Emotions Can’t Reason

Emotions are intensely personal and not under conscious control. They are like having extra senses. Feeling can be rational or irrational but they can never be “right” or “wrong” in the sense that it is “right” to feel this way and it is “wrong” to feel this way. No body should ever feel guilty or ashamed about how they feel emotionally.

Only personal actions can be taken into account. There is nothing wrong with feeling like you want to kill somebody. That is an emotion you feel. It is wrong for you to act upon that emotion and physically go out and kill someone. We are responsible for our actions, we are not responsible for our emotions.

Instead listen to our emotions and try to determine why we feel the way we do. In many cases our emotions are trying to tell us that something is wrong or that something is right. That is a signal for us to be alert and cautious in what we are doing.

In magick and in physical life emotional energy must be directed and controlled by conscious intent or it will turn destructive. Emotional energy must be channeled and directed in a way that will bring positive results. In magickal practice mental energy “contains” emotional energy and directs it to the appropriate target. It is very important that our conscious mind rules physical actions and that our emotions do not rule physical actions.

This is a hard concept to understand because our conscious awareness must be very sensitive to our emotions and work with them in a supportive and positive way. Often our “inner voice” or “inner authority” speaks to us through our emotions. In learning to follow our “inner authority” we need to understand our emotions.

When I work extra hard at the gym and don’t feel like getting up the next morning it is important for me to realize why I don’t feel like getting up and then consciously make the decision to get up anyway. Emotions have extra sensory ability, they do not have reasoning ability.

Above all else emotions do not have reasoning ability and we can not trust our physical actions to guided by our emotions. We can use our emotions as extra-sensory input to assist us in consciously deciding what physical actions to take. There is a big difference.
