Our two dimensional sensory patterns become bound together to create an inner belief in form and behavior (space-time) through the consistency of cause and effect

An inner 4th dimensional 'platform' is able to 'rise above' and witness this 3d space-time. The same way a 2d picture can be 'witnessed' from the higher dimensional perspective of the 3rd dimension.

Just as our genes configure the shape of our bodies, so they also configure the 'shape' of our minds through our aesthetics.

Ideal forms and behaviors are programmed into our minds to be subsequently discovered through exposure to reality.

Emotion is the inner feeling that arises as our aesthetics are compared to the thoughts generated by our environment.

We first discover form and behavior through consistent exposure to cause and effect in the outside world. And then we discover we have pre-installed aesthetics, which are 'measured' against our thoughts to generate our emotions.

And our emotions drive our will to think and to act.

The technology of emotion is essential to both consciousness and survival.

What we feel does not necessarily represent truth, it only represents what we were programmed to emotionally value by our genetics.

The human ego is tightly bound to the processes of emotion.

A boundary exists between the 4th dimensional viewing platform representing the body self, and the simulated 3d environment around the body. The biological technology of emotion is intimately connected to this gap, and to the genetically programmed aesthetics representing our values.

Empathy is when parts of the simulated outer environment are allowed to leak through this barrier to become part of our body self. Part of our POV.

The process of the ego

Thoughts arise from our subconscious as points of view (polarizations of all that we know) generally triggered by environmental sensory events.

These thoughts are compared to our aesthetics to generate emotion. The emotion guides the subsequent procession of our thoughts and our subsequent actions.

Our thoughts are constrained by our wisdom, which is constrained by our limits of accuracy and depth in simulating 3d space-time.

Emotions help us discover truth only as a byproduct of seeking out bliss and avoiding pain. Truth is a tool that helps link cause and effect that leads emotion to where it wants us to go.

Truth, wisdom, knowledge, actions. They are all tools of emotion driven by our aesthetics.
