manifestation]] of [[eternal]] and [[divine]] [[affection]] and is available for each of us to [[experience]] wholly and completely.

The third [[word]], [[feeling]], which I found this particular [[definition]] in my session with Welmek was the [[focus]] for me for much [[thought]]; and it was as Welmek indicated, a [[mind-blowing]] [[experience]]. There is a basic [[distinction]] to be made between what we humans call [[feelings]] and what we call [[emotion]]. In [[fact]], it is this basic distinction which [[clarifies]] much about the [[function]] of the [[spirit fragment]] in its role in our [[ability]] to actually feel [[God]]'s [[love]]. [[Feeling]] is an [[experience]] which originates within ourself. [[Emotion]] originates external to ourself. While this is easy to say, it isn't necessarily easy to [[understand]] and [[appreciate]]. However, the implications of what I just said are significant and I think [[profound]]. For instance, [[emotions]] are the [[reaction]] which we have to external [[events]]. [[Hate]], [[anger]], and [[envy]] are therefore reactions which we have to external [[events]].

They originate outside ourselves. Thus, they are subject to [[control]] by ourselves. Once we [[understand]] that [[emotions]] arise as the [[reaction]] to an external event, such as [[behavior]] of another [[human]] being, we can see how it is that we can learn to [[control]] our reaction and thus begin to [[exercise]] what we had talked about as self-control, because it is we who are deciding whether or not to [[experience]] the emotion or not to experience the emotion. [[Feeling]], on the other hand, originates within our [[Self]], capital S, in our [[spirit fragment]]. Feeling is the [[experience]] of that [[energy]] [[force]] which we call [[love]]. When we [[experience]] that [[energy]] force within ourselves, we call the by-products of that [[feeling]], [[joy]], [[happiness]], contentment, and [[peace]] of [[mind]]. Putting all three of these terms together, in order to [[experience]] the feeling of [[God]]'s [[love]], our [[Self]] must be in [[harmony]]; that is, we must be in [[electro]]-[[chemical]] harmony as well as [[psychologically]] in harmony. Achieving this state of harmony will enable us to [[experience]] this [[feeling]] of [[God]]'s [[love]]. Feeling God's love will result in a [[feeling]] of ourselves physically as well as [[psychologically]] and [[spiritually]]. Feeling [[God]]'s [[love]] in this matter also means that we [[experience]] [[joy]], [[happiness]], contentment, and [[peace]] of mind.
