Charles L. Whitfield Quote
2) Beginning to Explore At Level Two we can begin to explore our feelings. Here we may be guarded in sharing our newly found feelings, and they may come out in conversation disguised as ideas and opinions rather than actual feelings. At this level interactions with others and our ability to experience life and grow remains low, but it is greater than where we were in Level One. While most people have feelings and would often like to express them, most people do not do so and thus live their lives in a low awareness and sharing of their feelings, limited to functioning in Levels One and Two. This limited use of feelings is what the false self is accustomed to.
