Your observation around emotions seems to render them a nuisance factor. An aspect of self we must control or ignore or deny. Is the purpose of emotions just to remind us to be mindful and nothing more?

Our society is one of controls and limits to keep us controlled and limited.

The secret is to realise no one makes us feel a certain way, we choose that way, sometimes it's necessary to check our path, but often it just sprials out of control and becomes a new crappy friend that likes to hang around. Then we feel comfort in the victim mentality and then that affects eveything else.

The LoA (CM) is simply thoughts (choices) and the output of those thoughts, if we feel guilt and shame, then we manifested the output that generates those feelings, so we have to deal with it, but we must never dwell on any negative.

Something good can always come from something bad, out job is to find it.
