I can see that

What I strive for in my spiritual practice is a experience of connectedness to 'the whole deal' and that can bring forth emotions in me like; hope, calm, peace, content,... The experience itself seems like a state of 'being' rather than a state of depending. Regardless of my emotionally state, my spiritual experience remains independent of my feelings and not depending on how I feel.
