Excerpt from "The Nature of Personal Reality" 1974 - J. Roberts
Conscious thinking largely determines your emotions, and not the other way around. Your beliefs generate the appropriate emotion that is implied.
You are not at the mercy of your emotions for they are meant to follow the flow of your reasoning ... Your imagination of course fires your emotions.
As you think so you feel, and not the other way around. You hypnotize yourself constantly with your own conscious thoughts and suggestions.
