Emotions are valuable tools if they are neutrally observed without getting hypnotized by them. We don't have to believe every emo energy that rises up, and we benefit if we view these movements of energy as indicators of the quality of our relationship with the appearances, circumstances, and patterns of existence.

Compassion arises naturally in direct proportion to the degree of clarity we've cultivated re: the nature of existence - and when we begin to see how trapped living beings are in non-beneficial patterns of unaware agitated reactivity to the appearances, circumstances, and patterns of existence.

Contentment and joy (bliss) arise naturally in direct proportion to the degree of clarity and compassion we've cultivated.
