A basic source of emotional pain is what I call "Identity Confluence" or "Identity blending". We start out in life with undifferentiated identities. Gradually on we learn to differentiate between ourselves, our mother and our father. Most of the time, at one or more level we remain undifferentiated.
When we form bonding relationships later on in life, we again create an "identity confluence" on an unconscious level and the "other" becomes "I". Consciously we can make the differentiation but consciously we have a hard time. When the "other" evokes childhood anger or another emotion, that emotion gets directed back on the self at a deeper level because the "other" is not differentiated from the self. These "knots" can be fully untied through deep primal work.

To learn from emotion helps a person realize he is the creator of his thoughts and feelings. As you progress along the road to deeper consciousness, you move though the matrix of energy and gradually lose ability to experience amnesia. You can choose to influence not only your thought processes, but also those of others when love is the core motivation.
