EMOTION VS. FEELING ​

An emotion is a conditioned response. It is an ego created reaction on a mental and hormonal level that then hijacks one's feeling to go along with the supposed meaning of the conditioning. Let's say you see a bunch of white bikers at night in front of a 7/11. You have been conditioned to see them as a threat and so your ego throws up images or imagination of them assaulting you. Then these images affect your hormones and you respond with emotions of fear and anger. But a feeling is direct from the body and has no intermediary. Like if someone smiles at you and you automatically smile back. Or if you smell food cooking and feel like eating. The hijacking of feelings by the ego is encoded as Set (ego) trying like hell to fuck Auset (feeling).
