Most of us confuse feelings with emotions, but they are quite different. One is for experiencing life on the physical plane and the other is to experience all of life consciously everywhere it exists.
Along with our ego, mind and emotions we have created a wall of resistance around us to our feelings. We may have been taught to think of them as childish or too much a woman thing. This cuts us off from life itself.
We are one trick pony beings on the physical plane, robots programmed to serve some and ignore ourselves completely. Ignore our need to feel our life and its meaning and purpose. We serve and suffer and that can become the mantra of our lives.
A higher way of living is a dream or a fantasy we create in our imagination, but we do not really believe it is possible. For most, there is no magic in their lives, nothing can exist beyond their logic and reasoning. Things other people have taught or educated them on.
We cannot feel because our ego, mind and emotions will not allow it. For them to survive and control us they must have control and block out our feelings. Feelings require silence and our consciousness to guide us in them.
To become a whole person we must be willing to live consciously within ourselves and our feelings. We must come to trust them more than just our breathing. Consciously we must embrace our feelings and not rely only on our logic and reasoning. They can be traitors to our feelings.
Eternal Life is a promise given in the Christian scriptures and access to it is only through our feelings, not only through believing scriptures.
