“Through meditation and the right attitude, one allows emotions to happen to oneself (it is impossible to prevent this), but one is advised to observe the emotions without necessarily acting on them; one achieves some distance and decides what has value and what does not have value.” In the context of the passage, which one of the following is not a possible implication of the quoted statement?
Explanation:
Option (a) is incorrect since the lines specifically refer to "emotions happening to oneself." Therefore, experiences such as "out-of-body" occurrences resulting from meditation are not relevant in this context.
Option (b) is a valid implication as it is explicitly stated that through meditation and the right attitude, one can allow emotions to occur without taking action. This implies being a passive recipient of experiences.
Option (c) can be seen as a valid implication because the passage mentions that the second movement involves deciding what to do with the emotion. By observing emotions from a distant perspective, as described in the quote, one engages in thinking and control, aligning with the concept of the second movement.
Option (d) can be considered a valid implication because the lines explicitly state that distancing oneself from emotions enables the ability to determine the value of things.
Hence, option (a).
