The highest human emotion
|
|
| If you look in any dictionary or thesaurus you will not find it. If you look in the countless volumes of philosophies and books, you will not see it. For nowhere is it stated what is the single highest emotion of being human. | ||
| This may sound a complete impossibility- a fraud. For it is inconceivable that in spite of all the debate and constant questioning of human emotion for thousands of years, it appears that no one has bothered to define what is quintessentially the highest human emotion? | ||
| Yet this is effectively where we find ourselves. | ||
| 23.2.1 | The imperfection of love alone | |
| The first emotion you would have thought of when we mentioned the highest human emotion may have been the word - "Love". Certainly, many poets and religious leaders have spoken of the perfection of love. | ||
| Yet human love as a human emotion is far from perfect. We love certain kinds of foods that are bad for us. We crave certain physical affection, in spite of the conflicting emotions that mixed emotional partnerships bring. We sometimes love people who hurt us and hate people who are trying to help us. | ||
| Religious leaders commonly define their use of the word Love in more detail as a kind of "higher ideal of love" then going onto examples of this in action. With greatest respect, the actual "higher ideal" is never defined as a single word. With the greatest respect, the list of examples means dozens of words are used to describe a higher ideal that is never actually defined in word. | ||
| 23.2.2 | The mixed usage of the word life | |
| The second word that you probably though of was the word "life". Certainly, hundreds of great philosophers over the ages, in particular the new age movements of the 20th Century stated life to be the highest ideal. | ||
| Life indeed may be seen as the fundamental reason, or purpose as to why all things exist. But it is not a human emotion. It is a purpose and we are looking for a word that is an emotion. | ||
| Therefore, life cannot be the highest ideal emotion. It must be something else. | ||
| 23.2.3 | The mixed usage of the concept of a higher power | |
| The third word that you might have considered is a word for a higher power, whether it be UCA, UNITAS, God, Yahweh, Allah or something else. | ||
| Certainly an all encompassing word for a higher power must by definition include whatever the highest human emotion is, but it is a concept, not an emotion. | ||
| Emotions are physical combinations of hormones running through our bodies and affecting the operation of our conscious minds as well as our physical state of being. Therefore a definition of a higher power being the highest human emotion is incorrect. | ||
| 23.2.4 | The most esteemed of all humans-the hero | |
| As we struggle to grasp a single word so far that adequately describes the highest human emotion, we can state with confidence the highest example of the highest human emotion in action. We call this the action of a hero. | ||
| The hero myth | ||
| In every culture since the birth of mankind, hero myths have been fundamental to the development and sophistication of human emotion and therefore learning. | ||
| All hero myths have an underlying story principle and underlying display of emotion which is typified as: | ||
|
||
| The hero myth encompasses a range of powerful implications, sometimes lost on modern day story tellers. | ||
| For the action of thinking about yourself to then help others appears to be the essential understanding of the hero myth. | ||
|
||
| 23.2.5 | The highest emotion is ME | |
| You may ask, is there a hormone that can be secreted within humans we could call Me that has not yet been discovered, or verified? | ||
| We would say yes, there are many chemical packages that the human body has the capacity to produce that for the moment we have no idea of the mind and chemical triggers and their potential impact on the human body. | ||
| Most importantly, we are yet to understand the harmonic balance of emotions and their effective impact on the body and chemical balance of the mind. | ||
| The highest emotion being me, may well in fact hold the key to a range of hormones that provide an underlying cohesion and purpose to the packages- thus optimizing the internal messages of the body, thus resulting in better overall performance. | ||
| In other words, being honest to yourself, being yourself, being you should also by definition be a healthy state of being, a positive state of being- the highest state of emotional being for a human. | ||
| 23.2.6 | The proof that the highest emotion is ME | |
| Something that all who have read UCA see are certain underlying patterns that run strongly and consistently throughout the book. | ||
| We have become accustomed to seeing words and meanings have both underlying synergies, but also literal and numerical synergies- overall synergy. | ||
| It is no surprise that we should expect to see such patterns occurring with the highest human emotion of ME. | ||
| E=mc2 and emotion | ||
| We have already established that E=mc2 represents the fundamental mechanics of how the dream of life operates. | ||
| We also established that E=mc2 is the formula that establishes the link between awareness (knowledge and ideas) and mass (reality). | ||
| Furthermore, we established that emotion represents literally energis in motion, that in fact emotion is firstly a physical thing- not a conceptual thing. | ||
| Now we consider the word ME and EMOTION. We can consider the following argument | ||
|

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
| By definition, the first purpose of life is to think about yourself first Survival and sustainment | ||
| By definition, only by being yourself can you then help others | ||
| Being true to the full understanding of you is the best way. | ||
