TOMAS: I [[trust]] you are not asking me to give the same lesson?

TOMAS: I [[trust]] you are not asking me to give the same lesson?

PamElla: Tomas, we have a nod [a yes nod]. I am sure we will all look forward to [[reading]] that further and [[thinking]] in depth about what you lave had to say. May I ask a question now?

When you are speaking of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everglades everglades], you are comparing it to our [[emotions]] in terms of the [[extreme]] ranges of -- I am not very good with the [[English]] language unless I am feeling [[inspired]], and I am not, so I will resort to words like stuff.  But basically within our [[emotions]] there are great ranges from deep [[despair]] to overwhelming [[joy]] and all sorts of emotions in between. In the everglades there are vast ranges from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamp swamps] that can suck us under to the most [[beautiful]] [[ethereal]] things (I have never been there so I can't even [[imagine]]) that just lift the [[spirit]] and make it soar. Is that what you were saying when you used the word everglades? Did I [[understand]] that properly?

TOMAS: And, too, the realm of [[emotion]] is compared to an everglade as being a [[natural]] place, unfettered with freeways and other indications of [[civilization]], if you will. The [[natural]] terrain is also part of the [[analogy]], for emotions are raw, real, and range, yes, full [[spectrum]]. It seemed a better analogy than, well, let me not be specific. I have finished.

If you [[feel]] [[love]] or [[joy]], your [[manifestation]] generates those [[energies]] that have an [[effect]] upon your [[environment]]. If you feel disgruntlement and distress and [[frustration]] to the point of [[anger]], if you feel insecure in your [[relationship]] you may manifest emotions of [[jealousy]], [[anger]] and the like. Those emittings of your [[feelings]] affect your environment. If you maintain a feeling within yourself, in your own [[microcosm]], it will be expressed one way or another. In this internalized place you may mull over your feelings as to why you feel this way, what prompted it, what are the conditions which set it up, the possible [[effects]], outcomes, etc., and acted upon either irrationally or [[sublimely]] or many variations in between.

The [[emotional]] arena, of which we have spoken at length, is that arena, that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland Disneyland] of [[activity]] which has been emitted as a result of feelings, often [[feelings]] of people who have not processed why they feel the way they feel. The resultant energies in the environment, then, have a tendency to be unreal, to be [[fantasy]] or stressful. The realities of [[Urantia]] are largely erratic and unreal. Even so the emotional [[tapestry]] of this [[life]] of this planet is what we are dealing with. It is by [[touching]] you, finding you, identifying you, and [[assuring]] you of your true [[reality]] that then [[adjusts]] your way of looking at yourself, and therefore your feelings, therefore your emoting. Your [[emotions]] will take on a more progressive and [[companionable]] [[color]]. We together will and are changing the [[environment]] and changing the world in which you live. This is [[our mission]].

Paula: Thank you, Tomas. That's helpful. I had the [[differentiation]] but I had named them [[opposite]] from what you have put. And, of course, [the word] emotion, from what you have described -- I know the word emoting, putting forth. It is helpful to make that [[clarification]]. I look forward to hearing more about that. Thank you.
