Polarity vs. Orientation

[Shin'Ar]

I disagree that emotion is developmental.

You have what has been made conscious and what is still unconscious. The source of emotion is unconscious - for example libido or what not. In some manner this comes through to consciousness. For the less aware, this tends to be in the form of an unconscious reaction to something. But there is a process involved in becoming more aware and removing distortions. And one's affect is necessarily evolved. The temper-tantrum baby vs the temperament of the mature adult. The link I posted shows rather clearly the various stages.

That is like comparing the involuntary functioning of the heart to the voluntary decision to flatulate. I may choose emotionally to avoide causing discomfort to someone nearby by containing myself, where as I cannot emotionally choose to stop my heart from beating. I am really not sure of your argument here and how it pertains to my point that we all make emotional judgements with regard to how we interact with polarites.

I think after re-reading your post you may have been trying to suggest that the origin of emotion found in the Source as I proposed it was unconscious. Yet you vaguely suggest that in some manner this comes through to consciousness. I would ask you to clarify that in more detail because it seems to contradict itself. Or you must define what this "manner" is in which it comes into consciousness.

the point I am making here is that emotion is at the root of our very being, as the One Consciousness, and cannot be separated from the process od understanding and being able to balance polarity.
