What does Magdi say about feelings?
Artificial intelligence, analyzing the Youtube recording:
Magdi states that feelings refer to bodily sensations and associated thoughts. For example, anger might involve a bodily sensation and the thought, “Why did they do this to me?” while happiness might involve a sensation and the thought, “Wow, that’s great! I got the promotion”.
Magdi describes a feeling as a phenomenal event, meaning it is of the mind and appears within awareness. Feelings have different shapes, shades, colors, and associated thoughts; anger is different from jealousy, which is different from the feeling of winning the lottery.
When discussing the relationship between feelings and bliss, Magdi distinguishes feelings from the ground of being, which includes peace and happiness (meaning nothing lacking). Freedom (no opposition, oneness, love), and peace (no conflict or existential questions) are described as absolute. In the realm of illusion, there are opposites like happiness and unhappiness, love and no love, but these arise from the illusory sense of a separate self.
Magdi suggests that consciousness is completely free from feelings. Feelings appear within the vast field of awareness, which is you, but they do not define you. Similar to how images appear on a screen without affecting the screen itself, feelings arise and disappear in the space of awareness.
Magdi points out that trying to fix a feeling on behalf of someone experiencing it is futile because there is no real separate entity experiencing the feeling; there is just an arising, like a weather system appearing in space.
According to Magdi, the more one is free from the illusion of separation, the less one will experience feelings. He also notes that there is a cultural tendency to idolize feelings, but love, for instance, is not fundamentally a feeling. In the absolute sense, the experience of love is not a feeling but is what you are, synonymous with is-ness and reality. In the illusion created by the “me bubble” of a separate self, the experience of love can be perceived as a personal feeling.
Magdi differentiates between universal attributes of consciousness, such as a “sweet sadness” and grief, and personal attributes like anger, envy, and jealousy. He states that these negative emotions are deeply rooted in the “me belief” and the sense of separation, rather than being attributes or aspects of consciousness itself. These are part of the “game” of veiling and unveiling consciousness through identification with form.
