Changes

Our emotions are the waves of reaction and response which rise up from the basic consciousness. Their action too is largely regulated by habit and an emotive memory. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-instruments-of-the-spirit#p7</ref>

==What are the Different Parts of Our is Emotional NatureBeing/Higher Vital?==

The one that has no feelings against anyone is either the psychic being or the emotional being in the heart, the one that feels anger and is severe is a part of the external vital nature on the surface. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/practical-concerns-in-work#p21</ref> ==What is Emotional Being and Higher Vital?== The term higher vital is confined to that larger movement of the conscious life-force which is concerned with creation, with power and force and conquest, with giving and self-giving and gathering from the world for farther action and expenditure of power, throwing itself out in the wider movements of life, responsive to the greater objects of Nature. In the second arrangement, the emotional being stands at the top of the vital nature and the two together make the higher vital. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-vital-being-and-vital-consciousness#p11</ref>

In the ascetic Yoga all human feelings are regarded as illusory and have to disappear—"the knots of the heart are cut"—so disappear—so as to leave only the one supreme aspiration. In this Yoga the emotional being has not to be got rid of, but to undergo a transformation; the shortest way of transformation is to turn all the being to the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/human-relations-and-the-spiritual-life#p11</ref> ==Why is Emotion Necessary?==  Emotion is necessary in the Yoga and it is only the excessive emotional sensitiveness which makes one enter into despondency over small things that has to be overcome. The very basis of this Yoga is bhakti and if one kills one's emotional being there can be no bhakti. So there can be no possibility of emotion being excluded from the Yoga. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/bhakti-devotion-worship#p7</ref> ===For Collaborating and Surrendering of Lower Vital=== Yes, the higher vital is usually much less difficult to surrender, for it is under the influence of the mind and at times even of the psychic; so it understands more easily. It is much easier to convert this than the lower vital which is essentially the vital of desires and impulses. So, you see, what he means is that the lower vital can submit, it agrees to obey, to do what it is asked, but it is not at all satisfied. It is not happy; sometimes it even suffers; it pushes its revolt down into itself through obedience, but it does not collaborate. And unless the vital collaborates with joy and true love, nothing can be done; the transformations cannot come. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/7-july-1954#p9</ref> ===For Peace, Strength and Quiet to Bring the Higher Vital Alive===

When you are in connection with the higher worlds above the mental, with the mental and the psychic or even with some of the higher vital planes, then there is the peace and Ananda—but connection with the lower vital worlds can easily bring disturbance and unrest, so long as your vital itself is not changed and made full of peace and strength and quiet. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/inner-experience-and-outer-life#p12</ref>
