We often think it is others that make us feel happy or sad. We are like the guitar that Master Samael wrote about, where he said that people can play any tune on us that they wish, a tune that makes us to vibrate with feelings from happiness to sadness.
The mechanics by which we feel happy or sad are all within us. What's more we ourselves are the ones who operate this machinery.
Well, it is our subconscious that operates it. But we can come to be in charge of it.
If others are happy around us we feel happy and we do positive things for ourselves and also others as well.
If others are unhappy with us, we get worried and we stop doing good things for ourselves and others.
We lack the power to be independent of those two circumstances...
If we just notice that it is ourselves that give ourselves like a kind of good feeling towards ourselves, we can take that power into our own hands and not let the ego control it.
We are the ones that produce a bad feeling towards ourselves too. If we stop that and generate the good feeling towards ourselves consciously we help ourselves to combat this abrasive tendency of feeling unhappy when others are unhappy with us. It is hard work but we have to start somewhere and this is a good start.
Also, the degree to which we feel unhappy about others all depends on how much esteem, respect and importance we give those others who are unhappy with us.
