Feelings are, through and through, simultaneously and interactingly, phenomena of both bodies and nervous systems. #tsot19

Special class of global organism systems: immune, endocrine, circulatory, nervous systems. #tsot19

I want so badly to be able to do useful things with my https://keybase.io

We often end up learning that an emotion is happening not as the triggering situation unfolds but because the processing of the situation causes feelings. #tsot19

We can envision the activation of a [brain] region as the “matching” of a certain content with the region. #tsot19

Emotive responses triggered by the properties of sensory stimuli tend to produce, more often than not, a quiet perturbation of the body state.
Emotive responses triggered by the engagement of drives, motivations, and emotions often constitute major perturbations of organism function and can result in major mental upheavals. #tsot19

When the body responds to brain messages that command it to engage in a certain sequence of actions, the body alters varied aspects of its physical configuration. As the brain constructs representations of the altered organism geometries, we can sense the alteration and make images of it. This is the source of provoked feelings. #tsot19

Hi Monday!

Feelings are experiences of certain aspects of the state of life within an organism. A moment-to-moment report on the state of life in the interior of an organism. #tsot19

There is no be-ing without a spontaneous mental experience of life, a feeling of existence. The ground zero of be-ing corresponds to a deceptively continuous and endless feeling state. #tsot19

We live part of our lives in the anticipated future rather than in the present. #tsot19

So much of what we commit to memory concerns not the past but the anticipated future. #tsot19

The order of the introduction of objects and events and the nature of the respective descriptions relative to magnitude and qualification are decisive for the interpretation we make of the narrative, for how it will be stored in memory, and for how it will be later retrieved. #tsot19

Once images are made and processed even at an elementary level, they can guide actions directly and automatically. #tsot19

All mind is made of images, from the representation of objects and events to their corresponding concepts and verbal translations. Images are the universal token of mind. #tsot19

Our perceptions and the ideas they evoke continuously generate a parallel description in terms of language. #tsot19

For once in my life, I'd like to use the word "complex" and legitimately refer to emergent behaviour.

My gosh, writing is hard work. 😥 I think I gave it a good shot tonight. Will keep trying.
