• I believe this was initially intended to remind the disciple that allowing the conscious mind to take the lead in one’s decision making processes is not especially good at keeping you in Morningland.

  I would tend to agree that one shouldn’t believe everything they think. The thought that is audible words in our heads are viewed with some suspicion by many spiritual paths. There’s even a bumper sticker that reads Don’t believe everything you think.

  However if you’re not going to believe everything you think, you should most certainly honor your feelings.

  Being at Morningland and feeling full of love and peace is a great reason to keep going. However many of us actually approached the temple with serious feelings of anxiety and dread. These feelings should be honored as well.

• When I started honoring my feelings, all the teachings about “trusting yourself” suddenly made sense.

  Honoring my feelings has become my third eye. I don’t see stuff that isn’t there, but I can certainly feel it. If I’m comfortable with something, I do it. If I’m not, I don’t. Simple as that.

  There are oodles of exceptions, things that I’m uncomfortable doing that I have to do, but I’m talking about when you’re confronted with a choice such as whether or not to trust someone or an organization such as Morningland. In these cases, feelings are all that matter in my opinion.
