Choosing Guilt or Joy

All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. From fear comes anger, hate, anxiety and guilt. It's true that there are only two primary emotions, love and fear. But it's more accurate to say that there is only love or fear, for we cannot feel these two emotions together, at exactly the same time. If we're in fear, we are not in a place of love. When we're in a place of love, we cannot be in a place of fear. Can you think of a time when you've been in both love and fear? We have to make a decision to be in one place or the other.

There is no neutrality in this.

If you don't actively choose love, you will find yourself in a place of either fear or one of its component feelings. Every moment offers the choice to choose one or the other. And we must continually make these choices, especially in difficult circumstances when our commitment to love, instead of fear, is challenged.

Having chosen love, doesn't mean you will never fear again. In fact it means that many of your fears will come up to finally be healed. This is an ongoing process. Remember that you will become fearful after you've chosen love, just as we become hungry after we eat.

We must continually choose love in order to nourish our souls and drive away fear, just as we eat to nourish our bodies and drive away hunger. Listen print reads. You say that love and fear are the only two primary emotions and that all other emotions come from them but you give not one iota of evidence. Is this just a wild theory proposed by someone or is there some rational basis for it?

It does not tally with my own experience of myself at all. There are many emotions which are neither fear nor love. When I oversleep and hence miss something I've been looking forward to there is disappointment but not fear.

The Opposite of HSP Happiness is Guilt

Fear needs a focus, something to be afraid of, and there is nothing to be afraid of here. When I go out of my way to get my hands on the puzzle page of the morning newspaper there is enthusiasm and a geeky hunger for puzzle solving but I would not call it love. Then there is a very basic emotion, disgust, which has its own dedicated area of the brain; this makes sense when you consider that disgust is our emotional protection from touching or imbibing poisonous, diseased, or otherwise toxic substances. In neurological terms, disgust is more primary than fear, though introspection doesn't suggest that it is.

In fact, psychologists and scientists haven't trusted introspection for accurate observation for over a century because it is a terribly unreliable method. In short, I don't agree with your article at all. It may be reiterating the words of notable spiritual writers and speakers but it is a million miles away from anything which has a rational or empirical basis.

It's just wild speculation. Fear is always about what will happen next. That means it is about something which Does not exist. If your fear is non-existant that means it is imaginary. If you are rooted in the present, in realty, there would be no fear. There is no point to put all your energies and imagine the worst and be fearful. At most what will happen- you will die.

Anyone can be a loving person. We just sometimes use the other person the unlock this quality. Instead if we unlock it from within, it will be more enduring. When you don't love the biggest fear is loosing the love. When we say we do not love. It is the other person is not giving us response. This fear of rejection is the biggest fear. I wrote something similar today http: I was writing my comment but some how it seems that either i pressed the wrong key or it got erased and as such i am writing it again. The interesting and the most strange thing is that we have the worst fears and in other words fiear the thing which have not actually happened but is actually yet to happen.

It means we never fear or are worried about today. We are just worried about tomorrow. Which is not in our hands and is yet to come. This may happen or not happen is uncertain but most of the times it does not actually happen and we go on worrying and fearing making our life miserable where we could have lived in peace without worrying. I am taking an extreme case: We have got a life, we don't know how long we shall live and we live fearlessly.

We shall just ruine our these five years. Which again is not certain as there may be some new medicine which may ultimately cure us and may increase our life span or we may culturally die tomorrow by some accident. So nothing is sure, but we just the fear makes us not live our life today comfortably.

How to Say Goodbye to Guilt

That is the way we never worry for today when and where we are today but we just worry for tomorrow that is not in our hands and is not certain. So if we just leave this tomorrow in that is in the hands of god we shall be able to live comfortably without fear and suffering. If you just relax and think you will always find what you feared yesterday and years back has actually not happened or has rather never happened but you lost that precious time what you could enjoy or could have lived peacefully. I will suggest, please leave tomorrow in the hands of God and live today without fear.

Tomorrow is going to wonderful as God has never planned continuous misfortunes for you rather he has created a solution for all your problems and you are bound to get a solution for you all problems and fears. So leave the fear and live happily. Love does not mean to have and to own and to possess. It means to be had and to be owned and to be possessed. It is not a circle circumscribed by self, it is arms outstretched to embrace all humanity within its grasp.

Connecting with and cultivating a relationship with the true source of love might be a matter of pure Grace and complete surrender which in itself is can only be experienced. Love is such a tricky thing to define. I would probably classify it as a state of being rather than an emotion. It is much more than an emotion.

Things we commonly mistake for love are: Love is none of these. Instead these are all different versions of fear. Love is more like acceptance without expectance. Love wants nothing, not even to be requited.

Love is not full, it is the emptiness Love is not a feeling but the purest of motives. I agree that basically there are two emotions that fill our lives- love and fear. The author says that one cannot experience both these feelings at the same time.

Here I beg to disagree. Its a mixed feeling. Often, the guilt has won out; I give in and say yes to the party, go do the workout, stay at the miserable job for a little longer, or mope around feeling like a lazy fat-ass totally politically correct, I know, but this is what I call myself in my head. When did we become such a guilty society? When did we decide that guilt was a good motivator?

Here are some things to think about the next time that you make a decision and feel guilt creeping in, trying to persuade you in one direction over another: When making a decision, think about whether or not saying yes incites passion within your being. Will you grow, learn, or be moved in some way by buying the item, going to the event, saying yes to the job? If so, do it! If not, say no. Listening to your body. What if you let your body decide what you did, and not your mind which is often run by guilt?

When You Don't Choose Love You Choose Fear, by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross & David Kessler

When you start to feel guilty about something, try looking at it through a wider lens. Is this situation really important in the grand scheme of your life? If not, let go of the guilt and make a decision based on whatever will benefit your life the most in the long run. The reality is though that the guilt stays exactly where it is. So before you get too serious about your own guilt, do a little back-tracking. How many of those people have you been exposed to, and for how long? Could some of that guilt come from there? Does that make the guilt magically disappear?

Fake guilt is like fake money, it circulates anyway.

Give in to guilt and say goodbye to:

Emotions are energy , and they can be released from the body. Yet, oftentimes, that is not the root of it. It touches upon many of the things in this article. You can speak the words out loud, in your head, or just listen intently, it all works.
