Sentiments of the Being
Master Samael says that with the astral body one can feel the
sentiments of the Being.
The sentiments of the Being are what are true or what
reflect the truth.
Sentiments are different to emotions.
As the truth does not change the sentiments of the Being do
not change, they continue of the same quality reflecting the same truth.
Emotions
Emotions come and go and change.
In the humanoid condition that is without the Being (human
soul or higher) or without the state where we have the essence as the centre of gravity, we mostly
experience emotions which we confuse as being the sentiment of the Being. We
confuse these emotions as being expressions of truth. But they are not
reflections of the truth because they change.
We feel at night that something is ok,
but come the morning it all changes and it feels different. We feel we love and that
that feeling of love is true, but it changes etc. etc. We may feel something about a thing, activity or person and we feel that that feeling is a true perception but it later changes, showing us that what we felt was only an emotion.
Conclusion
The point of this post is to be weary of the emotions, if
they seem to be reflecting a truth about something or about ourselves just
wait. If they change, it was a subjective state producing subjective emotions,
but if they remain then they could well be sentiments of the Being and perhaps
there is an astral body there involved. But it yet has to be confirmed and known
with more concrete evidence before conclusively concluding that to ourselves.
End (1089).
