Emotional energy is powerful. It drives us through insummountable odds and keeps us alive when we are hanging by a thread. Emotionless humans Live alone and Die alone. Emotions are wonderful thing. Riding on the incandescent high of love, or realising the sadness or anger you feel at a death or inustice is just a call to grow. Nothing more. You have done nothing wrong by feeling emotions.
I agree with Brutha, things are hard to internalize. Just because YOU tell me to do it won't make it so.
and to be honest "The Probabilist" I don't care much for your presentation of this idea. You begin by putting us in a negative, defensive mood and then expect us to take what you say seriously? fat chance!
The only reason no one has gone totally psycho on you is NOT because we realise you are talking the truth but because we are in fact already open to this subject, you are merely reinforcing already present beliefs and understandings.
Should you open this up to the public they would rip you several new ones because you write with arrogance and ego (which by the way is emotion).

Because the second and last step is simply choosing for yourself what kind of emotions you’ll start feeling. You are the unbeatable master of your own reality! You create, change, manipulate and control whatever you choose to feel.

and then, let me guess, Odins valkyries come and wing me to the halls of Valhalla? Its not as simple, nor as quick, as you say it is. You don't just BECOME the master of your universe, its gradual, painful and hard. Granted I do create my emotions, but are you saying that, if someone shot your whole family dead, even for a second, you wouldn't be sad/angry/furious etc...etc...before your noble, idealistic Emotionless facade took over?
Just think about it.
