The 3 Actions of the Feelings

The previous section explained that feelings are waves which:

• our minds perceive as sensations
• our bodies perceive as forces

Since ideas are just bunched-up waves, then we make an analogous classification of:

• the Actions of the feeling-mind
• the Operations of feeling

3 Actions of the Feeling-Mind

We list the feeling version of the 3 Actions of the mind compared to the thinking version:

1. Flow

The most common action of the feeling-mind is flow which lets us:

• feel differently at different times
• feel the feelings of others and vice versa
  • This is easily seen when we see someone cry or laugh.

The minds of all men are similar in their feelings and operations. We are all affected to some degree by what affects others. In wound-up strings, the motion of one string communicates itself to the rest. In the same way, all affections:

• readily pass from one person to another, and
• beget correspondent movements in every human creature.

2. Force

This is most obvious with strong emotions that oppose each other. This has been explained in depth by various philosophers in various way.

Our innovation is to:

• distill the forces of the feelings just as we distilled the forces of Physics through our Medium-Substance-Quanum model.
• apply Descartes’ Rules of Motion onto the feelings

Pride and humility happen alternately depending on their causes. If these 2 encounter, the stronger one annihilates the other. Only the superior one continues to operate on the mind.

3. Memory

This is seen in either extremely Negative experiences that lead to trauma, or Positive ones that lead to joy. This is the cause of personality disorders such as:

• Antisocial behavior
• Obsessive-compulsive behavior
• Schizophrenia

The alien Sassani species no longer uses physical memory. Instead, their minds flow directly to the information within the aether (i.e. akashic records). This is why we regard memory as the crudest of the 3 actions of the feeling-mind:
