Chapter 7: Mists of feelings

[Daniel]

I wish to talk about the relation of 2 integrated things which I will call feeling and intent.

When I use the word intent I am refering to the individual spirit of a thing, of a being that exists. For example a rock is an intent, I am also, so are you. We may stand together near the rock, and all 3 things may project feelings about its surrounding. A dog may suddenly run into the scene, niff around, bark, and then run off. That intent, the dog, will have created a new set of feelings to come around. 1 person may love dogs and feel something like affection or gladness. The other person present may be a little uncomfortable in the presence of dogs and feel something like fear or at least annoyance and unease that the dog has come along and run into its space.

I want to discuss feelings because they are important in openly visualising how we relate to things and to point out that we actually project our feeling about intents. The world of intents is like different fibres or power lines, and the feelings are like mists that we project to them, over them or around them.

[Daniel]

Feelings can be very confusing, very dangerous. From our feelings we assume a lot. These feelings can be confusing because of how or what they are. They are mists that we project around intent. They are also a set of responses to touch, and they are also a method to go deep into something and develop understanding.

If we have had a bad experience with a person, or that person was a person who we invested care and love into yet the 'hurt our feelings' what in reality is current. Let's say that they are no longer in our life, they hurt us at some point whether intentionally or not. We hold feelings of hurt. They hurt us yes, but it is our projection of the feeling that makes it exist and it exists in us, not them.

We get up in the morning and go to work, we engage in our doings, yet at each day the sun goes down, the door to the Dusk opens in the west and things start to slow down. We begin to fall sleepy, introspect and our feeling become more apparent as highlighted by the Dusk. Many of us ignore what we are feeling. We ignore that we still hold a feeling in us that was created 7 years ago because someone we loved left our life. No one can un-project that feeling we carry other than us. We project it daily around us, give it reasons to exist, verify its right to be. But what is it and who holds it? It is a grude, and if we cannot take the maturity to remove that mist then we can carry it all the way to our death.

We can think, I am this 1 intent or fibre of power. That other intent that I loved so much hurt me and I project this feeling because of that. The other intent is not in our life, and in truth we don't project that feeling onto that intent we only project i around our own intent.
