What are the negative and positive emotions?
If you become aware of a certain emotion,and by your becoming aware emotion dissolves,it is negative.If by your becoming aware of a certain emotion you then become the emotion,if the emotion then spreads and becomes your being,it is positive.
Awareness works differently in both cases.If it is a poisonous emotion,you are relieved of it through awareness.If it is good,blissful,ecstatic,you become one with it.Awareness deepens it.
So to me this is the criterion:if something is deepened by your awareness,it is something good.If something is dissolved through awareness,it is something bad.That which cannot remain in awareness is sin and that which grows in awareness is virtue.Virtue and sin are not social concepts,they are inner realizations.
Use your awareness.It is just as if there is darkness and you bring in light:the darkness will be no longer there.Just by bringing light in,the darkness is no longer there,because, really it was not.It was negative, just the absence of light.But many things will become manifest which are there.Just by bringing light, these shelves, these books,these walls,will not disappear.In darkness they were not;you could not see them.If you bring light in,darkness will be no longer there,but that which is real will be revealed.
Through awareness all that is negative like darkness will dissolve – hatred,anger,sadness,violence.Then love,joy,ecstasy,will , for the first time, become revealed to you.
