    It is impossable to say that the entire complexity of the human emotional structure, has been mapped. The emotional language is still in a very primitive form. Considering life in general, have you ever experianced a feeling that -dispite your best efforts- you cannot describe? a feeling or an emotion that you have never felt before? an emotion which does not yet, and may never have a word to describe it?

    The only way to truly know a persons current feelings is to be able to connect with them mentally, this may or may not exist (depending on your perseption of what is, and what is not possable) We have invented numerous ways of conveying emotion, i will not go in to detail (you may if you wish) but these ways are vague unless you are portraying what I like to call "simple" emotions, or emotions that have single word meanings:disturbed, afraid, sad, angry, happy, affection or love, and so forth.
    The other emotions I speak of are P.C.E's or "personal complex emotions" which are emotions you are feeling, that have no word to describe them. One can try to explain but it would take a good essay with a brilliant mind to be able to describe half of its true meaning. These feelings also are quite quick to be felt before they are gone, usually leaving the person in a state of confusion; often asking "what was that?, that strange feeling?"

    Another faucet of this Idea of "unknown" emotions is that, our brains are only organic, and highly subceptable to "glitches" and problems typical to that of the living world, such as disease, or chemical inbalences or just a misfiring of the synapses,causes these emotions. After all our brains are just pieces of meat that eventually rot with time, decaying in to the earth to be one with the chemical invironment. Machines however provide a veiw in to a world that doesnt exist in the physical rhelm of our minds, this world of information can be shared with a precision that the human mind is not yet capable of(telepathy) machines/virtual information and human brains/minds do have one thing in common though, a physical and non-physical entity.
    The physical entity of the machine side, is the machine itself.
    The physical entity of the human side, is the brain.
    these physical parts are connected to their non-physical counterparts(mind, and the virtual rhelm)

    There seem to be 2 emotional states. Regular and fearful. Do you think there are any more?

    Who cares about spelling? I'm talking about what you posted.
    I'm not sure how to describe anger as a real emotion.

    Try and get the basics nailed, before you attempt philosophy, else you are wasting your time.

    Just because it doesn't have a name that you are aware of doesn't make it less indescribable, how can one have an emotion and not produce whether it was more good (i.e happy, energetic, euphoric, spendid etc.) or bad (i.e angry, depressed, confused etc.) also people feel different thought in different ways, but if you feel it why must you describe it, just whether it is an appropriate response to the situation at hand.

    ah so like when you are with someone with the same thrive of energy it becomes more than just simple, like if someone was to say thank you after letting them cross the street, or when you look into someone's eyes your thoughts are being brought up cannot be linked to the actual emotion that has be presented here for. I would say that mind, body and spirit are highly desirable but it takes time and patience I assume to be able to get into with one's emotions.

    One would wonder why we need more machines to do things when we hold the greatest machines of all time. There are "norms" in society that decide ones susceptibility and place by there mentalities and social reactions. We have created something out of nothing, but everything is out of everything. if one must contemplate there true emotions they should understand the truth and contain it into a wide idea of emotion value.


    ...I'm in a rush for work, this will have to do for now, just um respond and I will answer or whatever later.

    Hiya Iamhere,

    (what is your first language?)

    What are you trying to say? That emotions form reality?

    I have awaken from dreams with emotions I have never felt before nor can describe many times. I think of it like a little witch creating the emotions in my head-cauldron. When I'm awake she follows the recipe book. When I'm sleeping she mixes and matches ingredients to produce unique results.

    Just in general we haven't fully understood the human brain yet.

    English is my first language I'm sorry to say. I can speak it extremly well, but when it comes to writing it,well, I have a tougher time with that. (i must sound like a complete 'tard T-T)
    Oh well i will learn, at least I'm getting some feedback.

    Not exactly, just that we are all emotionally stupid...Just kidding. More along the lines of we have more emotions than we can describe. (philosophy is the art of asking "why", not ridiculing others for doing so)

    you use the words feelings and emotions interchangeably. are they interchangeable? or are they two complimenting elements? is a feeling the physical result of the brains emotion? you used the phrase "what was that. that strange feeling" which sounds pretty physical to me. maybe "indescribable" feelings are the result of multiple emotions that get tangled on the way to becoming feelings.... after all, how common is it for someone to only have one single emotion at time?

    Firstly, I think you should do a little research - you don't come across as particularly well-informed.

    Secondly, I don't really understand what you're trying to say - that there are emotions that have not been experienced yet? Or that there are emotions we don't yet have a name for?

    What are you trying to achieve by making this thread?

    There are physical changes independent of thought. They are distinguishable feelings. I can definitely pinpoint fear. I can pinpoint my state when I am calm. I can also pinpoint agitation. Then there are states of nervousness/anxiety. I noticed that these states have nothing to do with what I am thinking. I could be thinking the exact same thing, but could be in any one of these states. Not sure if there are others.
