As a recent experience in my life, I have come to a obstacle to all philosophy - the living emotional application of it.
The most apparent one we begin with and indeed what most people out there struggle with is the emotional intellectualization of "Not caring about others opinions" As in instilling a confident presence in our every day encounters, for EXAMPLE.
The purpose of this post is to express my experience with philosophy and how it has lead me to this conclusion; beliefs are nothing, without being able to apply them.
It is because of this that I open the dialogue to any understandings about the application of belief in our everyday lives.
Understanding I have accumulated
Belief expressed is a vibration in the brain, which metaphorically exerts a precise meaning in the world and the situations we encounter and engage in. A belief literally changes the things we see and thus how our emotional centers react to them.
A feeling is a message from the mind to the body to coordinate movements quicker and more efficiently. Ie. When you get scared your body gets a jolt of adrenaline. In a public situation this may not be best and desirable, especially if we assume we can repress our fear.
Repression is a nessecary thing - only to the extent that there are logical, as in beyond our imagination reasons for the repression.
It occurs in a very ugly way in our world, because we repress wholesome and natural things, which indeed feed out lives with joy - ie. sexual expression(i am suffering largely from this right now I continually have to nullify a fear of desiring penis. More like i lack an understanding about my true nature.
Repression can be used to suspend an emotion into question once can understand our beliefs and their meaning in relation to our feelings.Anything else would seem unnessecary, unnatural, and stressful.
Deep seated beliefs can arise in lack of awareness of the individual and can be a great fucking to beginning a willingness to express new emotions and nullify crappy ones. These are the most difficult to re-arrange, especially because they lack any notion that this post is expressing. Ie. In our deep cultural beliefs lacks complete understanding of our emotions, with little mention into changing our emotions beyond - "Be confident, Relax. Its about Loving yourself"
The reason these things are useless, is because they only give a person a goal, but no tools to get there. Ie. Many people know that homosexuality is natural and acceptable, yet our emotions, especially as young adults do not reflect that and certainly my parents are not to blame, so much as their understandings about it.they lack understanding it takes to accept it, more than anything they themselves fear the quite and troubling ridicule you are met with in a public space.
Ironically the system of belief implanted in us by our culture, lack any understanding about the application of new and improved thought, it being a major road block in my life - these beliefs make it so much more difficult to change our emotions, because we go into lapses where we forget to dismiss an emotion as simply a message from the brain to the body.
The people we spend time around, express a huge impact on our ability, especially if they cannot see through the illusion and enslavement to limiting and irrational beliefs. It is crucial to adhere and take notice of this - especially because there are those that say one thing but express to much fear deep down to actually believe anything outside of the norm. Be weary of your emotions and listen to them whilst around others, thought patterns are much harder to see than emotions.
Watching our emotions can also pose another set of problems - we forget here that we can use our mind to create our emotions.
Guilt or feeling bad about feeling things that contradict what we know is true - is another great obstacle. What occurs when we feel bad about ourselves, is we begin to literally attack ourselves with emotional thrusts which leaves you very weak and depressed because your energy is being directed mostly towards attacking your emotional body. Naturally we attack the source of the problem - however because of our cultural beliefs, we assume fault and blame ourselves for most our problems that seem to stem from ourselves, when in retrospect they stem from the things we are using to express through - abilities, thoughts. Negative energy is natural and is best used as applied towards the real source of our problems, which is not our emotions but the things which are responsible for them.
The most important thing i could express through this post is to notice that it is not beneficial or efficient to stop thoughts that arise as interpretations. Ie. I dont care what people think.
Or I am not enlightened or I have an ugly body.
It is better to attack the source of our problems by stopping the thoughts that make it Logical to have these thoughts and thus feel the feelings which arise from them. Like when an Interpretation and the feeling it brings arises, such as the ones mentioned, it is better to forgo analyzing the interpretation and better to focus on the belief which makes it possible. Ie. My body is fat and ugly, I will never be loved. Is best followed with a FOCUS on 'the reason WHY we are all ONE. Instead of 'we are all one, therefore i shouldn't care or feel bad about myself for this..."
So instead of focusing on the thought itself, in the context of why we shouldnt feel bad about it - focus soley on the reason why.
Ps. Be careful in feeling guilty about feeling guilty or shame about feeling shame - they are the same things and feeling guilty itself and can be transfered over to a new emotion with a new understanding.
Ok. I am off, I will check this is a week.
peace

The mind is a creative tool. It searches to protect you, through message sensations(feelings). It is no different than a computer, you need to make sure its anti-virus program is in check and that it doesnt have a script that limits your experience, because of to much precaution.
And remember the computer does not appear to respond to words of anger and frustration - just give it input, in the form of new meanings that you know to be true and its messages to you and the limits it lays out for you, will change.
Guilt is an outcome of believing you are the cause of the problems.
Yet, we are not a cause to something, we see is negative or bad - Unless you believe your intentions are directed towards a bad outcome....
