토론:감정

지시문

"I have emphasized that there are minds that are more powerful than yours. For this reason, you must learn to shield yourself when that is appropriate and open yourself when that is appropriate. This is a voluntary act. If you are completely open, well, you will find life to be very harsh. As you have skin and bone to protect your internal organs, you must have a shelter for yourself mentally. It need not be a prison house. It must be a dwelling you can enter and leave at will. Then you can use your emotions at will. They will not use you."

“It is difficult to be objective when you experience intense love for someone. But it is possible. It is possible because Knowledge is with you. Knowledge is not swayed by your intense loves and your intense hatreds. It is not swayed by your emotional states. Your emotional states only can make it more difficult for you to experience the presence and the direction of your Knowledge. That is not to say emotions are bad, of course not. But anything that dominates your mind that is not Knowledge can lead you astray and have a destructive impact upon you.”
