Being honest and true to our feelings is the only way to attain genuine emotional and spiritual wholesomeness. This is based on the Torah teaching that Hashem’s signature is the ‘Seal of Truth’ thus coming to our inner truth attaches us in turn to Hashem. Therefore it follows that if we are not truthful with ourselves essentially we distance ourselves from Hashem, the only source of wellness.
What are feelings? What are emotions? Feelings are the physical sensation of touch through either experience or perception; another words they are reactions to inner and outer stimuli. Emotions are a person’s state of mind and instinctive responses that are not impacted by anything. Our feelings are prone to change to fit into a given experience and environment. As a result we can easily drift away from our inner point of truth.
Who is the ‘real me’? The holy G-dly spark of Hashem within. Therefore, as we discover our true self in turn we reveal our inner G-dliness and as we seek out Hashem we find our inner truth. In that vein that is why when we do teshuva (which is equated to self-therapy and healing) we effectively get in touch with ourselves; as we wipe away the sins through the teshuva we remove the barriers that distort our true sense of being.
What is the process of reaching within and finding our truth? We need to be honest with ourselves and take responsibility for our weak points and transgressions. For example, ‘I know that I shouldn’t have done…. I need to make it a priority that I learn how to better control…’ From that truthful state we find Hashem and polish the illuminous diamond of greatness within.
