“All of this exists to guide us through the complexities of life. But our cultural obsession with thought undermines this guidance. By simply shifting our awareness to the experience of feeling, we can begin to reclaim our natural inner wisdom….
“When functioning naturally, the parts of the self all work together. Each has access to its north star, its true function in the whole of the self. Each communicates its current relationship to that ideal function through how its feeling state is expressed in the moment….
“Simply bringing our awareness back to feeling at the center of our being begins to restore our natural functioning. Explicitly inviting ourselves to trust feeling’s guidance supports and nourishes this inner wisdom. Nothing is more important.”
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!
I love it.
To me this sounds as if you are describing the principles of Synchronosophy, developing a scientific framework which perfectly roots the practice of processing emotions, and nurturing all aspects of individual and social experiences towards healing.
I also fully agree with this:
“We honestly cannot know what shape it will take, and we serve this transformation best when we hold outcomes lightly, with reverence for the mystery of life’s unfolding.”
I know that the practices you have developed are different from mine, but we are covering common ground, which is exciting to me, since, as you say, the understanding of emotions in our society in general (in science, therapy, spirituality, and everyday life + social interactions) is rudimentary, erroneous, and often destructive.
There is a lot more I could say to this… e.g. the prioritisation of thought over feeling, so-called objectivity over subjectivity, fear of emotions, aversion to (negative) emotions, the assumption that emotions are controllable, rudimentary and inadequate understanding of emotional responses, etc…
Thank you so much for this important work. I am excited to learn more!!
I'm totally resonating with what you're saying here, Veronika, and also excited to learn from one another. This work is so essential, so needed, and so desperately longed for by people throughout history, I believe. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on my next few posts in the science section. Once I get those completed, it'll be time for us to talk. Looking forward to it!!
