On Emotion

[Czymra]

Greetings Avalonians,

I've come to notice again and again that there seems to be a big definition hole within the movements of this forum. This might of course be a lack of wisdom on my own part but it still surprises me that among all the topics presented here this one appears only marginally (usually alien abductions).

What is emotion and how can we be certain about it's authenticity?

It is commonly accepted on these boards that emotion can be influenced by psy-weapons, as they call it, be it from the general electromagnetic smog surrounding us due to appliances or be it directly targeted by radio towers and the like.
As mentioned above, it is also quite common to suppose that extra-terrestrials or inter-dimensional beings can influence our emotion to such a degree that we would literally believe that what was happening to us was 'beneficial' while in reality it is quite the opposite.

I understand that this might be yet another meme planted to take all the danger out of these powerful movements, to implant fear of even feeling, and maybe that is already the core of the problem here. However I would like to hear what you think/feel especially regarding the difference between what one could call daily mood-swings and authentic emotion, a feeling of happiness and fun compared with the bliss of (let's say the Nexus 2012) meditation.

The reason I ask this question is two-fold:
1. My own emotion seems to be locked in both, a balance of stability that lets me do what I 'feel' I need to do, but also a rather narrow spectrum that I allow myself to feel.
2. The general understanding that feelings, or rather reactions, toward stimuli can be programmed and are in fact nothing more than associations.

I think that a major indicator is the amount of 'fun' and feelings promoted in dramatic plays within the media. I've recently come across the statement that before everything else, we have all become feeling addicts, be that feeling sex, eating, fun or anything else that brings us happiness (whether authentic or not doesn't matter here at the moment).
The attitude that was then suggested (by the source of the above statement) was to be more clinical about life, in a sense to cut out the 'pursuit of happiness' and follow what one perceives as one's purpose not being deterred by whatever emotion comes along.
As said before, I believe I am on exactly that course as otherwise I would be a very emotionally caught up person but furthermore because I do honestly believe that a balance is healthy.

I think I can turn in circles with this discussion just in my head, so I'll stop here and let you have your say.

Om Namah Shivaya
