Hi Bets,
Thank you for the kind words. I don't fully intellectually comprehend all this stuff either.
I see a distinction between "feelings" and ones feeling nature, to that of emotions. I believe we have had our feeling nature since we were formed out of the energy of Source.
Our feeling nature allows us to experience other energies and consciousnesses. It's connected to the Feminine energy of Source and of our Souls. It corresponds to that moment when Source was all just One undifferientiated Consciousness, completely still and passive, completely One with no movement nor individual aspects within. At that moment, Source was purely negatively (energy wise, not the moral use of the term) polarized, meaning purely feminine, passive, receptive, and feeling in nature.
Emotions came much later, and is something that we more so created. Emotions are very tied into the actual physical Earth energies and to having physical bodies--so you are very correct in that part. We first "feel" something, and then we choose either consciously or unconsciously to become emotional in connection with that original and pure feeling.
Feelings are of the Soul nature, emotions can partake of the Soul nature, or they can be purely earthy of the Earth oriented. When emotions are more balanced to the Soul nature, they are more clear, controllable, and positive in nature. When they are more balanced to the purely physical which manifested from continual indulgence in the separated sense of self (ego) and the building up of an ever stronger collecitve and individual thought form of same, then they become more negative and destructive in nature. Emotions become like the dark Moon in that sense, they unbalance our energies, they short circuit the connections between our slow-vibrating systems and our faster vibrating systems so that tempoarily we become unaware or out of phase with our expanded and fast vibrating aspects of self and Creation.
In astrology, the Moon is the symbol most connected with emotions, and beyond astrology, the Moon has a long association with emotional and mental instability, otherwise known as "lunacy". This comes from Lunar, which is the older word for the Moon.
These (emotions) are feelings exaggerated and amplified to the nth degree, and often more in connection with our ego or false selves and to physical reactions and energies. In those cases, they become hard to control and to redirect towards more positive ends.
This is connected to our animal selves as well, since our energies are connected to a pattern of dense energies which evolved from the animal (our body), which is based on kill or be killed, or run away. Purely instinctive without logical reasoning, totally automatic and overwhelming. When an animal senses danger, their very whole being centers on the feeling of danger or agression (except for dolphins and a couple other animals). Raw, unconscious, uncontrolled emotional energy.
This is and was necessary for physical animals, but not for us, yet we have this within us since we partook in becoming involved with physical and animal energies. This is hard to transcend while in physical, and this is why there are not many more Yeshua types running around in physical who have complete and fully conscious mastery of their physical energies, and all energies connected to same.
Astrologically, while emotions are more along the lines of Moon (more feminine polarized emotions) and Mars (more agressive masculine polarized emotions) or in other words flight or fight, the pure feeling nature we have covered up within us, corresponds more to Neptune (the more feminine polarized aspect) and the Sun which you guessed it, is the other polarity.
Neptune and Sun are much, much, much faster vibrating energies and consciousnesses than Moon and Mars.
And eventually we balance all of our energies, merge all the Chakras and stimulate all the endocrine glands, and we phase into the energy which is represented by pure White Light.
This takes continual discipline and control over the human emotional nature from various angles including even diet, exercise, and other more physical disciplines as well as meditiation, energy clearning, etc. Not that we suppress our emotions, but rather consciously recognize them for what they are and then positively redirect them. If we supress and repress, and bury it within our subconscious selves, this just creates more problems down the line.. But if we are very self honest, recognize and learn to feel out these emotions, and then consciously redirect them or replace them with positive feelings and thoughts, this the eventual consistent practice leads to spiritual enlightenment. This is why they call spiritual Masters, masters. They are not masters of any other people or things, but complete masters of self, and self's projections whether of thought, emotion, or action.
They come to a point where they have so continually practiced positivity within self, that its a habit and automatic reaction for them to think, feel, and emote positive energies, and to do positive actions. Pure positivity, pure Light, pure Love and pefect balance between masculine and feminine energies (active and receptive energies).
It's really hard to explain the difference between the emotional nature and that of the feeling nature. So many so automatically associate them as the same thing, and our language and culture is somewhat based around that. Its hard to put into words, but in a sense the feeling nature is actually more "mental" in attunement than emotions which is a mix of mental, emotional, etheric and physical energies. Emotions are "heavier" if that makes any sense... Attachment and habits are a big part of emotions, wheras feelings can be let go of or redirected easily and near instantly. Emotions are a distorted and exagerrated reflection of feelings and the feeling perceptions, but emotions can become either harmonious or inharmonious.
Well..i tried, but probably failed miserably to get across the both the differences and where they are connected as well.
