“Emotions are never reactions. They are not reactions. They are communications, and they are not presented after an event. They present themselves simultaneous to your objective creation.

“As you offer yourself an objective experience, that is one avenue of communication that you are offering to yourself, and the emotion is another avenue of communication. ... They are both paralleling each other, and the emotion is a communication. It is an expression offered to you as a message concerning what you are creating in the moment.

“The feeling, as I have stated previously, of the emotion is the signal. In the signal is the message. But if you are not receiving the signal, if you are not responding to the signal and receiving the message, the signal continues. ... Or, it may continue in the same intensity or lack of intensity. It may not escalate, in a manner of speaking. It may continue in the same type of expression. At times, it MAY escalate. It is dependent upon the importance of the message.” [session 764, January 24, 2001]
