Summary:

Emotions like love, fear, grief, anger, and envy are inherently positive and play crucial roles in guiding our lives. However, when these emotions are not embraced and are restricted by outdated beliefs, they can mutate into negative forms such as possessiveness, panic, depression, rage, and jealousy. Understanding and embracing these emotions is essential for preventing these negative mutations and ensuring that they contribute positively to our lives. By recognizing the importance of these emotions and allowing them to manifest naturally, we can lead more fulfilling lives and avoid the pitfalls of emotional suppression.

All of these emotions, love, fear, grief, anger, envy, are positive. But if we don’t learn to embrace them, they mutate into something negative. For example, it is perfectly normal to be in love with two or three people at the same time. But when we attempt to restrict this natural emotion of love, we fall into the negative mutation which is possessiveness. Fear is a normal emotion to keep us safe, but fear can lead to panic. Grief is a natural emotion for grief, when restricted becomes depression, it’s negative mutation. Anger can be a powerful emotion, like the anger that MLK displayed allowed him to change the world. But anger, when mutated, can become rage envy. Is a good emotion. A child who has an older, taller brother who’s able to reach the doorknob may envy his brother. That’s good. Jealousy is the negative mutation. So these five emotions are the primary emotions that help us live life and guide us, and you want to ensure that you embrace them. But not take on rituals of outdated beliefs that mutate them. But emotions lead to manifesting.
