thank you I enjoyed reading this thread.
When I first discovered that I was not in any way aware of what my constant fluctuating emotions were I made a list of emotions and posted it on my desk at work and my desk at home, in the kitchen, in the car, in my purse... and set an intention to become AWARE of all of my emotions. All day as I could, I would look and gage where on the list is the closest to what I was feeling and then accept the emotion.
Detecting my emotions was a disciplined task. Whereas something like Anger is obvious, Worry is generally less easy to detect. Once aware of my surface emotions it then becomes interesting to see how others may "trigger" me and begin to form a deeper self-acceptence.
Little did I know, this was just a beginning, to moving into a much greater depth in healing and self-acceptance of all the archetypes or selves within.
I'm quite solid in belief that behind all the emotions that are of less then Love there is a root cause of Feeling Unloved. How can the root cause behind Anger be the feeling of being unloved?? It's not easy to see but deep within us it is happening. When someone cuts us off in traffic, why do we really care? Why do we react or experience any emotion at all? On a MIND level we can easily explain it away --they are in a hurry, they had a bad day, they are teenagers, old person driving, etc. But on an EMOTIONAL level why did we have the emotion? It is because we feel unloved. We feel emotionally in our heart, hurt. Their carelessness is an expression of Unlove and lack of worth to our own self.
Getting in touch With our Emotions is like the matching necessary polarity to balancing with Knowledge and how we use the MIND. Without both we are not whole.
The need to express power or control over others is a reflection of the fear in the self of losing ones own control and power over ones own self, through emotions. All the while the suppression grows as does the Knowledge at attempt to control the emotions.
Down in the darkest part of our psyche to be found hidden in the emotional realm is the desire and necessary need to claim the truth in Unlove. In it lies powerless state of a lack of self worth and a lack of self acceptance. Asking myself "how does my heart really feel" when I am creating a story in my mind about anything, immediately removes the story and moves me into the truth of the emotion, thus allowing a true release. Once becoming in tune and in acceptance of the process of feeling, it becomes in itself a longing because the release is so fulfilling.
It's possible to discover these long-stuck emotions when we are stuck in a the duality and god-construct part of the universe, by setting the intention to have a Desire or to create a Longing for the Humility to Feel our Deepest Emotions. Upon setting these intentions you may awakening to lucid dream experiences to feel what was never felt Then, and in doing so you will be released from them.

It's also very worth noting that emotions we have oppressed HERE in our physical form are being Acted out by our SPIRIT in the spirit realm unseen, and here. Our Spirit form is capable of influencing others who are in Physical form; from sabotaging, molesting and other random "acting outs" in as many ways possible as we know. We can't really "get-away" from what we are creating and attracting.
We are affecting and interacting with each other and OUR SELVES from the Past on a Multi-Dimensional Level.
It's possible that our Split-Soul is the entity in spirit that causes us the most pain and growth even if we have never known them here as in physical.
That noted: We are indeed, all ONE, affecting each other beyond this realm.

....tendency is to get very excited and go overboard emotionally. But this is because I am thinking about the whole scenario that might unfold: selling it to a publisher, and then, getting people to actually read it. I am attached to the outcome.
What I do is to say, okay, this is a great first step. Take it one step at a time. It will all work out the way it is meant to. In this way I still feel joyful, but not bonkers thinking I already have a best-seller.
This does not mean one shouldn't feel joy. But joy would not be attached to an outcome.
Hi Diana, great example.
Is there a possible unfelt emotion of worry/fear lurking yet to be driven helplessly into the feeling of it.
As I read your post I see how with the use of your MIND you discovered the attachment. You acknowledged that and you took yourself back up with the power of the MIND so you could feel stability, control and "let go".
However, deeming it "an attachment" is like stating you are not worthy of that said desire. It is sort of a denial state for your deserved desire.
The way to go into it through the emotional depth, is to ask the Heart how it really feels, and be willing to feel the humility, have the tears or whatever comes up that expresses to the universe what you no longer wish to live. Whatever it is, that resides around the fear of the possible non success. What do you dread that is the antithesis of your desire? In doing so you express to the universe that you Deserve what you are now acknowledging the lack of.
