Well, yes, of course! All is involved, I was only referring to a manner through which that transmutation can be externalized, I guess I had the idea of interaction with other-self in my mind.
Aha This is true, I do feel that all is a part of me, and when I mean "our own" I simply mean those things which we consciously, intentionally create as opposed to "naturally arising" thoughts and emotions. I meant this more in the manner like you said where we accept external energy and so make it apart of ourselves and have the choice of what to do with it. For those who can't do so naturally, unlike yourself
, it is worthwhile to consider "origin" of one's thoughts and feelings. This is something I've found for myself that by placing an origin you can identify the intent, so you can perceive not just the thought or emotion, but all the BEING that is tied to it. I suppose this is my manner of managing my empathy, because if I claimed every feeling I experience for myself I would indeed be an incredibly chaotic individual. I have so many constant shifting states that without a sense of source I'd still be wallowing in depression, wondering why I'm slave to the heaviness of my thoughts, and then I realized that even though I feel and think many of these things it is largely because of my external perceptions. For a long time I thought "This is just how I am", but now over time I am discovering the true nature of my vessel and that I have been openly receiving for a long time.
So really, I guess I'm just making the distinction between receiving and transmitting! Which also comes back to my 5th gate reference with the way you said "Whether you let that bring you down and add to the heaviness or take that opportunity to bring others up with you" in that a huge part of the STO path is about communication. This is supposed to be the difference between the two paths, in that STS keeps the 5th chakra thoroughly closed. I guess I was just trying to bring emphasis to this point to show how internal transmutation may be externalized, and expressing that the throat chakra is the primary blocked gate for those whom have collected negative energies, which can be dissolved by directing this energy through the throat chakra, which is one of the main barriers for one trying to switch polarities from negative. That is, by externalizing that which is internal we turn the internal light in to external light, and so 5th Gate radiance is especially important for those who have gone through the trials of negative wisdom. Truly our greatest gift we can give is the sharing of that wisdom through the knowledge of our own paths and experiences, and thus the necessity of the 5th.
But of course, energy is a part of every center of the body and indeed it all must be transmutated in due time.
