Wait Is This A Trap? Reasoning When....

[alyra]

I use reasoning to avoid negative emotions, but well I don't use reasoning to create positive emotions. I've been assuming this ain't some trap of logic replacing intuition, but is it? some advice is appreciated. 

 

hm, maybe the fact I came here to ask instead of meditate shows fear of using reasoning in a way, but idk no no it's not that. I came here becuase I want perspective that isn't mine. I can contemplate this naturally but having thoughts from others is something I value too.

that is an amazing self-reflection 

remember though that consciousness work is like a stairway, what works for you now is good until it doesn't, and when you come up with something new only implement when you feel it is the right time, there's no rush, there's always going to be a next step

in this manner, using logic to avoid negative emotions is good, because it's better then letting negative emotions take you over 
but the next step, which is overcoming negative emotions without reasoning, is even better then both

the reason I try to clarify this is that you do not start judging your current way of doing things, slowly implement the new mode of consciousness you're sensing at a comfortable place

You say you use reasoning to avoid negative emotions. Would you not also use reasoning to avoid positive emotions?

You say you don't use reasoning to create positive emotions. Would you not also not use reasoning to create negative emotions?

Learn how to watch the mind thinking without being the one thinking it........and breathe.

@alyra The mind is like the eyes. You are seeing what you are looking at.

Negative emotions are the result of the interpretation of a success as bad.

Since I learned there's nothing good or bad, its just the ego rationalizing, puting tags... In nature everything is neutral

Sometimes I wonder why actually I never cry? Its because I've developed a deep acceptance for everything that happends in my life.

Now i know everything bad is something to learn, to proove me. Also look at the universe, everything has its opposite, ying-yang, life-death, dont cling to one in particular, accept them equally and wont be disturbed emotionally.
