The document discusses the importance of processing emotions as a crucial aspect of human existence. It uses a metaphor of navigating a minefield to illustrate that avoiding emotional challenges can lead to unresolved issues later, while confronting them allows for healing and progress despite potential pain. The contrast between a lesser man, who avoids confrontation, and a wise man, who faces the mines directly, highlights the necessity of emotional acceptance and resolution.
The emotion field
- 1. The Emotion Field Everything has to pass through the emotion field. This is a plane within our human existence. It’s like this. If we don’t pass through the emotion field, events and happenings that happen to us that we don’t fully accept and filter will undoubtable explode within at some point. A great metaphor might be this. There is a mine field that we are invited to cross. As any good surveyor would look around and see that we could in fact pass round either side of the field and miss the mines altogether. The lesser man will pass around the field and leave the mines behind and off he goes on his way leaving behind him (so he thinks) the perils of the mines. The wise man heads into the mine field and finds a way to explode each and every mine in the field. He cleans the field of any dangerous fall out that might happen as a consequence of mines blowing up whilst his attention is elsewhere. The lesser man is miles ahead overjoyed at his progress. He is so clever he thinks and quickly forgets about the mines. But they are there lying not far beneath the ground. The wise man is exploding bombs he is careful to make sure there is no danger left. He may get hurt in the process but he is not afraid and he carries on and reaches the other side of the field with a few wounds but he is alive and he is then in a position to heal his wounds as they are visible to him and it is easy. The lesser man is forging ahead with pride and he feels like a winner. Suddenly one of the mines in the field explodes without warning. The man is aware of it. He is confused because he is by now far away from that field but he feels a connection to it. He hasn’t forgotten it as he thought.
