An interesting series, Love is not an emotion, that sounds like something to listen to as if its not an emotion what is it?
Emotions are the mind's way of signalling our TEMPORARY responses to TEMPORARY external thoughts and events.
We cannot control the external environment, but we sure can control our responses to it by interpreting our emotions.
And it is very important to recognize the TEMPORARY nature of emotions.
One does not stay in that emotional state forever; therefore, it's not wise to identify with it by saying, "I AM (fill in the emotion).
I recommend this: "I AM FEELING (fill in the emotion)."
Why?
It reminds us of the transient nature of the experience.
Namaste, JaiChai
