Summary
Overcoming emotional charges and fears involves looking inward and seeking knowledge with the intention of freeing oneself from the ego. Emotion is perceived through the charge it carries, while feeling is a refined perception that arises in a stable and linear state of inner freedom, without euphoria. Getting caught up in emotional turmoil makes it harder to experience peace, which results from each person's own work. The knowledge received can help along the way, but each consciousness evolves individually and follows a different path from the one taken by the person who taught them.
Source transcript
I am conscious that we need to overcome the main barrier in this physical world: our emotional charges and fears. Fear is the root of everything—it consists of the internal threats that human beings fuel. Today, fear and violence are used to make money, forgetting that we need to free ourselves from this to achieve a world of peace. We live in a world that does not have all that much time of life left, because we are moving in the opposite direction from what we could imagine.
Over several reincarnations on this planet, I see myself only as someone trying to contribute in some way. I have gone through all forms of human suffering and effort, as well as the foolish acts we commit out of ignorance. But I believe this is a path of growth and evolution that should be embraced by everyone. It would be wonderful if knowledge were sought with the sincere intention of freeing oneself from the ego, which is fed daily by superficialities that lead us nowhere.
We cannot fully understand emotion. We feel the charge of emotion and think we understand feeling. Feeling is a different space, a refined perception of what human beings can produce when they are well in terms of inner freedom—not euphoric freedom, but the stable and linear freedom that we can achieve.
I would say that a tree has the linearity we should achieve, but we become so involved with emotional charges that it is more pleasurable to live in the turmoil, in the "emotional samba schools" we ourselves create, in wars, in violence, in the nefarious capacity of power, than simply to stop, look within, and, with affection and tranquility, experience the most important moment: the moment of peace. No one can pay for or buy that moment. Only each individual being can experience it, and it is the result of our own work.
Therefore, we cannot look for answers outside. They are always within us. Each being is a consciousness that evolves individually. What we can do is pass on information and knowledge so that each person who assimilates or seeks that knowledge can follow their own path—which will never be the same as the teacher's, but will also be a path of great happiness and light.
