Thought Adjuster: “Dear child, let us talk today about the negative [[influence]] of the holding of grudges and the feeding of [[resentment]]. Yes, resentment has to be fed in order to live on. Do you realize what this involves? All [[energies]] have to be sustained by give and take. [[Emotions]] are energies as well and, unfortunately, they are being unconsciously misused and [[abused]]. What do I mean by that?
“You frequently hear about people being ‘taken over’ by powerful emotions — some times to the point that they lose total [[control]] and go on an emotional [[rampage]]. Such is the case when no room is left for honest [[introspection]]. Not only do emotions become so inflated that they literally [[explode]], but also there are no ‘sentinels’ in place to send off warning [[signals]] before the situation gets out of hand.
“Introspection should be the first damage-control response to such episodes. By going within, you are disengaging yourself from the overwhelming circumstances. You are taking an intelligent time out so as to gather your [[wits]]. If you fail do to so, the storming emotions that you [[experience]] may have the destructive power of a [[tsunami]] — leveling everything and everyone on their furious passage as you will justify your [[behavior]] by the [[projection]] of blame onto others instead of looking within for the real root [[cause]] of your emotional imbalance.
“[[Thinking]] brings about [[emotions]] but there is the latent [[danger]] that these emotions, once unleashed, will shut down the rational thinking. When this happens, this gives rise to a very unstable situation as the rational safety valve has been disabled.
“You will leap forward in your spiritual [[journey]] once you learn how to subdue these negative [[emotions]]. They are harmful to you and to others. They are festering emotions that keep growing inside you like fungi if your inner climate is clement to them. Is this how you want to live your life? Tossed around by [[moodiness]]? Wouldn’t you rather reclaim your usurped will [[power]] and kick these emotional squatters out of your being?
“Can you [[imagine]] how it would feel? Whenever your walls display ugly stains, you do your best to lift them off. Do you realize that grudges, resentment, [[bitterness]] are the ugly staining agents of [[your soul]]? They do not feel [[good]]; yet, why are so many of you wallowing in them?
“Emotions can be traded up any time you want to. Therein lays your power. Some emotions are absolutely incompatible with one another. Learn to wisely select them from your emotional color [[palette]]. Swap darker emotions for brighter ones. They will be like a coat of fresh paint on your inner world. Do no longer [[delay]] this powerful home make-over. Serve these nefarious emotional free loaders their [[eviction]] notice; keep the door of your [[heart]] open to loving emotions and allow them to move into the vacated space. By doing so, the value of your [[inner life]] will greatly [[appreciate]]. This is how you flip your much coveted inner real estate.”
