To the unaware who are mostly ruled by their minds and thought the idea of managing them seems impossible.
They have not yet learned to consciously separate from mind and emotion. They identify too closely with them.
For the awakened person the separation may have started, but they may not be strong enough in their awareness to keep the separation.
As we consciously evolve, our awareness will shift back and forth from our lower, mental and emotional bodies into our higher conscious feelings. This is normal.
It takes dedication on our inner journey to rise consciously, and a commitment is needed. Our relationship to higher states of consciousness is like exercising a muscle. If we do not exercise it, it will atrophy.
We do not have to meditate for hours every day; it is not work. If we approach meditation properly it is more play than anything.
Higher conscious work is play.
