What is the Difference Between Feelings and Emotions?

A feeling is a sensed action to a life experience. It is a totally honest response.

In an attempt to control feelings, the most common tendency is to continue to think about the experience over and over again, to the point of obsession. Irrational thoughts come about and ‘emotional’ re-action takes over.

Emotions or Feelings

Society has misunderstood the meaning of these two words. Most people think of ‘feelings’ and ‘emotions’ as meaning the same thing. I believe they are different.

‘Feeling’ is a sensed action to a life experience and a totally honest response. It is something that is meant to be realized, or acknowledged, through our physical existence.

Perhaps, it is even an awakening to understand a situation much more deeply. Feelings should never be denied. They need to be experienced, looked at, worked through and released.

’Emotion,’ on the other hand, is something much different. And for lack of a better understanding, we accepted emotion and feeling as one meaning. Allow me to explain:

The Second Energy Center (Sacral Chakra)

Many things are connected to the second chakra. This is the section of the lower material energy centers that receives Feelings. It is the first response connector.

We experience through the lower half of the body---in the areas called the physical, emotional and mental energy centers (chakras). This area represents and controls the third dimensional aspect of our whole being. It is actually called the seat of the emotional body, with its contents being: feelings. Hence, ‘emotional body’ actually should be called ‘feeling body’, in reference to the physical portion of our being.

The Fourth Energy Center (Heart Chakra)

The fourth chakra is the first center of the astral body and bridges or cushions the physical and spiritual aspects of our energy bodies. It contains ‘second feelings’, which gives us another chance to look at and evaluate the first response feeling. Another ingredient in this chakra is ‘transformation’.

The heart chakra, being the next level beyond third dimensional existence, is the first chakra of the astral body. It actually cushions or bridges the material and spiritual worlds.

According to Rosalyn Bruyere, in her book, Wheels of Light, A Study of Chakras, the heart contains ‘second feelings’, which are quite often different than the first. It also contains transformation. The heart area of our astral body, which connects the physical and spiritual realms, gives us a second chance to look through the eyes of the Creator, with love for the Universe.

The only true emotion in this life is that of Love. Universe created the Spirit through pure love. And that is the only driving force of life---Love. There is no such thing as ‘unconditional hate’ or ‘unconditional envy.’ All prophets and great spiritual leaders taught love not hate. When a small child is asked about God, he will say, ‘God is Love.’

The heart has long been the symbol of love. But it is more than a feeling for our parents or spouse. It also includes joy, ecstasy, compassion, happiness, satisfaction and honor. These are all cousins of love.

For all intents and purposes, Love and its cousins (joy, ecstasy, compassion, happiness, satisfaction, honor, etc.) is the only True Emotion. As we allow our experiences to be seen or felt through the Heart Energy (Love), we can it can be put into proper perspective and allowed to be taken care of by Creator.

The Universe Experiences through Our Experiences

The reason to honor experiences and feel them properly is for the Creator or Universe to experience the physical world through us to become All It Can Be.

We are all part of the Whole of the Universe. Universe is always growing, expanding and becoming All It Can Be. Spirit Beings in human form (us) are set into place to share life experience with the Universe. Creator cannot experience life on Earth as a physical form in any other way. We are that extension of Mother-Father God.

The human experience is connected to Creator by a pure silver cord of love. This is the only way life experiences can be directed back to the Universe---through love. It’s the only language that Spirit understands. The love emotion is the only way to put all earth experiences and feelings into correct perspective. Whenever we experience life actions, those feelings need to be pulled up into the heart, seen through love, and released.

Love helps put everything in order. It softens the feeling and the degree of intensity. Universal Creator then easily assists in resolving the situation. Through love, there is surrendering and allowing God to have it. All obstacles seem to move out of the way. The resolution appears.

I’d really love it if you share some of your thoughts about this article on Andromeda — the content and/or the idea of channeling. This, to me, feels like misinformation, or even made up instead of true channeled information.

Maybe I am too skeptical, but there are many people who imagine channeled information coming forth. They will present it as authentic, but actually, the information is what I might call ‘wishful thinking,’ letting your imagination run wild, and even lower energy entities creating chaos.

I knew of a woman who was a medium. She was young and inexperienced at life. But an elder (not all elders are positive role models) told her she was very talented as a medium and that she could channel (as a trance medium) well known Biblical personalities.

I am sorry, but I believe Mother Mary does not come to you and tell you to stop feeding the stray cats. But this is what was said as a channeled message.

Just because you think you are, does not mean you are channeling.

The Trance State: A deep control by the spirit will produce a trance state of consciousness with the medium. A lighter trance is used for mental mediumship, and a deeper trance is used for physical mediumship.
Indicators for the trance state are similar to those for deep meditation.
Trance can be recognized by the slowing down of many of the medium’s automatic physical body processes which are generally controlled unconsciously: heart rate, breathing and body temperature. It is not the same as the sleep state, but could be confused with it. For all intents and purposes, the medium is unconscious.
Since spirit speaks directly through the consciousness of the medium in the trance condition, the voice will sound much different from the person’s usual voice. This is considered more accurate information and is often called direct voice.
Channeling is a mild form of trance, in which the medium is usually still awake and aware of the information coming through. It deals with spiritual teachings coming from the higher realms. As I see it, if you are unaware of the information coming through, you are in deep trance. If you are given a trail of information as a conversation, a lecture or a class, then you are channeling.
