"positivity" is the natural datum - the "one thing". And there is a positive evolution. Negative is due to the illusory separation to this dynamic and natural condition. This artificial separation can be described in many ways - discomfort, irritation, dislike, abandonment, control, domination, prejudice, dishonesty, etc.
One constructive criticism of this methodology is that there are a great deal many more words in the "lexicon" which express negative emotion, than positive emotion. As far as I am aware, there is no mechanism in place to account for this bias toward negativity.
Have you ever considered that emotions at that level of language. whether positive or negative, are dualistic and reflect a transient condition of imbalance anyway. The one that focuses on the "positive emotion", will necessarily be pushing "negative" into the unconscious. That's the nature of emotion.
When we strive to instill or promote transcendence or inspiration we often confuse "positive emotion" with spirituality. Why? Because it "feels good" and that unconscious reaction of emotion is the closest thing we've experienced to a positive reality. We see such efforts of spreading emotion in the elevationist youtube videos, which are designed to induce a state (of 'release').
