Sentimentally speaking, emotions are beautiful and a grand experience to be having as a human being. There are certain things about being able to express emotions that make for a lovely conversation, but realizing the value of having an emotion that only I get to feel with God is many layers more beautiful. As someone who has a fairly creative brain, I often think about the best way to express the emotions I'm feeling through music, but having a strong logic-brain leaves me attending to my own facilities in allowing myself to simply experience an emotion rather than cut it down and devalue it. I have certainly gotten in my own way regarding this, and that is because I feel I need to have a proper label to fully "experience" the emotion, but the problem with that is: linguistically there will always be a shortage of words and expressions to be able to adequately language an emotion well.
My friend and I have used sounds to express emotions to each other, and to say that it has been entertaining would be an understatement, because it's also very beneficial to not have to put a label on an emotion or language it in some intricate way to be able to seem mature. I love it. There is something both incredibly satisfying in returning to a child-like format of expressing anger, frustration, or sadness by only using the sounds of what the emotion feels like. It could be as a musician that I like the audial experience of having something to listen to besides just words, but it might also be more than that. It helps that my friend gets it when I can only verbalize the way I'm feeling with sounds.
Yet there is the uncomfortableness within me that says "did I really get the wholeness of the emotion that I'm now feeling inside all of the way out?" Normally, the answer is 'no' unemphatically and without hesitation. Why? To me, this taps into the previously suggested idea that there are just too many facets, too many untouchable parts to an emotion or a sentiment that it must be experienced as simply that. I know that previously I would've considered myself fairly lucid in the way I was feeling my emotions, but now that I've been on this journey for a better part of the year, I know that there is certainly progress I've made in the direction of allowing myself to feel entirely an emotion, no matter where it lands on the "good-bad" spectrum. People have been attempting for millennium to adequately get an idea of what the emotion feels, looks, tastes, acts, smells, sounds, and is like. I think that's part of the God-given design within humans, an inner desire to express ourselves. Yet I think that thanks to the fallibility of our nature, we've failed to realise that emotions are not just things, but instead resemble a sort of sentient mass. Trying to capture it in something that is either non-living or no longer alive fails to bring the life that an emotion inherently carries unless the authority of the deliverance process is granted by the God of the Ages.
To circle around the idea that these emotions are a pseudo-living creature that must be delivered through a birthing process might take some time, yet it could be a worthy topic to see emotions in that light for some time, and I hope that it gives you something to chew on for the next couple weeks. I know that for me and my process I typically take a matter or topic, and watch for the way the conversations around me sort of circle around that topic even without meaning to. To me, that's a big way God teaches me about the topics, and one of the main ways I receive confirmation within my spirit that I'm onto something.
