Thoughts and Emotions
Thoughts, Emotions, Ego and Desire
by Atman Nityananda
Our thoughts are, for the most part, the translation, expression, and interpretation of emotions and feelings at the level of the mind.
Our unhappiness is essentially the lower emotions and feelings (anger, fear, depression, jealousy, frustration, anxiety, impatience, freed, etc.)
Lower emotions are a low-vibrational and disharmonious field of psychic energy crystallized within our psyche.
The center of emotions and feelings is the ego. Emotions are expressions of the ego. They are the ego’s reactions to sensory experiences and their memories.
The center of the ego is desire. Therefore, emotions are directly related to desire.
Our psyche is poisoned by this field, which causes dysfunction in the mind and intellect — attachments, addictions, identifications, misunderstandings, distortions, contradictions, pain, unhappiness, and psychosomatic illnesses.
Consequently, freedom from all pain and unhappiness is achieved through the elimination of lower emotions and feelings, and of desire (that means of the ego itself), which is their root cause.
