You can learn to rise above your emotions. Your feelings may be subject to the swing of the pendulum but you need not be at their mercy. The Law of Polarity itself tells you that when you are sad, know that soon you will feel happy and when you are happy remember that you were once sad. Learn to see how the two extremes of all your emotions seamlessly flow into and out of each other. Once you can see and accept this, then only can you learn to transcend the opposites and rise above your emotions.
Transcending the Law of the Opposites
The duality of your emotions may appear to be very real in your life but the Law of Polarity operates only in the physical and mental realms, to which your emotions belong, not in the spiritual realm where All is One. Your Higher Self is the key that opens the door to this spiritual realm that is above the opposites and so above your emotions. Your Higher Self is the You that is the same in kind as the One Universal Mind. It does not distinguish between good or bad, wrong or right, happy or sad. Not because it is unable to but because it has no need to. It is the eternal Observer.
Be the Witness, Not the Puppet
As the Observer, you become the witness to your experiences from above your emotions rather than the puppet flung around by the swing of the pendulum. This means that you can experience the full range of emotions and seek to learn the lesson that accompanies them, while knowing that they are all but passing illusions of your mental world. This is not the same as not having emotions. It is simply about changing your perception, which means to see your emotions from a different perspective.
Focus on the Positive and Know that the Real You is One with Omnipotence
Consciously choose to focus on the positive even when things appear to be going badly, knowing that the good will come. It must. Think, speak and act from the knowledge that you are one with the All-Powerful Universal Mind that is above the opposites and for which nothing is impossible. In the Hermetic teachings of The Kybalion, this is referred to as the Art of Mental Transmutation.
As you practice being the witness of your emotions while keeping your attention on all that is positive, then the pain associated with your negative emotions will diminish. You may even find that your positive emotions become more enjoyable as you learn to appreciate them in the moment, knowing that they too will pass. Your emotions will no longer define you. By raising your awareness above your emotions, they can become the compass for your growth rather than the boulders that knock you off course.
Life is the Beautiful Game
Learn to see life as a game. It is not the competitive aspect of the game that counts but rather the willingness to play, irrespective of whether you win or lose. When you play a game, you prepare yourself mentally and physically to do your best to win, but even if you lose you can still walk away graciously having enjoyed the game. The challenge that comes with the possibility of winning or losing makes it worth playing. Just like you wouldn't like to play a game at which you always lose, you would quickly get bored with a game at which you always win. In fact, losing is just as important as winning, and without the former you could never enjoy the latter.
Seek Love Not Happiness
In your pursuit of greater awareness, seek True Love rather than happiness. The kind of Love described here differs from the love most humans experience as an adoration for something or someone. This kind of Love cannot be compared to a state of non-love. It does not discriminate between what is loved and what is not loved. It does not have an opposite. In fact, Love in this sense is not an emotion, but rather it is the absence of all emotion. To be in a state of True Love is not to deny your emotions but rather it is to experience both ends of the spectrum and accept them both equally while being above their swing. It is to be in perfect balance.
In the Words of Khalil Gibran
Perhaps no words capture the essence of our emotions and how we experience them better than those of the great poet and writer Khalil Gibran, as expressed here in the all-time classic, The Prophet:
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find
it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth
you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board,
remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
In a nutshell, you are an emotional being and as long as you live in the physical world, you will experience emotions. Give yourself a break and let go of the idea that your search for greater awareness should release you of all unwanted "negative" emotions. You cannot choose one end of the spectrum without choosing the other. Your happiness is fleeting, as is your sadness, and both are equally important. Rather than trying to rid yourself of them, learn to rise above your emotions whereby you become their witness, not their puppet. When you become the Observer, you will experience True Love and your misguided pursuit of happiness will have been transformed into a state of perfect balance.

Integrated Higher Self transcends any energy of lower densities. It is not the victim of control forces or subconscious programmes/entrainment, and being merged, unified with our Higher Self naturally overviews and overwrites the lower entrainment energies of control. If your ego self can relax, open and flow with your Higher Self, feel the Oneness with it (and therefore with Source), then its focus - what it feels attracted to focus upon, and how it engages with what it focuses upon - will change, and has the potential to transform utterly.
Freedom in Love is available always, if/when the ego self is wholy prepared to relinquish its hold on one's concept and experience of 'reality'. There are many many levels, or layers, of Life...
It's unlikely to transcend an electromagnetic field, without being somehow altered by it. This is a heavy burden because we enter frequency which is harmful, many times toxic. It insults life. Specially with this sensibility, you might become it.
The frequency of ego is suppressing consciousness.
Humanity shows generational symptoms, visible on their health, selfish behaviour, life style, governmental system, education and any other currency related institution and industry. Abuse of life and nature.
Outward obsession regarding health issues. Either it be obesity or any other genetic syndrome, without comprehension of the inherent cause. Emotional malnutrition.
Symptoms of sentient dissociation, stress, and sexual awareness. Emotional trauma. Alimentary disorders, either nutritional or/and informational.
Damage is being done without realization thereof. Overall sensitive perception is descending, in other words, sentient coherence is damaged. Love is missing.
Lack of conscience throughout generations has made it this way. Passing onto children.
This chaotic form of existence is their "normal" their "nature" Ego is at its strongest.
I've entered a place where consciousness was deteriorated, sometimes completely vacant till the point It hurts. Ultimately manifesting in the form of terminal diseaces.
The condition is harmful, their capability to sense life is undergoing a primitive regression, that will likely cause further damage, in form of conflict and global crisis. Despite my incoming information announcing a rise in consciousness.
It's falling apart, and so do I, which is part of the plan. At least the notion brings relief.
Crushing pain on my chest, front and back, fragile, it hurts. Conscience ricochets as a sign of grief and dispair.
No matter what my family sends me, I dissasemble it inside my heart, finding out the truth. It's not healing, I can't be lied to, nor can I decieve myself.
Sparks on my field of vision, and stars on the sky. I want to leave this place.
On human eyes, I become a nonexistent lie. Their consciousness insults my soul.
Higher Self is more than just the Observer, from my point of view. Yes, that is part of what Higher Self does, part of its 'role', but actually the Higher Self is a focused, concentrated aspect of one's Oversoul that is guiding this particular 'soul thread' of incarnations, and is its pinnacle....so when we merge with our Higher Self, that pinnacle awareness is absorbed into our perspective, and we feel like an observer, as we no longer identify with the push and pull of thoughts and emotions - the mental and emotional field - so our energy can simply flow through that field from a viewing point that is aligned with Source instead of pulling against the stream....

Dear Rainbow Star,
Our Higher Self is Our reality...
It leads us to the Ultimate truth and will connect with the Main source with out any obligation...in a Natural way...
It's our Reality and our Pure existence...is manifested by our Higher self only...

You can label this cogninitive filter as omnipotence, oneness or divine pizzazz. And it won't change what it is, because perception is time, not reality.
Like a book, just because you've read the first pages, it doesn't mean they aren't still there.
If say a time traveler decided to enter the past, he would find my child version, damaged. Because in the past, which is still present, I'm still hurt.
This is why twenty years later, you'll still find scarred people. Also generational damage is passed on genetics, the same way the progenitors' information passes into the offsprings.
Memory related symptoms, genetic information, will even manifest, physically.
Scars will remain despite your take on perception. Shaping your view changes nothing.
In her eyes, that look like when you see something broken.
Be the witness and the compassionate forgiver. Your name is not derived with numerology, because the language is derived from a mixture of accidental changing through time. It's not what your name is that matters, it's what you do with it.
Absolutely - BE the Observer and stay grounded amidst all the chaos in the world. All this sh*t has to come to the surface to be released, and we're just getting started in this very intense energy. Don't take anything personally.
Nice work, it was just what I needed to hear for today. It was the message that I was looking for to pick me up again. Adonai
Indeed, Avatar :) Glad you like it! <3
Great post, RainbowStar...thanks for sharing!
