There has been progress in all these parts [of the being], but they seem to be subject still to a response to the suggestions of the hostile forces. Everybody gets these suggestions, but they ought not to be allowed to enter inside, especially in the heart, or to be accepted by the vital. Evidently, they enter through the physical mind (from the throat upwards means that) and affect the surface vital and emotional being. You must get the power to reject them from there by a constant and steady denial and refusal of their suggestions. So long as anything in you says "yes" or accepts, there is always the possibility of a return. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/attacks-by-the-hostile-forces#p28</ref>
=The Difference between Psychic and Emotional Being =
Emotion belongs to the higher vital, not to the pure psychic. The psychic is a steady flame that burns in you, soaring towards the Divine and carrying with it a sense of strength which breaks down all oppositions. When you are identified with it you have the feeling of the divine truth—then you cannot help feeling also that the whole world is ignorantly walking on its head with its feet in the air! <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/the-ordinary-life-and-the-true-soul#p4</ref>

…this inmost soul, that is, the central psychic being, influences the superficial parts of the consciousness (superficial in comparison with it: mental parts, vital parts). The purest mind, the highest vital, the emotive being—the soul influences them, influences them to an extent where one has the impression of entering into contact with it through these parts of the being. So people take these parts for the soul and that is why he says "the inmost soul", that is, the central soul, the real soul. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/3-august-1955#p9</ref>

The surface of the heart centre is the place of the emotional being; from there one goes deep to find the psychic. The more one goes, the more intense becomes the psychic happiness which you describe. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-psychic-being-and-its-role-in-sadhana#p17 </ref>

It is through the emotional being that the psychic most easily expresses, for it stands just behind it in the heart centre.

=Role of Psychic=
And yet the true emotive soul, the real psyche in us, is not a desire-soul, but a soul of pure love and delight; but that, like the rest of our true being, can only emerge when the deformation created by the life of desire is removed from the surface and is no longer the characteristic action of our being. To get that done is a necessary part of our purification, liberation, perfection. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-instruments-of-the-spirit#p7</ref>
