Emotion is passion belittled inside as well as for the sake of the individual self. Belittling size belittles its energy too. Turning emotion back into passion is effected by the correct body posture and the correct face expression.

So Focus - turning emotion into passion program - comprises the correction of both; that, in turn, opens the third eye chakra and the crown chakra.

In traditional philosophy the emotions are passions, i.e. passive states, as opposed to actions, which are behaviors. In life, action often seems to bubble out of strong emotion, but it can be resisted, which seems to indicate that emotion and will are separate but related sources of action. Action from a purely detached, "cold blooded," passionless decision is conceivable but perhaps rare, since any matter that engages the self sufficiently to fix one's attention, and intention, is likely to involve some emotion, however mild. The "cold blooded" killer seems, and is, more horrible than someone acting out of strong emotion. Such a person seems inhuman, just because of a sense that he is pathologically detached from human feeling and operating more like a mere mechanism. Emotional involvement implies that something means something to the person, and perhaps involves some suffering. The cold blooded killer thus acts as though he doesn't even care, one way or the other, neither suffering nor aware of suffering.

Emotions are feelings but not sensations. Sensations are localized in the body and tend to provide perceptual or physiological information. Sensations can simply be feelings of touch, or of pleasure, pain, hunger, thirst, satiety, sexual arousal, etc. Emotions are systemic and, while causing physiological reactions (and so sensations), are not localized -- they are states of the self, not of the body, although immediately affecting and reflected in the body. Thus, one has a pain in the toe, or pleasure in the genitals, but happiness or sadness everythere. At the same time, although pleasure is primarily a sensation, "taking pleasure" in doing something is an emotional state which can be connected to many kinds of activities. Similarly, although sexual arousal is a sensation, lustfulness can be an emotion existing with or without any actual arousal.

Since emotions are not acts of will, they are not freely chosen, but occur spontaneously, which is why a "crime of passion" is less severe than a crime of calculation, as less under control of the will -- and it is, of course, acts of will that are morally praiseworthy or blameworthy. Cold blooded action, although simultaneously judged as inhuman, is ironically more open to moral sanction, which is exclusively human. Nevertheless, the occurrence of emotions is bound up with attitudes, situations, and knowledge, all of which can change quickly, altering the emotion just as quickly. Thus, discovering that a presumed enemy was actually acting as a friend can turn anger and hatred quickly into remorse, gratitude, and affection. Although emotions may accompany attitudes (pride), not all attitudes (alertness, stubbornness) are emotions. It is noteworthy that of the seven deadly sins, some are vices, i.e. habits and attitudes, with emotional content (envy, wrath), some without (gluttony, sloth).

The cognitive and situational component of emotion means that emotions are as varied as the circumstances of life, which means that the range and variety of emotions is great and complex -- as can be seen in the accompanying tables at left and right. It is unlikely that a system of emotions could do justice to the complexity, though in general emotions are thought of as positive or negative, good or bad. The valence may be due to either an inward or an outward circumstance: A feeling of pride may be vicious, when a person is proud of something wrongful or shameful, while anger, often thought of as intrinsically negative, may nevertheless be properly directed at something wrongful, shameful, or evil. Fear and horror are bad, not because of anything in the self, but because of the danger posed by, or the evil represented by, some object. Wonder and awe similarly refer to objects, often to some sublimity or surprising complexity in them.

The metaphysical framework for the emotions can be provided by the theory of positive transcendence in The Origin of Value in a Transcendent Function. There it was concluded that sensation as such was transcendent (the positive content of transcendence) and that pleasure and pain were intuitive forms of sensation as value. Sensation, pleasure, and pain, however, are causally conditioned phenomena. Pure forms of objective value -- right and wrong, good and evil, and the beautiful and the ugly -- were then examples of "unconditioned" positive transcendence, purposive value, intrinsic to objects. Now it can be observed that the emotions fit in between these metaphysical extremes. They are, as noted, not sensations, and so are relatively detached from the body, but they are also in part causally conditioned and so undoubtedly in and of the body, unlike unconditioned value -- as the heart may begin to beat heavily with strong emotion, emotion is often felt as seated in the breast. On the other hand, they are also, as also noted, responsive to and expressive of cognition, and so to purposive value that is recognized in the self or in objects. Emotions thus bridge the ontological and cognitive gap between sensation, or pleasure and pain, and purposive value. They combine and bridge the causal and the cognitive, the subjective and the objective, the immediacy of self and the mediacy of representation.

On passion - by Steve pavlina:

If you work really hard to achieve your goals but don’t enjoy the journey, you’re delaying the essence of life. Committing to your goals doesn’t mean you slave away at work you dislike, celebrating only the destination. A real abiding commitment means that you love what you do each day. You are at least as passionate about the path as you are about the results. If you love the path you’re on, your passion motivates you to keep taking the next step.

But passion alone isn’t enough.

Passion requires focused direction, and that direction must come from three other areas: your purpose, your talents, and your needs.

First, purpose and passion go hand in hand. If you don’t know your life purpose, your passion won’t be guided by conscience. Many criminals go this route — they are very passionate about certain actions, but those actions aren’t motivated by a higher purpose. When passion and purpose point in the same direction, it means you fall in love with the path of service. You love what you do, and it also contributes positively to the world. A synergy is created whereby your passion is increased manyfold, a natural consequence of doing something you love to do AND which you know is making a difference.

Secondly, passion must be blended with talent. Passion can get you pretty far, but there are plenty of people who are passionate and incompetent, and their passion isn’t sufficient to save them. Have you ever known anyone who got really excited about an idea but couldn’t follow through? The good news is that your talent can be developed — you can educate yourself to learn new knowledge and skills. But the ultimate goal here is to discover where your greatest talents lie. What talents, if you were to fully develop them, could be extremely strong for you? You may come up with several answers, but which ones overlap with your passion? When you do what you love to AND you become really good at doing it, your passion will increase, and your results will be amplified.

Thirdly, passion must be blended with need. At the very least, you have to direct your passion in such a way that you’ll be able to feed yourself. But if you master the blending of passion, purpose, and talent, it will not be too difficult to satisfy your needs… even to achieve financial abundance.

The key to fulfillment is to work from your greatest strengths, with passion, in the service of purpose.

Doing what you’re best at ensures that you’re working efficiently. Being passionate about what you do means that you’ll work hard at it. And serving a purpose means that you’re contributing and making a real difference in others’ lives. When you do all three, you’re contributing the maximum value you possibly can, and if you can’t generate a fantastic income doing that, you won’t be able to generate a better one doing anything else. This is the very definition of value. It is precisely what people will be eager to pay you for.

I believe that everyone can find an area where the circles of passion, purpose, talent, and need overlap. The best place to start is with purpose by listening to your conscience. Once you know that, then move on to passion and talent — each of these will likely contain many possibilities. There are probably several things you love to do and several things you can become really good at. List them out for each category. Then take time to reflect on possible areas of overlap between purpose, passion, and talent. Remember that the talent circle can be moved with additional education and skill-building.

When you find the area of overlap between purpose, passion, and talent, the need area tends to be fairly easy to fulfill. The first three areas will suggest potential careers. Here’s another way of thinking about it:

Need = what you must do
Talent = what you can do
Passion = what you love to do
Purpose = what you should do

Many people see these 4 areas as inherently in conflict. How many times have you heard people spout limiting beliefs such as, “you can’t make money (need) doing what you love (passion)?”

Nonsense.

I believe that everyone can find a path on which all four of these areas are in harmony. You can find a way to work from your greatest strengths, doing what you love to do, in the service of purpose, and taking care of all your basic needs — even achieving abundance.

But the first step is to simply decide to do it. Decide that your life is worth enough to you to get all four of these areas working together. You don’t have to go broke doing what you love. You don’t have to work at a job you hate. You don’t have to see meaningful contribution as something out of sync with your everyday reality.

Take some time to reflect on what kind of career, what kind of life, would allow you to put these four areas in harmony — all of them pointing in the same direction. No conflict. It can be done.
