The emotions are like clouds. They form and then disperse, depending on how the wind is blowing. That's why emotions can grant or restrict freedom in your consciousness.
We must clearly tell our emotions and bodies who their masters are. Our emotions cannot interfere when we smile. But when our smiling or laughter is over, emotions develop again. And so we have to go around dragging our emotions with us.
We must cause our own emotions to arise rather than being led around by them. Only then will we be masters of our emotions. If I don't realize that I am the master, then my emotions misunderstand, thinking they are the masters.
We can always make and create our emotions. Absolutely do not let your emotions be your master. You must not permit this. My emotions belong to me.
When your emotions appear before you, say, "I am the master, not you." Then you will immediately become the master of your emotions.
Having long trained our emotions in the wrong way, we've allowed them to take over, pretending to be the masters themselves. When this happens, your emotions make you laugh and make you cry. You've spent a lot of time laughing and crying in response to your emotions. No longer let yourself be the slave of your environment.
I want you to always give life to yourself. The various kinds of information that I have are not me, but mine. Life starts to change when you realize this. Your life will start to change the instant you understand.
