Do Emotions Tell the Truth? - Does What You Feel = What Is Real? - OM School Live
59Do your emotions speak the truth?
Well, no, not really. They are closer to the truth than your mind is, but they are not the truth.
So then, why am I constantly emphasizing emotions and urging you to feel them?
Very good question. While emotions are not the truth, they have a quality that the mind doesn't that makes them very important to the process of spiritual growth.
They are always in the present moment.
The mind is nothing but memories of the past and projections into the future. It is never in the present moment. Indeed, it can't be.
The body, on the other had, is always in this moment. So, when your attention goes to the body, just feeling whatever happens to be there, without trying to change anything, the mind goes quiet.
It is then that you begin to open to the possibility of hearing the truth because the present moment IS the truth.
