It speaks to both the mundane and more esoteric aspects of emotions, which is significant whether one's simply seeking more mundane personal growth or deeper 'spiritual growth' that leads to Awakening.

The difference is subtle & to some this can seem like a distinction without a difference but this isn't the case. The last sentence in the passage speaks to this well.

My thanks to Etienne's for sharing this excellent on emotions.

//7B
'...neutral Feelings, they should be regarded “ACCORDING TO REALITY” (i.e. as impermanent, unsatisfactory, not self). The former kind of neutral Feeling here refers to “carnal [worldly] equanimity”,'

/8B

//6B
...the 'highest emotions' such as affection, devotion & compassion but they're without desires 'tainted by of the Self (ego) that leads to karma.

The 2nd part of this passage speaks to this indirectly with this well said, 🗝️ and profound notion:

/7B

//5B
A last consideration is in relation to good & bad karma, which arise from acts of subjective volition. Both arise from such acts and keep us bound to the Wheel of Incarnation. There is 'no karma' when we act without subjective volition & we only manifest...

/6B

//4B
By noticing short term/immediate ones we can turn our attention Within to find the thoughts that gave rise to or triggered them. This way we can work towards 'clearing' or releasing them. We accelerate our growth and development this way.

I also take into consideration both the short & long term affects of them & that they're manifested by thoughts and don't arise independent of them. The only caveat is that 'matter in our emotional body' can be activated by physiological stimuli - ex. hormonal changes.

/4B

//2B
'Lower' emotions are comprised of 'matter' that is coarser/denser and hence less vibrant than 'positive' ones. This is somewhat akin to how Buddhists view them by their outcomes:
'...it is considered negative; if it brings happiness in the long term, it is positive'

/3B

👍🙏
When it comes to emotions I get the different views of psychologists and Buddhist have on them. Mine is somewhat a mix of both and while I have used the terms negative & positive in regards to them emotions exist on a continuum like the electromagnetic spectrum does.

पलको में रहने दो सपनो को
उन्हे तो हकीकत में बदलना हैं
इन आंखों की तो एक ही तमन्ना हैं
की हर वक्त आपको मुस्कुराते देखना हैं

One of the #benefits of #equanimity is that we get to fully #enjoy the present. In so doing time 'slows down' and we get more out of life.
