Development of the Element of Feeling

Development of the Element of Feeling is immersion in the flow of world life, when everything seems directly connected to each other and essentially united, because having immersed in this flow, consciousness reaches the highest peace, because everything is already revealed, everything is always there, however, plunging deeper and deeper into This flow, consciousness, opens menacingly gaping gaps, in which, although all the twists and turns of universal life can be seen, everything is mixed together in an all-consuming chaos, and if consciousness fails to stop in time and oppose the organizing Reason to the all-destroying Feeling, it fades away

At their core, emotions are aimed at understanding the surrounding world, they reflect the idea of ​​​​the “usefulness” or “harmfulness” of the phenomenon that generated them, in other words, they express the forces of “attraction” or “repulsion” that arise in the chaos of the circulation of life between its individual elements , short-term and transient, and individual properties of objects and situations, causing emotions, attune consciousness to appropriate behavior

Feelings also reflect changes in the Psychocosm, but these changes may not be associated with an external stimulus, in addition, they are more directed, since they arise in relation to someone or something, and not to the situation as a whole: “I am afraid of this person” - it’s a feeling, and “I’m scared” is an emotion, in other words, feelings are always directed, and emotions are targeted; feeling is a vector, emotion is a point; emotion is situational, feeling is stable

It is absolutized emotions that plunge consciousness into the abyss of world flows that dissolve individuality, and only the elevating influence of Will, as the highest element in relation to Reason and Feeling, makes it possible to give the Psychocosmos a directed, rather than chaotic, movement, because without this, fixation of emotions leads to immersion in the element, where glimpses of action flicker, where the triumph of peace and movement, immense possibilities and the futility of their execution, satiety with power and its eternal thirst create a special rhythm, bizarre, inexpressible, enchanting to the point of oblivion, but destroying the being
