Emotional guidance system

[DecemberFlower]

I am wondering what are your thoughts about this perspective on emotions. He says that emotions are always correct and that are our highest source of wisdom cause they tell us if we perceive reality true or not. If we perceive truth we are made to feel joyful peacefull trustful but if we dont see corectly we feel negative in fear in guilt depression as a signal to correct our thinking. 

So in this perspective when we feel fear its not that a situation is threatening but that we see ourselves as an ego who can be harmed.. Cause emotions are not talking how a situation is but how we interpret it from ego s point of view. 

I find it really helpful but i struggle to uproot a belief that situations make us feel in a certain way.. Its really hardwired into my mind

So fear is wrong belief that we can be harmed

Depression is wrong belief that we are powerless

Guilt is a wrong belief that some thing could be done other way

Jelousy is a wrong belief that someone has something that we dont have or cant have

Haven't watched the video but I can agree. Certain emotions like guilt, jealousy, anger are just delusions created because you do not understand reality well enough.

The "cause" here is very important to highlight or someone might take it the wrong way. Although, I'm not sure if it's the very highest source, he might just be saying that just to catch people's attention.

This is basically law of attraction 101.

Yes, your emotions show you perfectly if your perspective is in or out of alignment with your deepest truth.

But it’s also not that simple.

There is so much conditioning going on that often we start to deviate from this at a young age.

For instance, let’s say as a child you learned that worrying = love. There’s a very chance you will spend much of your life worrying and thinking that you’re expressing love.

Some people also shut down feeling their emotions when they were younger because they learned it wasn’t safe to feel. Feeling and following their truth meant bad things happened.

So we want to trust our emotional guidance, but we also want to be aware of how it might have been distorted.
