These unconscious assumptions generate emotions in the body, and these emotions will in turn generate further thoughts or actions. A negative emotion is one that is poisonous for the body, it upturns the balance and harmonic functions of the body. The carrier of the negative emotions within the individual is the Pain-Body.
By
Pain-Body, Eckhart Tolle means emotional pain. Apprehension, hatred, self-pity,
remorse, rage, depression, envyness etc. are all manifestations of the Pain-Body.
All emotional pains suffered by the individual during their life, remain a part
of the unconscious of the individual for the rest of their life. All negative
emotions, emotional suffering that the individual refuses to face, leave a mark
in their unsconscious. It is particularly difficult to face with, and to treat
powerful negative emotions in childhood. Such unprocessed emotional pains
constitute the foundations of Pain-Body. In the collective unconscious, every
individual carries their own share of collective human pain that also belongs
to the Pain-Body.
The emotional component of the Ego is constituted by the
unprocessed emotions concentrated in the Pain-Body. They occupy human mind.
Pain is unseparable from the Ego identified with the mind.
Ego means the
conventional, ordinary ”self,” which constitutes the common mistake in which
the illusory belief in the personal identity is rooted. This illusory self will
then be the basis of all mental processes, human relations and the
interpretation of reality. The structure of the ego is an unconscious factor,
which forces the individual to reinforce his/her indentity by joining an
external object. The content of the ego will then be the thing with which the
individual indentified him/herself (my house, my car, my child, my
intelligence, my opinion etc.).
The emotional components of Ego are different in every
individual; they are larger in some people and smaller in others.
At most people, Pain-body has a dormant and an active
state. Events that coincide with patterns of pain previously experienced by the
individual may easily activate Pain-Body. An apparently insignificant event may
active an old pain in the individual, retrieving thoughts and emotions caused
by old pains that occured several years previously. Physical or emotional
abuse, loss, a sense of abandonement may activate Pain-bodyparticularly easily.
Any enjoyment, emotionally high state also hides the
potential of pain in it, and this pain may with time be manifested. Enjoyment
may therefore be transformed into some form of pain.

With the Pain-Body Quiz, the Pain-Body Manifestation
Scale can be defined, which shows the quality of our Pain-Body.
The Pain-Body Control Scale informs us, how much
we are able to control the manifestation of our Pain-Body.
The
subscales of the Pain-Body Manifestation Scale (Exasperation, Grudge and Inflammability
subscales) show the structure and quality of our Pain-Body, what feelings
prevail, and what kind of dynamics those feelings have.
The elaboration of the Pain-Body Quiz
You will find the evaluation of the Pain-Body Quiz HERE
Your Pain-Body may have a lot
of manifestation forms, we could say, almost as many pain bodies exist, as
people on Earth.
On the basis of the completed
quiz, how could you describe your Pain-Body?
Don’t forget, that this is
only a game! The result of the quiz reflects the reality only, if the items of
the quiz were honestly answered.
I made this quiz as a scientific
research method, and this was only the abridged version.
If you liked this test, then please consider the Conscious Alertness Quiz.
