San Diego

"You gotta care how you feel. Now having said that, we want you to care how you feel, we just don't want you to beat yourself up about how you feel. We don't want you to feel bad about feeling bad. We want you to feel glad that you know that you feel bad. We want you to feel glad that you are aware of your guidance, because now you've activated your awareness of which way is the way you want to go. When Jerry and Esther are in Yuma or out there in the desert - they are not mad that they are not in San Diego, because they know they are on their way to San Diego! And so even though they are not where they want to be, they have not yet reached their destination, they are not mad. They are just aware that they are not there. And that's what your emotions mean to you. They are not the basis with which you club yourself over the head and pronounce yourself unworthy. They are the basis, they are the basis, they are only the basis. Let's see if we can really be clear about this: They are only the basis that determines the direction of your movement. They are not there as punishment, they are not there as warning bells in the sense that you are being warned about something, they are only there to help you determine the direction of your course, you see. We don't see you get into your automobile and be angry because the gas tank appears to be empty. We don't see you sticking a happy face sticker over it because you don't like to see the empty gauge.."I feel better not knowing that"...(laughter) ...instead, you're glad for the indicator, because it causes you to be able to do something that's gonna make your life more comfortable, and you've got this gauge going on all the time - that is your emotional gauge that lets you know wether you are moving in the direction of what you want or wether you are moving in the direction of what you don't want. And so as we move on now, we want to leave you with these concluding words, cause this is the part that as you get it, you will be a deliberate, powerful creator for ever more: ...g-o-o-d feels g-o-o-d... (laughter) ...and not so good itsn't so good. In other words: The way you feel matters."
