I would be interested in getting you two's opinions on the role of feelings in time/space and space/time. If there is some sort of connection or bridge between the two.
note that I picked the word feelings over emotions.
to me, emotions are more surface phenomena, the turbulence that arises on the personality level. Feelings, however, to me, seem more core, as in the expression "getting in touch with your feelings", and seem to be a deeper driver of behaviour and process.
it's a side tangent, I know, but would be interested in hearing your thoughts.
thanks.
While I use "feelings" and "emotions" interchangeably, I can appreciate the concept of "surface-emotions" vs. "deeper emotions" or "deeper feelings".
When it comes to the deeper and less transitory feelings, the connection between space/time and time/space is that these "feelings" are actually our perception of the vibrational dialog between the space/time self (that we are) and the time/space analog self (the higher self).
So as an example, you see someone you don't like. It makes you feel bad.
What is this negative emotion or feeling?
From my perspective, this is our space/time perception of the difference in vibrational standpoints between our perspective and our higher self's perspective of the situation. The main point is that the higher self will never join you in negative thought. So in that moment that you had a negative opinion about another portion of the creator, it split your energy. You perceive this vibrational variance, or split energy, between yourself and the time/space analog self as "feeling bad" (negative emotion).
Now the degree to which this thought feels "negative" will be in direct proportion to how much this thought diverges from the perspective of the higher self, which exists as pure positive energy. While this may initially seem like a bad thing, its actually not. The reason being that this perception of the variance, or negative emotion, between your perspective and the higher self's perspective provides the awareness that you have diverged from the Law of One. You can then use this barometer called "emotions" to "feel" your way back into alignment with intelligent infinity. That's pretty cool in my opinion.

This is one reason why emotions are so valuable. They represent our space/time perception of constant vibrational communication with our higher self.
Emotions arise in response to what you think about, so you can infer from how you feel emotionally whether your habitual thoughts are separating you from your higher self, or unifying you with your higher self. That's good to know!

So the next time you feel bad, stop, and evaluate your thoughts in that moment. I guarantee you, that in that moment, your perspective on life has diverged from how the source inside you is seeing things, which is always joyful in nature. That emotion is your higher self either calling you back into alignment or allowing you to sense your state of alignment through a sense of "well being".
I believe it was Joseph Campbell who said, "follow your bliss". Wise words for finding your way back into alignment with ones unmanifested self.
