What Scott says

You have to be good at sadness to feel love, healing. That is a progressive level-based thing. Spirit is not. Humanness is, meaning you can't feel anger in any real capacity if you are fully repressed your shame.

It doesn't work like that. You have to be good at shame to feel anger. You have to be good at anger to feel sadness. You have to be good at sadness to feel emptiness.

You have to be good at sadness to feel love, right? It's much more linear, progressive kind of level-y, right? So that's where I think the confusion is coming in. There's aspects of the process of spiritual evolution that are gate-kept or mitigated by your own human capacity.

And so when the human capacity limits the spiritual expression, it is kind of linear and level-based, right? Yeah.
