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. This hammer will hammer anywhere he tells it to. It can hammer on a wall, on a ceiling, on a floor, on a desk or anywhere else without anyone holding it. One day the hammer stopped listening to the man who invented it. It hammered anywhere it chose.
