You're right, it can be something of a process, a very difficult one at times, but not separating our emotions in this way can be so disempowering, as we will just implode eventually, we will become spiritually and emotionally incapacitated. I have found that Goddess leads us to true freedom, and this, for me, has been such an important part of this process. I'm so pleased to see you posting here, thank you!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474171962206192207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832825231349391049.post-50104885691267458922008-07-23T19:00:00.000+01:002008-07-23T19:00:00.000+01:00Thank you Tess, that's very kind and it's great to...Thank you Tess, that's very kind and it's great to see you here again! You're right, separating our emotions from those that belong to others can be terribly difficult, it's a process of disentanglement really. So much of the stuff that we drag around doesn't belong to us, it belongs elsewhere - we just need to dump it in the right place! Goddess has really helped me with this process.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474171962206192207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832825231349391049.post-44040000587092077932008-07-23T14:09:00.000+01:002008-07-23T14:09:00.000+01:00You touch on so much here, Andy.

Thank you for this glimpse into your meditation.<BR/>And on feeling, yes I also struggle with truth in emotion. It can be difficult to separate out one's own feelings, and I like the way you put it: a dead weight.Ted Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614757494008500523noreply@blogger.com
