Emotional Triggers and States of Mind: Be Wary

[Seeker in the Dark]

I wanted to touch on a point that I believe will benefit people here. This will relate mainly to the emotions and how to control them.

Have you ever come across a person who seems calm, civilised and intelligent, then all of a sudden you bring up a specific topic and they start raging and losing their minds?

It’s like you activated something in them and they turn rabid.

Some notable examples I’ve encountered, see if you’ve met someone who went from 0 to 100 in the following:

.Political/religious topics
.Diet, most notably vegans
.Vaccines, especially the covid topic

Perhaps you saw someone get “activated” in another topic. You signaled your disagreement and the rage kicks in. Topics of personal insecurity are also big ones here.

It’s easy to see it in others, but it’s very likely you can also be “activated” when you encounter someone with a disagreement on a specific topic. I have felt this way myself on several occasions.

Even if you’re on the factually correct side, this doesn’t mean you have a right to rage at the other person, remember, they think they’re “right” as well.

It is important to control yourself, for several reasons:

.It helps with your advancement, self-control of emotions will also help develop your brain region that controls willpower, helping you in other things like diet, getting work done, ect

.Your “opponent” who disagrees with you will see you being calm and thus won’t get defensive, allowing you to sway them to your side easier

. You’ll actually feel better about yourself, more calm, and you’ll be able to understand the views of the other side to better your knowledge without going on a rage simply reading or hearing them

A lot of this has to do with emotional sensitivity. Generally women are more emotionally sensitive than men but there are exceptions, this is why you’ll see a lot of crazy, emotional women who rage extremely easily, there is a spectrum to this, some are most emotional than others. This is due to women being more in tune with the lunar or senstive aspect. There are also a lot of men these days who are very reactive/lunar in their behaviour.

The goal, and this applies to both men and women, is to take the reigns and tame that emotional/chaotic Tiamat within you, and this is done by assuming a masculine/active state, non-reactive and understanding of the emotion. Become the solar king/queen within who tames the instinctive, watery state. This is done through becoming your own leader, gently but firmly tame your subconscious emotional state, don’t repress it, tame it. It can help to visualise the emotion/energy as something to tame.

It gets easier over time but you’ll always need to remind your body/emotional side who is in charge. You should be the rider, not the horse.

No SS should be a slave, especially to themselves.

I should also add that you should apply the “taming” to all other emotions. Do not misunderstand me, I am not saying repress them. There is a difference. I am telling you to remain in control.

However, there are exceptions, sometimes you do need to “let go” such as mourning or there are times it doesn’t hurt to be “overwhelmed” such as great happiness and laughter.

I am mainly speaking on states that could harm you or make you say/do things that you might regret later. Uncontrolled urges are a good example here as well. Again, tame, do not repress. Repression will hurt you.

Taming the emotions is a lot like taking control of a horse, gently, but assume control.

You can also “speak” to your emotions as if they were people. Your calming vibrations from your words will have an effect on those emotional energies.

For example, be reassuring, but also firm in what you say. Speak to your emotions with authority and grace.
