Thought precedes emotion... it generally takes several lifetimes for you to understand this process and master?
it. It is only now many of you are beginning to understand that you do create your own reality.
Many have for so long held to the belief that the path to God is the path of suffering.
Suffering has served you by teaching you what you do not want. The new teacher is Joy.
This is the return of the Christ, the awakening of the God/Goddess Within, this is the dawning
of the new age. It is not an external event, but an inner event..........
Does this ring true for you, yet?

We are God's children. God is Love, Joy and Happiness,
I think that when we realize who and what we are, we will dwell in a state of bliss.
God made us in His Image: Perfect and changeless. Several things I have studied
teach that man can not change what God created. We live in a dream world
where we can dream that we are separate from God, and it it were true, it would
be cause fro grief and pain. But a dream is a dream - not reality.

It is a bit hard to imagine thought not being constantly present in the everyday world, before, after, and during emotion.
Even if you woke out of a dreamless sleep and suddenly saw a tragic or horrible scene, would the mind not be working at the same instant as the emotion? I'm trying to picture some scenario where emotion could come first.
I would disagree with Payne on this.
Also, suffering is, was, and will be everywhere, even for the realized master. The world is a suffering factory.
I think Payne speaks above the level of the ordinary man; we have periods of joy but it's not a new age yet.
If you have a body and you see it, you have not become one with God, whose nature is unlimited Joy.
