 %UNEXPRESSED BAD EMOTION FEELING THOUGHT BIAS LOVE 901203

     Much    of  our  disintegration  originates  in   our
attempts to avoid  the  expression  of negative  emotions,
feelings, thoughts, etc.

     Some  people  believe  that to be positive  they must
avoid  th  expression  of  their  negative  emotions   and
thoughts;     that  to  be  positive  and  acceptable they
must   express   only  positive  emotions   and  thoughts.
Such beliefs  lead  to disintegration.

     Often   our   attempts  to avoid  the  expression  of
what  we  regarded  as  negative  emotions and   thoughts,
lead to  unrecognized  expressions of them,  which in turn
lead other  people   to  acquire  them  without  conscious
recognition   or  evaluation  of them.  In the  absence of
conscious expression of emotions and thoughts,  they often
spread like a disease which  sets many people ill at ease,
and  occasions   many recognized diseases in  unrecognized
ways.

     We need to  learn how to  respect  all expressions of
feeling and  thoughts as means to wisely dealing with them
in  open and honest ways.  Only when feeling and  thoughts
are openly and honestly expressed are they out in the open
where  they can  be dealt with wisely.   When feelings and
thoughts are imprisoned  in the dark corners of our lives,
they  can  do  all  kinds  of  damage  out  of  sight  and
consciousness.   Being ignorant of our hidden feelings and
thoughts does not help us deal with them wisely.

     We  need to  recognize the unspoken values and ideals
which lead   us to avoid the expression of  many  of   our
emotions     and      thoughts.        Many     scientists
compulsively value objectivity to the exclusion of  honest
expression    of    their    subjective       experiences,
perceptions,    feelings and thoughts.    The  dynamics of
scientists'   impersonal life style  needs  to  be  openly
and    honestly   examined  to  recognize    the    tragic
consequences which  flow  from their  unspoken  values and
ideals,   which lead them to avoid the  expression of many
of their emotions and thoughts.
