Any plans to change Pagan Prayer Beads to show Sara's own name as primary author?
I'm glad for the opportunity here to discuss a deeper view of emotions.
JMG, last week you shared this illustration of an astral view of auras of people experiencing various emotions. https://ecosophia.dreamwidth.org/file/231132.jpg If I understand right, I need to ask you to include the picture here.
You explained that the astral aura patterns are the cause of emotions. Physical psychology is useful, but deals only with the effects.
1. Is this the same for animals who can experience emotions? For a contented cat, a determined dog, an enraged elephant, a loving llama, does the astral view of their aura look like a human's with that emotion? Is this why people and their animals tend to look and act more alike over time? Someone like Cesar Milan decides he's the bold pack leader, and dogs fall into line. In the astral, is he projecting his aura condition into the aura of the dogs?
2. What causes these aura patterns in the astral?
3. I know of two ways brought up in your work to deal with emotions. First, Octagon Society (and similar) material instructs how to psychologically introspect, to review when and how we chose meanings that shape our emotions. Second, archetypes metaphysically, symbolically link our emotions with greater spiritual forces. Rituals and meditation can guide us through these connections. Divination, from a system with a big enough vocabulary of symbols, can help show us what's going on.
Do these work because they use are mental plane actions, using the more comprehensive and powerful mental plane to rewrite the subordinate astral plane? Are there other major techniques to work with our emotions, or do the useful methods all fit into these two categories?
