the
catalyst used by the
control center to
monitor physical
action. The
relay system, via glands, interposed between "I" and
self and, by
thought, others. The
main emotions are
happiness, in which one has
confidence and enjoyment in his
goals and a belief in his
control of
environment;
boredom, in which one has lost
confidence and direction but is not defeated;
antagonism, wherein one feels his
control threatened;
anger, wherein one seeks to
destroy that which threatens and seeks without good direction beyond
destruction;
covert hostility, wherein one seeks to
destroy while reassuring his
target that he is not so seeking;
fear, wherein one is catalyzed to flee;
grief, in which one recognizes
loss;
apathy, in which one accepts
failure on all
dynamics and pretends
death. Other emotions are a volume or a lack of volume of those named.
Shame or embarrassment are emotions peculiar to groups or
interpersonal relations and are on a
level with
grief, denoting
loss of
position in a
group.
Emotion is the
glandular system
parallel of
motion and each
emotion reflects
action to gain or
lose to
motion. At a high
level one is sending back
motion, at a mid
level one is
holding motion, at a lower
level,
motion is
sweeping through and over one.
