Emotional Intelligence and A Culture of Control

The modern era we currently reside in what can be described as a Culture of Control. As noted in "Humanity at Its Knees," this epoch was set in motion the moment humanity began to distance itself from nature through deliberate attempts to dominate and manage it. This shift is significant because it marks a conscious turning point: a collective choice to adopt systems of hierarchy. Within those hierarchical structures arise comparisons, feelings of lack, simmering resentments, patterns of blame, experiences of shame, and other forms of vibrational violence. We refer to this assortment of harmful patterns and suppressed experiences as Shadow Data. 

Within the Culture of Control, humans have a persistent fascination with assigning roles or labels to every feeling and bodily sensation. Man does this largely in reaction to a deep need to control experience and preserve personal comfort. As a result, Man tends to sort all emotions into two broad categories: fear or aversion on one side, and lack or craving on the other. Very seldom does Man permit an emotion to arise and express itself fully in the immediacy of the now. Instead, nearly everything is quickly given a role and a ready-made label. This tidy classification offers Man the comforting but deceptive impression that he is in control.

Fern Principles, such as 'Ae Ha'a (Divine Glee), and Makali'i (Divine Euphoria), are examples of emotions which are met with a sense of lack or craving.  Man feels he does not have enough, wants more, and is fixated on how to control it to make it stay or to proliferate it.  On the other spectrum, we have Palai Hinahina (Divine Grief), or perhaps Pe'ahi (Divine Chaos) with whom Man will avoid, or reject, and react with aversion.  Because this pathological interplay with our true emotions is experienced, the Human Emotion is not allowed to express itself and Man does not receive the integration.  This is perhaps the most dangerous practice of control. 

If emotions are pure energy, which they are, then humanity has become the architect of our own blockage to experiencing sacred emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the key to understanding consciousness itself because it involves the electrical universe within a human body, and yet too many wander Earth reality as hollow ghosts, constantly guarding themselves and surviving against imagined enemies. Humanity must learn to reintegrate, to reclaim the capacity for genuine inner connection. We must acknowledge our birthright of emotional integration and permit our feelings to arise and express themselves without undue suppression or imposed control. Today, because of pervasive conditioning and cultural saturation, this process is especially difficult. The truth of our emotions, and the truth of our existence, can be profoundly uncomfortable, so many dismiss or numb it as mere suffering. We have become a species habitually escaping our authentic affective life. This is the underlying Culture of Control that keeps us fragmented and reluctant to feel

 All other species on this plain have no aversion to the immediate reality.  Nothing is harmful, everything is acceptable.  All other species recognize the Now Moment.  Friends, this is our great work and our greatest victory, to unite duality within the place of Emotional Intelligence, our electrical self mirrors the electrical universe. The Hawaiian elders would say Ao ʻOiaʻiʻo (Earth Reality) is the only expression of Emotion.  Know this well.  Here, you understand just how monumental the gift of this emotional reality is.  Receive, integrate, and express your emotions: know this can only be experienced when we allow the emotion to express itself in its natural, un corrupt energy.  This is the wholly, and the holy.  The forbidden gospel of St. Thomas reads "If thought and emotion make peace with eachother in this one house (you), they will say to the mountain "move away!" and it will move away."
