I've begun re-reading my RUOW books that I haven't read for years... This is a quote (in part) from Book 1 - page 111
<>Feelings are not something exterior like other experiences....<>
<>The increase in denial has mainly taken place in this way: rather than rejecting experiences that did not feel good, many Spirits rejected their feelings toward these experiences instead. Feelings are only responsive. They they do not cause an experience to be unpleasant.<>
