Emotions in the context of Big Mind
As we find ourselves as pure awareness and then Big Mind, our experience of and relationship with emotions also changes.
Identity and emotions
When I am exclusively identified with my human self - or a part of my human self - I have little choice but to be repeatedly caught up in emotions and other experiences. I try to hold onto some, push away others, and am neutral towards another group. I am an object in the world, struggling with other objects including emotions and experiences, and this struggle is often experienced as suffering.
When I awaken as pure awareness, as the Witness, I allow them all to come and go within space - as any experience and the whole world of form. They all come and go on their own, as guests. I am free to engage with them in various ways (for instance using their energies for action in the world) or not.
And when what is awakens to itself with no "I" anywhere, the whole world of form is revealed as emptiness dancing. As some of the many masks and forms of Spirit. The content is the same as previously - the same forms and experiences - but they are revealed as emptiness, as Spirit.
Emotions, qualities and energy
Another aspect of emotions is how their qualities are revealed and their energy applied.
Exclusively identified with my human self, emotions are seen as good or bad, positive or negative. I want some and try to hold onto them, and don't want others and try to push them away. In either case, their energy - and the energy "I" put in to manipulate them - often comes out in behavior, and a somewhat "blind" behavior at that. I tend to be somewhat at the mercy of inner and outer circumstances, acting and reacting out of habitual patterns.
Finding myself as pure awareness, I am more free to engage with content - including emotions or not. I can use their energies for action, within the context of space & awareness. There is less reactivity here, or more accurately - there is less blind engagement with reactivity. That too comes and goes as guests, within this stainless space & awareness.
And when what is awakens to its own nature, with no inherent "I" in any segment, then it all becomes emptiness dancing and there is even more freedom in whether to and how to engage with content and emotions.
In the last two cases, emotions can just unfold in space - as they are, or we can actively engage in them and here the qualities of the emotions tends to change.
Anger becomes directed forceful engagement. Dullness becomes resting as what is, with clarity. Jealousy and envy becomes rejoicing in other's happiness. Attraction becomes a realization of that too as me, at human (in terms of characteristics) and Big Mind levels. And so on.
