In fact, the analogy of a plane with an emotional state is much more valid than that between a plane and a geographical state — particularly since emotional states take up no room.

[...] You might also visit the states of sorrow and joy almost simultaneously, and experience both emotions in heightened form because of the almost immediate contrast between them.

[...] Because that view necessarily involved emotions, Ruburt felt some sense of emotional contact — but only with the validity of the emotions. [...]

He felt that the soul chooses states of emotion as you would choose, say, a state to live in. He felt that the chosen emotional state was then used as a framework through which to view experience. [...]

[...] The words just came to her along with strong emotional feelings that she connected with Jung.

(“Numbers have an emotional equivalent, in that their symbols originally arose from the libido that always identifies itself with the number 1, and feels all other numbers originating out of itself. [...]

[...] Here you are caught in a compromise of emotions. [...] The situation however is such that almost any clear emotion is automatically denied expression, shunted aside and often replaced completely by an opposite—all under the guise of the idea of (in quotes) “being good and understanding.”

Unconsciously the emotions are quite clearly picked up on all of your parts, and clear communication, bodily or verbally, almost completely cut off. [...]

Your mother realizes when she is pulling emotional blackmail on you, and recognizes when you come, willingly or unwillingly. [...]

Now apart from that, Ruburt has his own feelings, which are somewhat exaggerated, but he also usually tries to disregard them emotionally. [...]

[...] The emotional impetus however is lacking. In some manner perhaps in the future we can do something to build in an emotional impetus of some sort, as it will be conducive to success.

[...] My idea was that using such a design as a test would summon up a little more emotional involvement, since Bill was included along with Seth, Jane and me.

My emotional response however was quite legitimate. [...]

[...] He reacts to the emotional atmosphere, and his abilities will operate best if he feels that he is investigating these matters along with interested parties, than if he feels that he is being skeptically observed.

[...] I would like to make clear, of course, that animals certainly do have energy to maintain their own health, but this is strongly reinforced as a rule by the vitality of human beings to whom the animals are emotionally attached. The fact is, you were not able to give your dog that added emotional vitality at a time when he needed it most. [...]

[...] The fact is that the animals caught your emotional contagion, and according to their lesser abilities translated it for themselves.

[...] Even now, as I write about him over 16 years later, I feel a strong emotional pull toward him.

He felt himself to be a portion of the storm, however, and felt the storm as a vast magnification of his own emotional reality—even as he felt the body of the earth itself to be, beside itself, the magnification of his own emotional reality and that of others.

In your terms, with time, historically, he began to lose this identification, so that an emotional separation began to occur between man and the elements, between man and the other manifestations of nature. [...]

With that loss of identification storms for the first time became truly threatening, capricious, for man’s mind could not intellectually understand the intimate and yet vast connections that the intuitions and emotions had once comprehended. [...]

(3:23.) As I said before, the reasons for most physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional problems can be found in this one lifetime, and because of the nature of simultaneous time, new beliefs in the present can also affect those in the past.

[...] Most such persons are quite peaceful rather than violent, and their emotional experience may indeed cover nuances and depths unknown to normal persons.

[...] Ruburt blocked out emotional spontaneity, feeling that his father was lax. You blocked out emotional spontaneity, feeling that your mother’s was detrimental to creative isolation. [...]

Your father represented what you thought of as the secret, isolated creative self—more or less at odds with the world, unappreciated by it in family or financial terms; the alone, artistic self you thought unable to communicate, inarticulate and dumb, locked away from close communication with others, and indeed barraged by misunderstandings because of its very creativity—emotionally frozen, afraid to show itself.

Your mother represented the opposite in your mind—the emotionally explosive, suffocating immediacy, a female life and earthly ties, social commitment, homey chores and distractions that seemed to be directly opposed to solitary creativity.

You have had a schism, in which reason and emotion seemed to be opposites. [...] Yet as the approach of the scientific age appeared, before its blossoming, so new tendencies are now showing that do indeed signal a new era, in which the emotions and intellect are no longer regarded as opposing tendencies in man.

The next, psychic family dream represented an actual reunion of some Sumari family members, so that Ruburt would not feel so alone, but realize he did indeed have rich emotional connections with others, at other levels, and that he was part of a family of creative initiators, full of energy and vigor, who could go out into the world or cheerfully forget it if they chose.

[...] With what he has learned, and with that emotional touchstone, he has indeed made good strides, which are quite obvious for both of you to see. [...]

To some extent the perspective one, two, three material is related to Frameworks 1 and 2, for the symbols of your mind grow in their own fashion, changing shape and form, but following the emotional content rather faithfully. [...]

(Long pause.) With the growth of this particular variety of self-consciousness came the exteriorization, magnification and intensification of definite elements that lie latent in other animals, the individuation of strong emotional activity to a new degree, for example. The emergence of the “pause of reflection” mentioned earlier (in the 635th session in Chapter Eight, for instance) and the blossoming of memory along with the emotional intensification, led to a situation in which members of the new species recalled, in the present, the dead and the diseases that killed them. [...]

[...] Each of your beliefs, therefore, has its own unique origin and feeling patterns, so you must for yourself travel back through your beliefs and your own feelings until intellectually and emotionally you realize your rightness, your completely original existence in time and space as you know it.

[...] If a human was in a catatonic state after a battle, for instance, the “animal medicine man” would purposely shock the patient into an emotional reaction to bring him out of the state.

[...] Each of you must intellectually and emotionally accept it, however.

To begin with dictation: Your moods and emotions have greater mobility in the dream state. [...]

Disconnected from their usual daily attraction to physical events, your emotions will often form their own landscapes, utilizing dreams as their creative medium. [...]

[...] Overall weather patterns follow deeper inner rhythms of emotion.

(11:28.) Those in earthquake regions are attracted to such spots because of their innate understanding of the astonishing relationship between exterior circumstances and their own quite private mental and emotional patterns.

Such emotional nonphysical qualities are unstable, and affect the deep electromagnetic integrity of the earth’s structure. [...]

[...] During break we speculated about what might be learned from a computerized global study — one extending back to the beginning of our recorded history, say — to see what correlations could be discovered between earthquakes and periods of great emotional and social upheaval throughout the world…. [...]

[...] Quite a bit of emotion was attached to the memories. [...]

It was also excellent that one such memory carried with it a direct emotional response. [...]

[...] I do not want to rehash his entire early background, but it is important that he become aware of its emotional content. [...]

[...] There will be specific references that come to Ruburt, as today’s emotional connection did, which will again not only lessen what panic remains, but show that the panic itself has a more or less reasonable basis—not in some formless fear but in specific events. [...]

(To Ron L.) I am not looking for questions, but you have been the emotional mother that you are now trying to forget, and you have been swept by those emotions that you are now afraid to release, and you have felt them as a river and have been afraid of where they would lead you. [...]

[...] And that the emotions survive the body of which you are so proud. [...]

This is only a preliminary and you (Joel) and you (Davey) will be here for the rest of it, for I am only dealing with your attitudes and emotions at this stage and as you understand them. [...]

But there are dimensions that can never be understood by any algebra, whose basis rests upon emotional equations that can never be solved, or even approached from your system. These emotional equations however form effects that oftentimes react within your system. And your own emotional explosions appear transformed into mass within one such system.

[...] The personality is already immersed in a dimensional transformation; when the emotional need of those within the physical plane call out for communication, they add to the pull or force of the attraction still present, binding portions of the personality to the physical field, and can add to the resistance encountered by personalities in transformation.

[...] I had emotional high spirits at the time of the experience, as if I’d already heard.

[...] Emotionally accept them, then see them as natural phenomena in the same way that you observe the splendor and strength of a storm, and then let them flow out of you and outward into the great healing universe that uses both storms and emotions creatively. [...]

We are not speaking of an emotional striptease necessarily. [...]

[...] You are not willing, some of you, to accept and experience your own feelings and emotions much less those of others. [...]

Now, to some small extent this evening, you are learning to apply generalized emotions in a personal sense. [...]

[...] You, Joseph, do not realize emotionally how you can direct your energy to help him overcome what doubts he still has left. Intellectually you appreciate this, but emotionally you can help him, by bolstering him as he does others.

[...] They are more emotionally charged, more concise than thoughts, and they are directly connected with the mechanics involved in translating inner data to physical reality.

Behind these, so to speak, exist what you may term temperature pictures, in which delicate gradations of heat form ever-shifting emotional patterns that do have a semiphysical outline. [...]

Objects carry a strong emotional and psychic charge. [...]

[...] You must stop believing that the inner self is a dungeon of unsavory repressed emotion. It does contain some repressed emotion. [...]

[...] See how they were followed by your imagination and emotions. [...]
