The Purification of Emotions (Part 1)

★On the Purification of Emotions

“The creature called a human being is a creature for whom it is worth spending a whole lifetime purifying its emotional thoughts.” That’s something often said in the inner worlds.

It applies to everyone, but especially for people whose consciousness is sticky, it’s worth spending their whole lives on exactly that.

And from that viewpoint, people can be broadly divided into two kinds.

Do you know what they are?

People whose consciousness is smooth and free-flowing, and people whose consciousness is sticky.

What we can say clearly here is that people whose consciousness flows smoothly are more likely not to sow seeds of bad causes for the future.

On the other hand, people whose consciousness doesn’t flow smoothly store away once again, deep in their hearts, the destiny that appeared as karma coming to the surface in order to disappear, so at that point they scatter new seeds of bad causes into the future.

In that case, just as when you plant seeds in soil and give them nutrients, flowers bloom and fruit forms when the time comes, the time will come when the seeds of destiny you sowed bear fruit and appear.

Looking over the movements of Earth’s humanity over the past tens of thousands of years, many people… no, you could say that “it’s no exaggeration to say that almost everyone has lived within that cycle of suffering.”

…

It’s enough now.

You’ve worked hard enough.

It’s about time to graduate from a history of rubbing against each other, clashing, and in the end, cursing each other, hating each other, and even coming to bloodshed.

And even if it’s not toward others, you can let go now of turning the blades of inferiority, self-denial, and self-limitation on yourself, too.

What?

“I don’t curse anyone or hate anyone. And there’s no way I’d ever kill anyone,” you say?

★Others as Projections of Your Inner Universe

Yes, it’s true that in your physical words and actions, you don’t do such things.

But what about inside your heart?

As states of thought that cross your mind when you look at others and think this and that, can you declare that you don’t do such things?

Let’s think about it calmly.

For example, when you’re walking down the street, whether the person passing by frowns and mutters to themselves or hums happily as they go by, if there’s no bad karmic connection, it’s nothing that can violate you. But in reality, you do think this or that about them, don’t you?

Setting aside times when you’re in a hurry, when you’re strolling along at leisure, don’t you unconsciously judge other people?

That’s fine if you see all people as beings of light and look at them in a way that acknowledges their divinity. But when you’ve grabbed hold of a wave of karma that isn’t their essence, that’s not the other person’s problem; it means that a corresponding bad cause was also hidden in the one who grabbed hold of it.

Vibrations are such that only similar tones resonate with each other.

And yet everyone thinks others are bad and they themselves aren’t.

To tell the real truth, when you zoom in on something and think about it, you’re drawing out what’s inside yourself and looking at it, projecting it onto others and seeing it there. (To be continued)
