Salient issues: ▪︎ Can one experience negative emotions without suffering? (If not, what the heck are emotions?) ▪︎ Seems really good to not say to people "your emotions are bad, don't have them". ▪︎ Emotions may be more like physical sensations than ideas‽

Things I'd need to answer: ▸ What the heck is happening when someone cries a bunch and then something releases and it feels good after and traumas appear cleared out? ▸ Is crying from being moved by beauty bad‽ If so, why? ▸ Mourning? ▸ How else do you solve deep trauma?

New followers—my thing is a kind of relentless 'positive' focus: - all problems are soluble - feeling bad is bad & unnecessary - feeling bad sabotages thought - it's always possible to solve problems w/o things getting worse - local maximum traps are myths - Step 1.

The idea of my whole philosophy is to get away from authority (/force) deciding between ideas. Rather, using merit instead. This includes ideas within one person, and subconscious/inexplicit/emotional ideas. So there's a question: Does crying = badfeels = stuckness = coercion?

Why crying, instead of something like meditation where you stop judging your feelings (or yourself for having feelings)? Oh, crucially and not said explicitly above: When I say "bad feelings are bad", I mean *the state of reality that is perpetuating them is bad*.

So, when I looked at "The Mind Illuminated" it seemed like once you got past the initial intro to meditation (which is common to many traditions) it was detailed instructions for how to dissociate. (I think
