Emotions don't start in the brain? Where, then?


Initial early findings/musings, think that emotions come from hormones. Brain mapping... experience... label raw emotions, that may or may not have anything to do with the mental label.

The brain is a two-way conduit. For example. You can imagine that breaking your arm would hurt, yes? But until that experience actually happens, which is independent of thought or labeling... you won't actually KNOW.(label)

The action must proceed the thought/label... ouch... the fcking hurts.

It is theorized, that our higher brain function is more reactive than active. Otherwise, we would come out of the womb with full ability to reason. We learn to reason. Otherwise... we are just feeling/thinking beings... like animals.

The actual test are beginning to bear this out.

For example. If one in under hypnosis (or asleep even)... the startle factor is still present. But our ability to 'recall' the event is directly related to our level of awareness. Hence, anethetesia. (sp?)


ie., Hormones: The Sixth Sense. And THEY happen in dif parts of the body, which can be related to 'chakras.'
