You feel as you feel because you
believe in a certain fashion.
Your feelings follow your conscious
beliefs…
Seth – Jane Roberts

So often in the past I have felt that my emotions, my feelings were the potential problem. It’s as if they existed as some separate entity. If I felt happy, I felt good, if I felt really sad, I felt bad. The connection that I wasn’t making and this is something the Field Center also talks about, as Seth does in the above quote — feelings follow intention or what we take to be real. The first time I heard that, it was like stepping out of the hypnotic trance of my emotions. My feelings are just information. They tell me what I am believing. Understanding what I’m believing gives me choice to question it, to believe it or not. But to look at it from the standpoint of emotion alone was to miss the whole picture.
I care about what I believe, what I take to be real – what I identify with is what I breathe life into. I am in this moment creating my present, my future and interestingly, also my past. Today is tomorrow’s past. Funny how that works.
Well, I don’t have all the answers, even though I like to pretend I do on some days. Some days I try way too hard. Some days I am willing to let this loving, benevolent Universe work through me. Some days I’m willing to trust that whatever unfolds is doing so for my greater Good. Some days I get by on the skin of my teeth and Grace. I think I love more than anything living in a Universe that I absolutely know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, bends in our favor with so much Grace and Love. And some days, that’s my resting place and it’s enough.
