To utilize one's No Emotion feeling effectively, one must always be aware of the dangers of over-dependency, inappropriateness, and misperception. This is true of the expression of any emotion. Be aware of the following, in particular.

1. Personal laziness can lead to a dependency on using No Emotion. Time and energy must equally be spent on the clear identification, expression, empathic and constructive use of all major emotions --- if, one is to attain and retain one's balance and spirituality of presence..

2. The expression of No Emotion during a crisis, discussion, provocation, or injustice --- is often experienced as authority, dominance, autonomy, and even manipulation ... by others not so gifted. It is your responsibility to convert this misperception and fear into teamwork through the use of empathy, feedback, questioning, and empowerment of others.

3. Know that those who are unfamiliar with No Emotion and who are patterned to use statements and actions in order to manipulate others through emotional reactivity --- will seek to challenge you into destructive reactiveness by referring to your expression of No Emotion as "indifference".

   Your knowledge of the benefits of No Emotion will assist you in avoiding this trap of emotional dependency. Spiritual strength, self-control, assertiveness, belief in a goal, perseverance, and trust in one's Higher Self ... are the opposite of indifference.
   
   
   

4. No Emotion expression is powerful.
   Any MISUSE of it in the service of your Ego for the purposes of manipulation or deception will confuse your identity to yourself and others. You cannot serve two masters. Choose to serve your materialistic Ego ... and fail in your Life Purpose, or, choose to serve your spiritual Higher Self, and succeed. Both your identity and your life choices are clearer and stronger when you are consistent.

5. When No-Emotion is sought without respect, your Ego may deceive you through impersonating the emotion with its substitute "objective rationalization." Protect against this Ego pride and concern by first choosing to enter a state of Reverence.
