I feel the wonder of your presence
We are alive in perfect oneness

Above instinct dwell emotions. Feelings flow through instinct, emotion, thought, and spirit.
| Spirit | F E E L I N G S |

What we feel, regardless of the feelings' respective points of origination (Spirit, Thought, Emotion, Instinct), can be prompted to flow to higher levels; feelings can transcend to the higher levels of self. Likewise, to encourage "good" feelings to move down, can enhance the state of goodness at the lower levels of consciousness. Love and bliss, for example, originating in Spirit, can flow down and comfort - and in time, minimize the strength of - fear and suffering originating in the lower levels of consciousness.
Bliss visits fear, embraces and comforts it; fear shrinks; the overall state of self improves, becomes more at peace. Harmony of feelings with each other, and with the self, at its various levels of consciousness, brings harmony of self. A harmonious self is happy and more loving and kind. Instead of thought looking at fear alone, thought can invite love and joy and bliss to meet fear as well. Together, there is much power.
