Emotions can be accurately considered to be the thrust, the drive, the vitality of the energy of life. They also determine "behavior" and the capability or potentiality to solve problems for survival. What is emotion?... Emotion is e-nergy in motion. The feeling caused when sensing energy in motion is an emotion. Just like we perceive the visible range of electromagnetic energy as different colors depending on the speed of its frequency, so we sense and feel different emotions depending on the frequency of energy corresponding to the emotional range. Every individual is, at any given time, in a particular emotional level -"Emotional Tone" - which reveals the amount or intensity of available driving force, vigor, strength, or capacity for doing work. It denotes his creating power and, therefore, predicts his behavior. Happiness is an emotion. Feeling an emotion. Feeling energy in motion.

What role does emotion play? Until now, the concept and components of Emotion has been one of the most controversial topic in psychology and source of intense discussion and disagreement from the earliest philosophers to present day thinkers. (See: Theories of Emotion pop up window) When a person is in the emotional level we call apathy, behaves in certain way. He becomes careless of others, talks very little or nothing, has strong doubt of own reality, is persistent towards self-destruction, thinks about suicide, cries for pity, shows very little ability for solving problems of survival and is very close to his own demise. When a person is in the emotional level called anger, behaves as follow: He is blatant and destructive, he is unreasonable, has a brutal sense of humor, can not be trusted, takes the "I am right - you are wrong" stand, uses punishment and alarming lies, he experiences constant failure in surviving. When a person is in the emotional state of enthusiasm shows intense interest in life, feels high self-worth and respects others, communicates well and accepts exchange of beliefs and ideas to broaden own reality, has an inherent sense of responsibility, finds existence full of pleasure, is highly creative and persistent in action, can be trusted, has elevated reasoning capacity and fast reaction time ensuring an excellent survival potential. The above mentioned 3 emotional levels, apathy, anger and enthusiasm, correspond to 3 different persons with 3 levels of energy and life vitality, 3 different behaviors and 3 completely different life experiences. Yet those 3 persons may be "doing" the exact same thing in life; selling something to a customer, paying bills, driving a car or just dancing at a party. They may also, very likely, represent the emotion level and feeling of one single person in 3 different hours of one day! (See: Human Emotions and Behavior pop up window)

The apparent difference of one thing from another depends only in the different frequencies patterns (energy moving at different rates, also called wavelength) of this basic component we call energy! Scientists call Electromagnetic Energy Spectrum the scale of energy frequencies, from the lowest energy level to the highest. Low energy has low frequency and long wavelength. High energy has high frequency and short wavelength. You can notice in the chart that Sound Energy is extremely weak compared to the ultra-powerful Gamma Ray Energy.
