From the perspective of new, novice, and intermediate seekers: how can those two dead-end extremes be avoided and what's a more holistic way of approaching the ideas of emotion and emotional discipline?
Is not complete forgiveness of self an emotion? (As a mere thought it carries no power, correct?) Why would any sensible being desire to repress that?
The mind is an artifact of 2D, according to the Confederation sources, and seeks self-preservation above all. Beyond that, it can create mental constructs, etc., but a 2D mechanism is not a good fit for Divine communion.
The heart center is said to be the place where Divinity and our temporal sensibilities intersect, and the heart speaks (and hears) in emotional terms.
You seek, my friend, to know self as an aspect of Divinity. You must then enter your heart via a flow of emotional knowing and check yourself in as a patient seeking treatment.
To do that, you must be able to regard--and accept-- the 2D preservation mechanisms (fight, flight and so forth) for what they are as you simultaneously allow awareness of Deeper Self.
No, it's not easy, but neither is it grandiosely impossible. The aliens say it's a matter simply of discipline. It's a matter of holding open the love of the Creatrix (which is of you, a solid portion of you) and at the same time accepting self with all its "complications," shall we say.
You may fail repeatedly because of speed with which the self-preservation defenses can play their hand, but as you become more aware of the process and can track which cards are being played, you will find that satisfaction becomes quite palpable.
How does one learn this? Meditation is HIGHLY recommended as a way of discovering inner knowing.
Maybe we will agree to disagree?

Afterall, your mind and the Creator's mind is one of the same at least that is the way It sees it. You live and move inside the Mind of God therefore, you also think within this Infinite Mind. The Entire Universe is mind-stuff. You would not call the perfect movement of the Sun a 2nd density feature because you have to know that the Sun moves and lives within the Mind of God also. Just because the mind of someone is not evolved to the sun's level does not make them less than they are from which is a throw back to 2nd density. You are a god. You and I either have not realized it yet or we are realizing it now.
