Defining Emotions update: January 15, 2008

Through this project, it is my determination to objectively organize and correlate all emotional states that can be verified through five primary emotions through trials and research efforts to understand their manifestations. There are many definitions for emotions, but if we considered all the feelings occurring inside the mind about thousands of reflections and memories, and assume emotions are only those that seem to be brightest or most vivid in visibility or sensibility, we negate how emotions truly may work.

Here is an example of a website defining emotions incorrectly. [Source withheld]

This is horribly wrong and misleading. A mood is a combination of emotional feelings that over time have become predominantly stronger or more noticeable, and could even be implanted. Telling people mood has nothing to do with emotions may be a little crazy especially if you've ever walked into a birthday party. Also, the expression of an emotion may only occur inside the mind, and another version is physically expressed and becomes detectable. This same little twist works in print also in a myriad of versions of expressions forming propaganda for the emotional states.

Emotion, emotions, emotional

Emotion is not well defined in the dictionary, but correlations to the truth exist between the lines of their interpretation worthy of understanding. They state that emotions are:

Any normal person reading this might assume emotions are totally subjective and don't seem real because the dictionary is telling you it is only in your mind. If you think about this for a minute, you can begin to understand exactly what is cleverly being said to you as a way to avert you away from particular meanings. To explain, let's begin with the synonym provided for emotions which is the word feeling, which is only associated with physicalism related to philosophical thinking.

First of all, our thoughts could be classified as completely 100% feelings, for we measure our thoughts outside the mind and expressed as records of time whether it is consciously known, or lived as an illusion, as in possibly unconscious reactions based on the current knowledge base. Your conscious effort of expression is emotion even without any effort. Your conscious can either be recorded in the physical world, or it is recorded inside the mind no matter what the condition is, as in some sort of effort to exist is needed, which will be discussed below.

So in realizing expression is evident in your life force, if we relate that to subjectivity, where does that leave you? If we believe the dictionary's interpretation, all our mental state is subjective, as in a dream, or dream state of reality, then what is the conscious attributed to? Where did the conscious mind get its effort from for the power to discern, as in expression?

One must concede the spiritual essence required to formulate a human, with a heart beat to burn a life time, and the conscious relationship to this source of power and ability to discern. This intense mental state of constant conscious or unconscious is processing energy fed into the mind, and a reaction is taking place that affects the entity of which ceases possession in less than a dozen decades.

Our effort to live a life is expressed as emotion, and interpreted for the value of the expression. This is a combination of the energy we bring with us from home base, [mother] and the motion we express represented in the pale world. Energy and motion are emotion as human expression, yet can it be this simple?

These inner feelings of thought are attacked psychologically by those who profess their own type of classification for [effort] that is averted away from these very states in the mind. I ask the simple question of why we have over 2100 words in the dictionary to describe all the type of expressions and conscious or unconscious efforts, or reactions to reality that relate strictly to these concepts?

If it were as simple as hate versus love, we could understand effort more clearly, but there are hundreds of emotional states that are not classified as being human, or being normal, and this is only aversion being applied as aversion.

People are being told that emotions are something that are unwanted and troublesome when that is an out right lie. Love is not unwanted. Joy in the heart is sought by all. The emotion that is suppressed as #1 on the list of [don't let this get out] is envy.

Envy is our fire control and yes, conscious effort IS REQUIRED. It is assumed that envy is ok, and we are only occasionally educated about its power and use it unconsciously. It is an intense mental state, but it is also 100% emotional, and is expression, even quite noticeable as another feeling.

If you ask a fireman about how a fire burns, they will tell you it is alive, and has mystical properties which allow it to do amazing and unexplainable manifestations. That sounds like our species of living.

These states of noesis need balance on a kind of noetic scale within. Intelligence comes with the discernment of emotional states of expression for balance of the species, otherwise the species is cycled similar to the way all other species cycle, often based on unbalance. If man were to assume our purpose in the universe was only to exist for a cycle and never again, then why has man the ability to express emotion in the first place? Who are we crying for?

Our nature around us, and the animals of the earth which sit below us in a noetic state are a lesson to understanding our expression, and realizing emotional elements are the marker or upgrade in software if you wish. Animal life below us still possess access to knowledge as we do, just not as much of it. They all have a spirit force of life in them. They have a physical existence that we perceive and sense their interaction with our existence. What they don't possess is a state of feelings, an expressive state or noesis of mind. If they did, they might speak to us, or laugh at us, or tell jokes.

Why have we forgotten this link and its relation to emotions of expression? We have forgotten envy and do not see it as dangerous especially when proud is pushing on the door and desire is taking a bath. These feelings have been talked about for centuries and today you have to pay someone to talk about words in the dictionary. As George Carlin once said, "What has happened to our values?"

Our values are based on that effort idea that was hanging around. It is the pushing forward into the knowledge black hole that attacks us, and keeps us pressing forward as fast as we can stand it. If we could get there at the speed of light, it would be voted in immediately. We are pushing too hard.

Our aversion to slowing down and breathing the last of any air the planet provides, correlates directly to the way our species grows, and the effort of it. We push so hard, we don't realize that our mating habits mirror this exactly. It's kind of the same push, or motion thing. It gets in your blood, it is in your blood, and our energy is the problem. But, doesn't that keep coming back to emotion?

The older derivatives of the word emotion are closely associated such as, motion, momentum, move, movement, mobile, moment, momentous, and remote. The word excite was also mentioned.

This inner energy of momentum is like a fire expressed and represented by envy alone, yet we must discern the fire, and all of these emotional states to know who we really are. How can we comprehend the time before us if we leave it behind so fast it is forgotten instantly? We seem to be in a race to explode our species. Other insect species are similar in approach to survival such as cockroaches. Has the human race become the equivalent of a cockroach noesis? Are we that afraid of the truth?

Fear also drives us forward in effort to survive, and our aversion to the fire is amiss. We need to slow down and smell the roses before the fire gets too hot to handle, and our partner in life, [earth] will balance the inbalance of humans. Our fear of survival is geared to ourselves, and the fear of us. We fear our own species more than anything else as our efforts also seem aversive to this evolution.

We seem to believe we must expand or we will die, and this is no better than a bug. Learn your mental state of envy and the power it holds over you and tell others it is the culprit of effort and demise.
