Post No. 3,504 - Updated definition of “emotions” on my glossary blog

I have been doing more work on the book version of my course “Magickal Battle of World”, and am updating some definitions from my online glossary for the book appendix. 

I quite like my revised “definition” of emotions, so I thought I would put the key text sections here:  

Emotions are the verb to the noun consciousness, give existence metaphorical colour, and can make life wonderful, or dreadful.  

Even those who try to downplay or control emotions, such as “rationality” fetishists in professions such as engineering are actually often feeling emotions such as pride, satisfaction, or arrogance.  

Emotions can be described as states of being – but dynamic states of being, subject to adjustment from a wide range of inputs.  

As the world is when this is being written, physical lifestyles are, viewed globally, often a source of pain as a result of inequity, abuse, greed, fear, control, bad faith politics, etc. Against that there are the positive emotions of caring, community, art and beauty (which is always in the eye of the beholder), healthy Nature, and healing skills such as spirituality, counselling, and – well, healing.  

For the work of my blog which led to this book, and the context of this book, emotions are both (a) states of being and (b) nonphysical energies at the same time, and are capable of being worked with, and worked on, as I started addressing in, for example, my post  “Post No. 708 - How do I clear or channel specific emotion ‘X’?”   http://gnwmythr.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/post-no-708-how-do-i-clear-or-channel.html   

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlightopossible flaws / issues youoshouldoconsider: 

• there mayobe flawedologicaloarguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ freeoonline course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinkingocaps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generallyoneed to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgenderingois an act of activeotransphobia/transmisiaothat puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptoroto prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
