Wandering upon the affective terrain

[Sacred Fool]

Hey there, yours truly.

I guess I come at this from a different slant.  To me, your article--which I did enjoy reading--comes off like a puritan who's just realized that sex can be dangerous, but also somewhat useful, even beyond the procreative aspect.  So, I would suggest here that emotions are not only strong energies to be acknowledged, but, in addition to the negative varieties, there are also sublime emotional ways of becoming aware of self which beckon one's cultivation.  For example, there is compassion.  Perhaps more significant, I would aver, is the will to serve--a most critical component of spiritual unfolding--which is also highly implicated with emotion.

I'm presenting this not to be critical, please understand, but only to encourage you to follow the currents of your explorations out into the deeper waters of Transcendent Beauty and Comradery of Spirit and Elegance of Service, all of which, from my perspective, offer very pleasing experiences of emotional being.
