Today’s interesting/thought provoking reading: (Taken from The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire by Deepak Chopra)
He starts off by explaining that the individuality of our personal soul is shaped by more than karma, and that our relationships also play an important role in the construction of the souls. He then goes on to explain the different aspects of our existence such as our bodies, our thoughts, our emotions, our personalities etc. He states that our bodies are just recycled cells and our thoughts are recycled information/ideas. The part I was most interested in is when he talks about emotions:
Next, consider our emotions. Emotions are just recycled energy. Emotions do not originate with us. They come and go depending on situations, circumstances, relationships and events. Emotions are never created in isolation, they always come about because of some interaction with the environment. In the absence of circumstances or relationships, there is no emotion. So even though I may fly into a rage, it is not actually my anger. It is anger than has settled on me for the moment. Each emotion is dependent on the context, circumstances, and relationships that define your reality at the moment.
