What this book knows
Emotions are not eruptions that overwhelm us but intentional, magical acts through which consciousness transforms an unbearable world.
mind-and-cognition
The world may also appear as magical: one acts on things by means of magical acts, by emotion, by belief, without rational instrument.
STFE-RC-057Emotional conduct is not effectual. Its aim is not really to act upon the object but to change the world through magical behaviour.
STFE-RC-041embodiment
Emotion is a phenomenon of belief. Consciousness commits itself to the new world it has constituted and suffers from the qualities that behaviour has outlined.
STFE-RC-049Emotion is not the accidental modification of a subject surrounded by an unchanged world; it involves a complete alteration of the world.
STFE-RC-056self-and-identity
Consciousness has no thetic consciousness of itself as abasing itself to escape pressure; yet a non-thetic consciousness of itself remains.
STFE-RC-050We subscribe pre-reflectively to emotion as a wave crashing over the self, endorsing that responsibility does not extend to the having of emotion.
STFE-RC-005Illuminates
