Flavoring Your Stew

​Today let’s do another random tiptoe thru the Holy Wow! tulips. Picking up Volume I… The Blessing Is Being Here… opening to page 137. “Now here is something you are going to find fascinating. One way you can see the uniqueness of each human’s emotional packaging is by watching several people as they each have a completely different reaction to exactly the same stimuli.”
 
I have always found this fascinating. When you’re young… you believe everybody thinks, feels, perceives the same way you do. It doesn’t even occur to you they don’t. 
 
Getting older… experiencing more different people and more fascinating circumstances… you can’t help but see… one person can be tweaked and put off by the same thing another person finds engaging and hilarious. Each with our own unique emotional packaging… completely coloring how we experience our world.  
 
Many diverse ingredients make up each person’s emotional stew. One person’s upset or another person’s amusement have very little to do with whatever the stimuli, circumstance or interaction may be. Each person’s reaction(s) to their Life comes from the entirety of their own… karmic… ingrained… multi-experienced… self.
 
Karma… the nature you’re born with. Entering incarnation in your own particular emotional packaging. Your own inner wiring. Easily disturbed or agitated. Perhaps laid-back and chill.
 
Human emotional Life is not a linear excursion. Numerous additional factors are continually at play. Family… we learn a lot about what’s silly or terrifying from the family we grow up in. Society… what’s currently acceptable. What’s not. Our personal reaction to past experience is definitely stirred in. 
 
Each and all add flavor and spice to your particular stew. To your particular view.
