Which is better - Mindfulness & Mindful Loving, or Emotional Intelligence?
Do these have different purposes, or maybe these complement each other?
Or maybe both?
Development.
I've decided to learn both Mindful Loving, as well as Emotional Intelligence.
Being a Buddhist, Mindfulness practice seems more important - so i'll learn it sooner and probably will progress more into it, than into Emotional Intelligence.
... but then, 'Intelligence is Sexy' too.
Books & Dedication.
There are books I need to read, but parts of my Mind oppose this.
Today, however ... thoughts appeared in my Mind, I had conversation with friends in my Mind.
Skipping details, it was that a good friend of mine (Hannah Ł.) will help me to overcome obstacles, so i can read these books / whole books, not only parts - this time /.
In return, I will dedicate part of 'good karma' gained from reading these books to her - i will offer for her some spiritual aspects, aspects of Protector friends, that can appear somewhere in holy paints that represent her & her friends.
On holy paintings, these aspects would take forms of Black Coat and Red Flames that surround.
Other Protector's aspects should also appear as time passess, but i am not ready to offer these to her ... yet.
Rest of 'good karma' gained from reading these books will be dedicated to Lama Ole Nydahl, to other friends, to myself, and to a Buddhist woman i Love.

Black Coat.
'Black Coat', also named: 'Mahakala' is Buddhist Protector.
On holy paintings, central figures do not wear black coat, but Protector is sometimes included somewhere around central figure.
Red flames (representing emotions as love or wrath) appear around Mahakala, and around other Protectors.
Here's how Mahakala looks like (on holy paintings):
