EMOTIONS PURIFY THE SOUL
-by Rav Michael Laitman
Question: It is said that negative emotions can cause illness. Is this true?
Answer: In our world this is absolutely possible, but not in the wisdom of Kabbalah. In the wisdom of Kabbalah, emotions only purify the soul. This doesnโt mean that we must hold onto negative emotions, enjoy them, or become involved with sadomasochism, not at all in any way!
We need to constantly try to be in positive emotions, not because we are afraid of negative consequences, but because that is how we express our desire to be in bestowal and love, like the upper force, which is good and does good. We want to be in such a relationship with the higher power so we can feel each other better.
