from Chopra:
"Don't censor or deny what you feel: On the surface, everyday life has become much more comfortable than ever before. Yet people still lead lives of quiet desperation. The source of this desperation is repression, a sense that you cannot be what you want to be, cannot feel what you want to feel, cannot do what you want to do. Acreator should never be trapped in this way. No authority looms over you to enforce repression; it is entirely self-enforced. Any part of yourself that you cannot face puts a barrier between you and reality. Yet emotions are entirely private. Only you know how you feel, and when you stop censoring your emotions, the effect goes far beyond feeling better. Your aim is not to experience only positive emotions. The road to freedom is not through feeling good; it is through feeling true to yourself. We all owe emotional debts to the past, in the form of feelings we couldn't allow ourselves to express...You don't have to return to the person who made you angry or afraid...The purpose of getting rid of emotional debt is to find your place in the present. |

| good stuff...easier said than done for those who lived in an environment where it wasn't safe to feel during childhood, yet it is very possible to get to where Chopra is speaking of with much practice, persistence and patience |
