Self awareness, ( consiousness ), is the only way to travel RP.
Especially if Tina is right and ( Emotions + Intellect = Consciousness ).

There are 6 identified instinctive emotions ie - necessary for survival) that are common to animals and humans:
Anger/disgust/saddness/surprise/fear/happiness
We manifest these emotions in various degrees and intellectually describe them as seperate emotions and feelings: eg mild "fear" of strangers = shy
The animal experiences these things but does not intellectualise them: eg
A dog sees a stranger - wary - sniffs around to determine your emotional felling and if does not sense "fear or anger" will wag its tail "happy" and hope for a friendly Prof-pat.
