I understand well. My mh counselor found me overly intellectual - definitely wrapped up in layers of analysis and logic. I only felt breakthroughs when I began to embrace emotion (pun intended), although I had some earlier success with self esteem. I've written about a lot of it here along the way.
I'm happy for you as well, and it is great to meet another of the folks I would happily stand beside, peering out into the abyss. If I cannot feel your emotion, I can still support your journey.
Yes - it's nice to know there are other explorers out there. 🫂
Is it possible that what you call emotion, encompasses what I call frequency?
All actions, thoughts & feelings carry a frequency. It's the frequency we're perceiving through our senses.
It is possible - and again, maybe more similar to what I have thought of as field energy. Kind of like magnetic fields or light diffusion, but I feel there there are many field energies that we experience. And the energies work with each other, so a disruption or change in one field energy can have an effect on another field energy.
Would you consider yourself a materialist? Based on your concept of frequency, I could assume not, but bettsr to just ask.
I generally think of matter as stored information, so it completely makes sense to me that transfer and creation of information through actions, thoughts, and feelings would be frequency as you say, and our senses would be sensing frequency (your model) or field energies (my model).
I'm not familiar with the concept of a materialist.
As I understand it (and was using it), a materialist believes reality is based in matter. This is the general approach of the hard sciences, physics, math, etc. Even a lot of philosophy is based in materialism - see Descartes, for example, although philosophers tend to struggle with existence beyond matter. Even religions tell their creation myths in terms of matter and objects.
This reminds me of Watt's prickles & goo.
I started in the prickles camp & I'm a slowly coming over to the goo side.
