What Role Do Emotions Play In Consciousness?

Emotions are biological states associated with all of the nerve systems brought on by neurophysiological changes variously associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioural responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure. There is currently no scientific consensus on a definition. Emotions are often intertwined with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, creativity, and motivation. Research on emotion has increased significantly over the past two decades with many fields contributing including psychology, neuroscience, affective neuroscience, endocrinology, medicine, history, sociology of emotions, and computer science. The numerous theories that attempt to explain the origin, neurobiology, experience, and function of emotions have only fostered more intense research on this topic.

    This notion of “the heart” being the center of emotion is actually intriguing- most people see this as a metaphor not the anatomical beating physical heart - however - there are many documentaries, anecdotal accounts of heart transplant recipients being transformed by the “emotional, feelings” associated with the donor -the physical heart actually carries emotional imprints/energy memories! absolutely fascinating ��

    Interesting question. We seem only to witness the result, when we can identify which emotion we felt. At its core, I believe what motivates us, begins in our hearts followed by the mind.
    I think too the last speaker made the most sense. He mentioned this 'space' that was only recently addressed or discovered has many names. It's been called the Quantum Hologram, Nature's Mind, the Matrix and the Field. For me, I'll go with what he said Stephen Hawking called it ... 'the mind of God'.
    Also, in thinking about the original question, maybe we could also ask if our emotions cause us to dream during sleep?
    Thanks for the thought provoking. Do you know the names of the speakers in the video?

      In Astronomy it is called 'Dark Matter' and 'Dark Energy'.

The Conscious Electromagnetic Information (CEMI) Field Theory

Image
Consider driving along a familiar road. You may be listening to the radio, thinking about some problem at work, but your brain is busy performing all the complex computations necessary to control your limb movements and maintain your car on the busy road, unconsciously. You spot a hazard sign 'Roadworks Major Congestion Ahead' and immediately your conscious mind takes control, to slow the car and perhaps try to find an alternative route home. What is it that is taking control in these situations? What we need to look for is something that is a product of the brains activity, that integrates information but which also has the power to influence that activity. Surprisingly, we have known for years that such an entity exists within our brain. The neurons in our brain transmit electrical signals along and between nerve fibers. It is always assumed that the electrons and neurotransmitters moving down these nerves are the movers and shakers of neuronal computation. However, all elect

Dreaming Is A DMT Experience

Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT , is a potent psychedelic drug commonly found in nature. DMT is also produced by our brains and contribute to a wide variety of experiences. Scientists have also been intrigued by the possibility that DMT would be involved in, for example, the generation of psychedelic experiences or dreamlike states. This video will briefly examine the physiological function of endogenous DMT from a pharmacological perspective. You can get a chemical version of course, and the resulting trip or hallucination is very profound and many would say life changing. But there's a problem with reading loads of peoples stories about DMT and I think by reading and hearing about peoples stories, you're actually changing what might have happened to you if you'd never heard the stories. The same can be said of lucid dreaming, if you constantly hear things like 'when you lucid dream, you'll be met by the terrifying sleep paralysis demon' then you start to believe it

You Are The Universe

Image
The universe is a reflection of consciousness. Everything in your life, your reality and your experiences is like an audition for your attention just as celestial bodies orbit around the sun. Your thoughts, feelings, perceptions and sensations depend entirely on the energy you invest. That which you ignore ceases to exist in your experiential realm. The challenge arises from the unconsciousness with which we often navigate this process. Anything that transpires in your life need not become your experience if you choose not to lend it your attention. This may sound counterintuitive but it's a fact worth considering. When you refuse to invest your attention, events and circumstances lose their impact on your vibrational frequency. In the realm of the Law of Attraction, thoughts are often touted as creators of reality. However, thoughts in and of themselves are empty vessels, they simply vie for your attention. You hold the power to energize them by saying "yes" or dismiss t
