I would be interested in getting you two's opinions on the role of feelings in time/space and space/time. If there is some sort of connection or bridge between the two.
note that I picked the word feelings over emotions.
to me, emotions are more surface phenomena, the turbulence that arises on the personality level. Feelings, however, to me, seem more core, as in the expression "getting in touch with your feelings", and seem to be a deeper driver of behaviour and process.
it's a side tangent, I know, but would be interested in hearing your thoughts.
thanks.
I'd use both terms interchangeably. You do
feel emotions after all (and emote feelings?). I take feeling as the capacity to feel across the whole sensory/perceptional spectrum, from strictly physical to extrasensory perception. So feeling is synonym with perception, sensation, awareness. And as with all things, there are gradients to feelings and emotions, from surface to depth, outer to inner, lower to higher.
We may also note that the word "motion" is embedded in
emotion. E-motion, as in: energy-motion. The ability to perceive/sense motions and fluctuations in your own energy fluxes, as well as the energy in other-selves and the environment around you. This is an innate characteristic of awareness; particularly, self-awareness.
I would only add that emotions are not only a feedback mechanism (like an insect's antenna), but they are also creative; that is: they have an
output charge as well. In other words: the way you think/feel/sense,
creates.
The great error is to believe one has no power over one's emotions. By
choosing (rather than merely reacting to catalyst) what emotions one prefers to feel every day, all throughout the day (
especially when challenged by seemingly adverse catalyst), reality around you will—by simple law of resonance—shift and align to match the strength of the energetic charge of your emotive, creative output (thus favorably resolving the catalyst). As you all should very well know, situations are not emotionally charged in and of themselves; it is
you who gives it the emotional charge, and thus create your reality (i.e. your conditions, situations and experiences). Therefore how you act/react to situations and catalyst, is 100% your choice/responsibility. This is how reality is created every day by every single 3rd-density entity on this planet, whether positively or negatively.
In short, feelings and emotions are properties of consciousness, of sentience. The more spiritually-advanced an entity is, the greater richness, depth and subtlety of emotion it will have/know/feel/experience.
Emotions and feelings go hand in hand with consciousness and thought itself. As Ra so elegantly said, you are dancing thoughts. And what is the Original Thought (Logos) if not a kinetic focus of intelligent energy? Kinetic: from Gk.
kinetikos, "moving, putting in motion." Energy: from Greek
energeia, "activity, work, operation," from
energos, "that which is active, at work."
Each mind/body/spirit complex entity is a thought; thought is energy, energy is motion; therefore every thought/action/energy/work has a kinetic, emotive, creative charge. Thus, you are co-Creators.
As for the role of emotions in space/time and time/space, I would only say that in space/time feelings/emotions are more mental-physical whilst in time/space much more mental-spiritual. The bridge is made when in space/time manifestation (incarnation) one turns consciousness inwards to the metaphysical realms, thus availing oneself to more "extrasensory perceptions" that allow one to work with the inner-selfness to more adeptly modify/change/create the outer experiential environment to match the consciously directed e-motions of thought into a preferred configuration.
