. . . . Emotions are the dutiful executors and servants of the value principle, the most intelligent offspring yet of biological value. On the other hand, emotions’ own offspring, the emotional feelings that color our entire life from cradle to grave, looms large over humanity by making certain that emotions are not ignored. ~ Page 115
Emotions are complex, largely automated programs and actions concocted by evolution. The actions are complemented by a ‘cognitive’ program that includes certain ideas and modes of cognition, but the world of emotions are largely out of actions carried out in our bodies, from facial expressions and postures to changes in viscera and internal milieu.
Feelings of emotion, on the other hand, are composite perceptions of what happens in our body and mind when we are emoting. As far as the body is concerned, feelings are images of actions rather than actions themselves; the world of feelings is one of perceptions executed in brain maps. But there is a qualification to be made here: the perceptions we call feelings of emotion contain special ingredient that corresponds to the primordial feelings. Those feelings are based on the unique relationship between body and brain that privileges ‘interoception’. There are other aspects of the body being represented in emotional feelings, of course, but interoception dominates the process and is responsible for what we designate as the felt aspect of these perceptions. ~ Page 117
