________________ 182 Unlimited Horizons Emotional Cycles Intense emotions we attach to persons, objects or events, always tell us that we want to experience the entire scope of insight they offer. And this always includes 'the other side of. the coin' as well. When we direct impeding moods towards others, we program this very moment to also experience how our emotions feel from the 'receiving' end. When we e.g. feel bored or discontented, we easily envy those whose lives are happy. If this prompts us to diminish or ruin the happiness of others (to not be alone in our misery), we not only program the same gloom we feel now for our future, but over and above that that our joy of life gets ruined with similar intensity. This is not some kind of 'supernatural revenge', but a highly precise, incorruptible process destined to make us aware of the exact effect our actions have on others. The Forgotten Cause Our 'contract' to also experience 'the other side of the coin' activates automatically as conducive conditions arise in our life. Yet much time may pass between our original engagement in an (egoistic) action and our chance to experience it from the receiving end'. We thus may not recall that we ourselves caused the (possibly uncomfortable) situation we are confronted with. If we then again react with negative feelings, we maintain an endless circle that - actively and passively - manifests ever the same intense emotions.
