Emotions

The good emotions are so great and fantastic and of course give such a winged lift to life that they are absolutely indispensable. Now, naturally, before they arrive, we have already done something great by using the rest of our brain, such as creating or accomplishing something, falling in love, or just understanding the life in all things and the awe that goes along with that kind of realization.

So, these good emotions are often made in the long run and can stay with us, hopefully withstanding any lessor and intervening states of he mundane.

Bad emotions seem to come and go more often than being permanent, although some people may have made a life of them (what a grouch!), but, for the most part they are of molecular events gone terribly awry.

Yes, molecular events, of all the meaningless things, but those so overwhelmed by them may actually claim deep meaning to them… and soon end up in a bad place in a bad life ever getting worse.

…Many bad emotions are born of stress, not eating right, no exercise, working too hard, taking one’s self too seriously, genetics, and the amount of stability one has [or not] from life, enculturing, and upbringing.

Strangely, when very irritable, the brain often assigns the cause (again and again even) to the most recent happening, such as one’s pets and/or kids making some noise or some such normal regular thing. So, some then kick them across the room (not me). But, isn’t it the case that when you felt OK the day before, that these “noises” were not seen as any problem whatsoever?

Yes, it was your brain going awry, not the kids or the pets causing you to be irritated.

But you felt it! Yes, you did, but it was often just a spurious event. But you felt it! Yes, and how could you not trust your very own thoughts [feelings]? Because you fell for your very own thoughts, somehow thinking that you really thought them. Well, you did and you didn’t. They were merely the molecular events of your brain neurotransmitters going awry and not directing your brain traffic normally. Wrong signals were sent. You reacted, not even pausing to consider a more creative solution, for all thinking had halted. Yes, anger has no brains and the anxiety makes one irrational.

The cure: become an able spectator of your moods, seeing them from “afar”… Disbelieve your own thoughts! Easy? No. Doable? Yes. Witness the happenings. Let the parade pass by. Do not latch on.

Too much pride: Makes one feel too “special”, high and mighty and deserving [even of divine creation; had to get that one in].

Too much into self: causes failure to see circumstances but through the lens of one’s own ways and methods. Attempts to control. Do as I would do, etc.

Anger: call names; assualt; attack the player instead of the ball at ToeQuest; yell…

What others?

The word Emotion is an anagram hiding the meaning of E-motion. Emotion is energy in motion. It is created by particles of vibratory light. Emotion is the key of E in the Implicate Realm or E Sharp.
Particles transmit emotions we can read, for example the sense that we recognize great beauty in the depths of someone's eyes. We give off and receive emotion because emtion defines the individual soul. The vibrations of our soul and our emotions are correlated. It is through emotions the physical world meets the non-physical world.

These are Gerald O'Donnells thoughts on emotion and I understand it Austin because I experienced emotion as something on a higher level than feelings. I experienced myself in an emotive state where for the first time "I felt myself living in my own life." We think we feel ourself doing this but thats a mental thing, when consciousness unites with emotion, it is a sentient experience of having a higher awareness.

I'll take "is" as "said by someone", for I doubt that light particles (photons) are the chemicals that operate as the neurotransmitters that affect emotion, carrying brain cell signals across the synapse, by the way, as "known" by neuroscience (not "seems"). They've seen it! Whereas, the light-spirit stuff is not.

Yes, it was quite convenient for scientists to denigrate us down to nothing more than a brain, neurotransmitters, a bag of chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. It bought right into the pharmacuetical agenda to drug and control society for money making profit and wealth forever. All that finessed system in our head, nervous system, heart and organs are the environment the mind utilizes so it is an environment best left untouched by chemicals unless of course you have real medical needs. However, the pharmacuetical agenda is not about real medical needs, its about neurologizing human problems so they can be fixed by drugging and that simply works by taking human problems and creating labels like syndromes and ADHD and the like. It also works because its ideology which has the power to get into human belief systems. Those who study the social sciences know how to use them against us for their societal benefit....there certainly is no caring in it about others......

This is way off, Mikal, including the pharma talk, for these real and actual happenings in the brain were discovered for the sheer sake of knowing more about how we function. Pills came about later and are not at all the subject here. No denigration is attempted in any kind of science.

Pharmacueticals, like lipitor, which helps me, and even those for clinical depression have their uses. Not all SSRI drugs cleanly affect the exact neurotransmitters yet, and so there is a trade off sometimes.

Your analysis of connivence of denigration amazes me for one who researches. Are we not made of atoms, which are chemicals? Look at other organic life, such as plants. They have DNA and are chemical as well.

Were you not ever in need of any medicine to save your life or to help with an illness? Do you take aspirin? Do you deny what is known about ow neurotransmitters work? These things are seen and known completely.

Perhaps you could talk about the pharmacuetical agenda separately or somewhere else, as this was about the actual of the brain's neurotransmitters mediating the emotions…

Ever feel irritable and angry? These were your neuro transmitters going awry from stress, working too hard, not sleeping enough, getting little or no exercise, or even your own genetics shortchanging you.

Do not the stars make atoms which come to compose the functions of your organs, including the brain which commands so many of the body's chemicals?

Thanks Mikal for sharing that thought. It causes one to ponder. I'd like to share what I found on the internet ( Wiki ) on emotions:

Plutchik's wheel of emotions
Robert Plutchik created a wheel of emotions in 1980 which consisted of 8 basic emotions and 8 advanced emotions each composed of 2 basic ones.[1]

A big thanks to you Austin, great topic. But now you have to define for us your definition of EMOTIONS.( Mikals thoughts, my thoughts, yours? )

Are you Data or Spock, or are you a Captain Kirk?

Columbia Encyclopedia
emotion, term commonly and loosely used to denote individual, subjective feelings which dictate moods. In psychology, emotion is considered a response to stimuli that involves characteristic physiological changes—such as increase in pulse rate, rise in body temperature, greater or less activity of certain glands, change in rate of breathing—and tends in itself to motivate the individual toward further activity. Early psychological studies of emotion tried to determine whether a certain emotion arose before the action, simultaneously with it, or as a response to automatic physiological processes. In the 1960s, the Schachter-Singer theory pointed out that cognitive processes, not just physiological reactions, played a significant role in determining emotions. Robert Plutchik developed (1980) a theory showing eight primary human emotions: joy, acceptance, fear, submission, sadness, disgust, anger, and anticipation, and argued that all human emotions can be derived from these. Psychologists Sylvan Tomkins (1963) and Paul Ekman (1982) have contended that "basic" emotions can be quantified because all humans employ the same facial muscles when expressing a particular emotion. Studies done by Ekman suggest that muscular feedback from a facial expression characteristic of a certain emotion results in the experience of that emotion. Since emotions are abstract and subjective, however, they remain difficult to quantify: some theories point out that non-Western cultural groups experience emotions quite distinct from those generally seen as "basic" in the West.

PLEASE NOTE: INDIVIDUAL SUBJECTIVE FEELINGS.

Thank you Prof....now that you know the nature of your energy is 3 expressive and sensitive, that your 5 energy concerns freedom and discipline and your 8 energy concerns your own sense of power...examine all the situations that have framed your life...your energy attracted these situations, people and circumstances to enable you to learn about your own energy and how to use it postively to benefit your life.

A small tidbit in your lifepath which may interest you, I quote.."your early romantic relationships will not work, it is set for you to have your deepest and most rewarding relationship in the years between 40 and 60."

I quote..."your work will be the center of your life, and it helps you tremendously if you find self-sufficient partners who understand your dedication to your work from the outset."

Take those two statements and test the truth of their reality to the situations in your life and their outcomes.


All the best Mikal
