Emotion (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an expression of the synthetic human entirety in its integrity. It is not an effect of the human reality, but that through which human reality realizes itself.

Emotion (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an organized form of human existence. It cannot come from outside human reality. It is man, on the contrary, who assumes his emotion.

An Emotion (n.) is, ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in its own manner, able to signify the whole of the consciousness or of human reality.

Emotion (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not a physical phenomenon. A body cannot be emotional (as the body only carries the symptoms of emotion), rather it is the consciousness itself that is to be interrogated, for joy is joy only in so far as it appears as such.

Emotion's (n.) laws ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠are to be found enclosed in itself, in the development of the emotion itself such that 'a mother is sad because she weeps'. As a fact enclosed in itself, the analysis of emotion will never enable anyone to understand anything else, nor to look through it into the essential reality of man.

An Emotion (n.) signifies ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in its own way the whole of the consciousness. It is not the effect of the human reality. It is that human reality itself... realizing itself in the form of 'emotion'.
