What is negative emotion? (New Earth)

"What is negative emotion? An emotion that is toxic to the body and interferes with its balance and harmonious functioning. Fear, anxiety, anger, bearing a grudge, sadness, hatred or intense dislike, jealousy, envy - all disrupt the energy flow through the body, affect the heart, the immune system, digestion, production of hormones, and so on. Even mainstream medicine, although it knows verty little about how the ego operates yet, is beginning to recognise the connection between negative emotional states and physical disease. An emotion that does harm to the body also infects the people you comine into contact with and indirectly, through a process of chain reaction, countless others you never meet. These is a generic term fro all negative emotions: unhappiness."
