The level by which we are capable of manipulating what our experience is defined as to ourselves is grand in its scope of detailed potential articulation.
We can use our own selves to move ourselves rather than only using our minds to move our thoughts.

So this was an exercise in moving yourself?

Everything is an exercise in moving ourselves; this was a movement that noted that we have the ability to drive the movement rather than only the ability to change what we think about the movement.

Yes you can use yourself to get shitfaced.

But what was the point of bringing that up here?

Very little, unfortunately. I was simply inspired by the idea of picture posting and was getting a chuckle out of the google image responses I was getting. If you wanna remove it feel free, I know that it in no way adds to the topic. I just couldn’t help myself. Posting with pictures is surprisingly enjoyable.

It can relate though, as pathological agents are means which we use to take ourselves to various states of shitfaced, so are emotions the agents with which we can take ourselves to various states of experience.

Very nice collage you got going on there No-body. I think those are illustrative symbolic emotions or imprints that I can relate to as well.

No-Body.
Exactly.
Now to convey my point, you can take all of what you posted and use them the same as you use your arm.
You can extend the emotional experience of any one of those uniquely upon request if you so wanted, and do so that you could directly move through your experience of life.

I think some people do this, to some extent at least. I find I cannot simply use my emotions, though this is habitual in much of society, or ‘choose’ them, but rather it works for me to set them free and allow them their full place. Which runs counter to culture - which could almost be defined as methods of controlling emotions.

Moreno, but reflect on that.
Why can’t we use our emotions?

The Paineful Truth

Is that like saying; ‘what’s the point’ a vast universe out there and people think so small minded etc?
Interesting point.

So this is ‘holistic thinking’ ~ perhaps the most natural and usual way in which we think about the world globally or wholly? Are we then adding a dimension where we take a ’scene’ and use it like a part of our bodies? …but also to move them around like tarot cards forming different arrangements.

Kind of ‘art’ but ‘living art’ ~ where a piece is more an arrangement of events and also collective inspirations ~ as like a painting ‘contains‘ a whole load of elements within the one. Here we are keeping it uncontained and flowing.

No, s’part of the problem with holistic thinking.

No matter how seemingly pointless or unfair or outrageous our threescore and 10, this is all but a blink against the great equalizer of eternity. “What we do in life echoes (forever) in eternity”, and maybe so do we, if we can stand ourselves.

Quetz, no…well…sort of.
It is holistic listening from which selective and exact action can be directed.
Our emotions are behavioral appendiges. We don’t have to react to what our fingers do instinctively to stimuli. We can select the articulation.
I am saying that this can be done with emotions. You can select the emotion to evoke for use rather than reacting to what emotions arrive to you.

Your means of interaction, however, are on the right line of thinking as the evocation, being human, requires something by which is the reference frame to provoke the desired emotion to be used.

Like a method actor, but not for pretend.

I assume you didn’t intend this, but her emotions appear to be fake to the point of caricature. Something to be cautious of, perhaps.

I’m not saying we can’t. I am saying that I prefer not to. The reason I prefer not to, I believe, is that they are me. So if I use them, rather than embody them,I am split. A part of me is using another part of me, instead of me being a single entity.

Of course one can say ‘I used my arm to reach for the bottle’

But I vastly prefer the feeling of simply reaching for the bottle. Rather than splitting off my arm and making it a tool.

And I think, if one looks/feels carefully, one will notice that underneath the use and control of emotions is a kind of self hate and self distrust
however trussed up this is in other terms.
