Maybe this will help...we are spirit beings(electro-magnetic energy fields) having a HUMAN experience. I am not a Human Being, but a spirit BEING human, and in that BEING of human I am given these wonderful expressions known as emotions....as well as the free pass card called CHOICE. Everyday we have this card, we choose to create each day, each moment, each experience. When I find myself in the human being mode (ie...caught up in the expressions) I stop and remember who and what I am. You can ask the Universe for markers if its hard for you to remember, markers to remind you. also,they say what you resist, persists....try not to beat yourself up for being human...it really is a wonderous and joyous experience. The fact that your asking shows you already have the answers...trust yourself !!!!
