This
word is redefined in
Dianetics and is
given an opposite for comparison, "
misemotion." Previously the
word emotion was never satisfactorily defined. Now it is defined as an
organism manifestation of
position on the
Tone Scale which is rationally appropriate to the
present time environment and which truly represents the
present time position on the
Tone Scale. Rational
affect.

a response by
wavelength affecting an
individual or another which produces a
sensation and a
state of
mind. Emotion is a connector between
thought and
effort. ((Added for glossary entry only - not in footnote)) It is a
manifestation of
beingness, and closely related to
motion. One handles
motion on a direct
ratio with his
ability to
handle emotion; the higher his emotion
level, the more
control he can exert over
motion; the lower his emotion
level, the more he succumbs to
motion.
the
catalyst used by the
control center to
monitor physical
action. The
relay system, via glands, interposed between "I" and
self and, by
thought, others. The
main emotions are
happiness, in which one has
confidence and enjoyment in his
goals and a belief in his
control of
environment;
boredom, in which one has lost
confidence and direction but is not defeated;
antagonism, wherein one feels his
control threatened;
anger, wherein one seeks to
destroy that which threatens and seeks without good direction beyond
destruction;
covert hostility, wherein one seeks to
destroy while reassuring his
target that he is not so seeking;
fear, wherein one is catalyzed to flee;
grief, in which one recognizes
loss;
apathy, in which one accepts
failure on all
dynamics and pretends
death. Other emotions are a volume or a lack of volume of those named.
Shame or embarrassment are emotions peculiar to groups or
interpersonal relations and are on a
level with
grief, denoting
loss of
position in a
group. Emotion is the
glandular system
parallel of
motion and each emotion reflects
action to gain or
lose to
motion. At a high
level one is sending back
motion, at a mid
level one is
holding motion, at a lower
level,
motion is
sweeping through and over one.

energy manifestation of
affinity (the feeling of affection or the lack of it).
