The average person thinks between one and five million thoughts each minute. The average person is in a state of emotion almost all of the time, but not in a state of high emotion. Since we are such emotional beings and so used to being in states of high emotion, we do not notice when we are in low-level states of emotion. It feels to us as if we are not in an emotional state at all, when we are actually in a state of emotion, but at a much lower level. When you are dealing with the emotional parts of these workshops, please understand that we are not suggesting that you get rid of your emotions.
Emotions are very useful tools.
We created them to use and enjoy. They are the keys that teach us about ourselves, and what we are carrying around inside. The idea in these workshops is to get to the point where you always consciously respond rather than react. Emotions are tools. However, they have gotten to the point in many cases where they rule the person Picture, if you will, a man who has invented a Magic Hammer.
