Infuse Experience with Understanding

A man asks if emotions like sorrow and grief meant to be felt, or do we need to be detached from them? Rupert replies that this is often misunderstood about the Direct Path approach, where we initially turn away from thoughts, feelings, etc., and go directly back to simply being. That’s just the initial stage. Then, we must go back to the content of experience and infuse our human experience with this understanding, which includes thinking and feeling, as well as acting and relating. We actually open ourself up to all feelings, although we do find that our emotional life changes. We become more open, less defended. More human.
