#Feeling #Steps: 2020-02-20
- Stimuli (developments, events, happenings, incidents) get our attention.
- We make contact with these stimuli and have feelings (sensations) about them.
- We then think about these feelings and what they mean for our safety, story, and progress.
- Based on what we think about these feelings, we then choose responses to the stimuli in order to increase or decrease them.
- All of these steps are prompted by impulses that we are mostly unaware of because they are often energy-based, nonverbal, instinctive, and primordial rather than consciously intentional.
#Emotion #Thought: 2020-03-15
- Thoughts do not cause emotions because the cause of emotions is sensations.
- Thoughts do interact with and recall emotions by naming sensations.
- Thoughts do feed and maintain emotions by reminding the emotions of sensations.
- Thoughts do embellish and exaggerate emotions by naming sensations in extreme ways.
- Thoughts do select things to have emotions about by highlighting sensations and making them important.
#Emotion #Sensation: 2020-03-16
- Emotions come from contact with sensations, not thoughts.
- Emotions are fed and maintained by sensations, not thoughts.
- Emotions are focused on and interested in sensations, not thoughts.
- Emotions are recalled and remembered by sensations, not thoughts.
- Emotions are chosen and selected by choosing and selecting sensations, not thoughts.
#Important #Sensations: 2020-03-17
- Sensations are the basis of meaning and purpose [feelings are sensations about sensations].
- Sensations are more important and taken more seriously than thoughts.
- Sensations naturally persist longer in memory than any other psychological phenomena (sensing, images, naming, identifying, judging, thinking).
- Sensations have a greater effect and impact than other psychological phenomena.
- All psychological phenomena are eventually about sensations in order to claim intention and meaning.
