The difference between not feeling pain and believing that you do not feel pain is the difference between being able to enjoy yourself, create freely, and live without fear, or not.
People who think they feel nothing are especially bound by the fears they think they don't have. If you feel nothing, know wthat painful sensatiions are there whether you feel them or not. Keep looking. If you don't make this effort, the sensations will eventually break down the barriers you've constructed. You cannot create a life of fulfillment, joy, and meaning while you are barricading yourself from others and from the opportunities Life offers you. Walking through your emotional landscape without paying attention to what's there is like walking through a meadow without paying attention to what's growing. Before you become aware of your emotional landscape, all you can see are the intense emotions that grip your attention now and then. The more familiar you become with your emotions, the more easily you will be able to see how they remain the same, even though the circumstances in which they appear change. The circumstances that trigger your anger, for example, may change, but your anger does not. Energy leaves your energy processing system in ways that are specific to you. As you practice putting your sensations and thoughts together, you will recognize repeating combinations, enabling you to connect the dots and plot the map of your emotional landscape. Thought's from the Heart of the Soul - Meditations for Emotional Awareness by Gary Zukav and Linda Francis My apology for all the typos you may find as I am not doing copy and paste, but typing from a book.
