Emotions
In the Gladys concept, emotions are very simple. They can be defined as the emotions of fear, jealousy, hate, and anger. Emotions are feelings that one has that are strong within the thought process of the mind power. Emotions do allow people to express how they are feeling; however, these negative emotions can be very destructive when expressed.

When you respond and react with the emotions of anger, jealousy, or hate, there is fear in your mind power. When you have fear in your mind and subsequently feel these emotions, you create distortions in your thinking. The intensity of these emotions expands as you go from one emotion to the next, adding one on top of another. You can then create further distortions. You are experiencing your reality and that reality is distorted because of your imaginary fears. This is why it is beneficial to release fear when one is experiencing an emotion, as this will stop the chain of thinking that leads to distortions and the escalating intensity of destructive emotions.


Envy
Envy is similar to jealousy. It is usually experienced prior to experiencing jealousy but is not as consuming as jealousy. Envy, if experienced without fear, is a fleeting feeling of desire. More often than not, though, envy is not fleeting, in which case it is an indicator that a correction needs to be made to release fear.


Expansion of the life energy
The Universe has different dimensions of energies. Each dimension that is a part of the Universe is perfect within itself. Each dimension of energy has a level of perfection in its experience. The energy of life experienced in its perfection would be experienced in a state of being of what we would call love and joy. The reason we desire love and joy more than any other experience is because that is the way we are supposed to be experiencing living.

The experience of living between birth and death is the activity that expands the life energy. The activities that expand the life energy are experiences of love and joy. Other activities in living do not expand the life energy. Expansion of the life energy is a concept of which many people are not aware. Expansion of the life energy in the Gladys concept teaches that it is of absolute importance for benefit and value in living.

If one wishes to expand the life energy, one must be free of fear and experience the state of being of love and joy.


Extension of the mind
Extension of the mind is an excellent tool one can use to assist others when they have fear. First release your own fear when you are concerned about someone else. You then extend that release to the other person(s) for whom you have the concern. When you use the tool of extension of the mind, you are assisting someone else in releasing their fear. Release the other person’s fear. You do not have to define or analyze either your fear or the other person’s fear. You simply use the affirmation. By releasing your own fear, you are correcting your mind so that there is no fear, and you are then able to release the other person’s fear without judging and measuring. You are sending a source of energy to them that will help make corrections to their mind power. Is this an intrusion into the other person’s mind? No, it is merely a source of positive energy that will assist them in making their own corrections. The other person does not have to be aware of the extension. Do this anytime you are worried or concerned about someone else. This is an excellent way to send positive energy and assistance.


F
Fear
Fear in this concept is defined as the fear of inadequacy and/or fear of rejection. These two emotions cause one to distort one’s thinking, and they negatively affect every minute of one’s day. If a person is experiencing the emotions of fear of inadequacy or fear of rejection, then the person is experiencing illusory fear.

This kind of fear is considered illusory because there is no real threat or danger to a person’s life. If there were a physical threat or danger, one’s flight or fight response would kick in, and this would no longer be an illusory fear but a real one.


Fear of
There is another aspect of fear that is relevant. Not only can we experience fear and the distortions in our thoughts that then occur, but we can also experience fear of and have the same distortions. Fear of is as damaging as experiencing fear itself. Both are illusory. Both negatively affect our thinking and distort our thoughts. Fear of is not the same as having fear. Fear of is what occurs when we create illusions about some future happening. We have a thought and we immediately insert fear of rejection or fear of inadequacy. We are not experiencing either one yet. We are only creating the illusion of fear of something happening in our future. When we have fear, the rejection and/or the inadequacy are part of our experience at that moment. Fear of is a result of the effects of fear and concerns something we expect to experience In the future.


Feelings
Feelings are “normal and natural” responses to thoughts or events. Some common feelings that we experience are resentment, guilt, acceptance, rejection, adequacy, inadequacy, happiness, excitement, exhilaration, grief, pain, and loneliness. Some of these feelings contain fear and some of them do not. We can have all of these feelings without severe consequences; it’s when fear attaches to a feeling that it destroys the value of the feelings.


H
Hate
Hate is a destructive emotion. Hate has the capacity of consuming one’s energy with negativity. Hate is not an emotion we should experience, as there is no value and benefit in it, and there is the potential for great harm. Destructive behavior towards self and others is often the result of hate. Because of the power involved in the emotion of hate, one must repeatedly release fear until the hate-filled emotions are gone.


Hope
Hope for a better world. Hope for a better self. Hope for loved ones. Hope for others. Hope is the basis for belief. When one has hope, then belief becomes part of the active thinking mind. Hope is a component of value in living. Where there is hope and belief, then trust is easily instated in the active mind.
