The Roots of Paranoia: Creating Peace Is Easier When We Learn What Emotional Processing Teaches Us About Each Other and Ourselves.

While many still think that other planets or microscopic scale things are the 'final frontier' for humans - there are those among us who have learned already that our own emotional body is every bit as misunderstood and necessary to be explored as any other part of the cosmos.. Here are my tips for the day on this important topic!

Often our unprocessed / unaccepted (denied) emotions are twisted and mixed up together such that we only know that we feel uncomfortable and 'bad' - with a general lack of understanding being present that causes no end of problems. The resulting pain may produce fear and then anger - which may then be projected onto others who happen to do something that either really does trigger us or that is possibly even entirely innocent and non triggering (our unconsciousness causes us to blame theme anyway). The pain and confusion we feel may result in us mentally jumping to all kinds of conclusions that reflect the general feelings we are holding and the lack of self acceptance - for example, we may believe that people are 'definitely' doing something malicious towards us - when we really don't know if they are or not. This is the root of much of what we call 'paranoia' - where our past traumas and fears continue to 'haunt' us in a way that is not being totally noticed.

You can find out the extent to which denied emotions from your past are effecting your thoughts, perceptions and choices in the present moment by opening to feeling everything that is in you that are have been pushing down and avoiding. By opening to your real feelings, you can give yourself acceptance in deep ways that you have not previously done and in doing so you will quickly learn that some of the feelings that were causing you to dislike certain people (or even things and places) were actually nothing much to do with those people, things and places. By accepting and evolving your feelings through your heart, you will be likely to experience a deep peace that cannot be reached in other ways - not only because you now feel more relaxed and free emotionally, but because you are now able to understand your relationship to people and things in a clearer way.

When I talk about accepting and evolving emotions, I am not talking about you yourself talking about or thinking about the emotions - I am talking here about the feeling of them (lovingly) and the allowance of them to be converted into sounds and bodily movement (as they themselves feel they need to do).

Many of our problems stem from our mind's lazy / ignorant decision to judge and blame our emotions - while conveniently removing itself from any responsibility. Ironically, the only way to fix many of the issues is for the mind to realise its mistake and to then gain guidance from the emotions that it had previously judged as being causal, when they are only responsive.

Paranoia can be a kind of spiralling of dysfunctional emotional energy (fear) whereby denial of emotions/fear causes them to go 'undercurrent' and to be even more frightened of their perilous experience of being held outside of love. The fear doesn't 'go' anywhere when it has been denied previously, it simply freezes and continues to influence our thoughts and feelings 'just beyond perception'. The feelings get triggered more when we experience something similar to what caused them originally, which is part of why paranoia typically does involve some aspect of truth and some real thing that might be causing the fear - but which often then gets hugely blown out of proportion in the mind of the individual.

If you are feeling rage and anger to a degree that seems unusual or unexplained - it is likely that you are unconsciously trying to protect yourself from something you are frightened of. So the key is to seek your fear and your anger - with intent to understand both and to heal, balance and evolve. When you can freely experience your own fear and love yourself back to health in those parts - you can start to learn the origins of your anger in a safe way. From here you can then change your thoughts, such that your personal power increases and you no longer believe that you have no power or cannot solve your problems. Even if you do not yet know how to solve your problems, by defining your situation such that you leave open the possibility of solving your problems, instead of defining that a solution is impossible - you open a door for change and to feel greater peace and balance.

I can easily speak for months on this topic, but rather than read me go on and on - I suggest it is more useful to simply go inward and feel more!
