Passions and feelings

They have a double side: physically biological and mental. The biological side means organic manifestation, which acts especially in the uncontrollable manifestation of disturbance on the blood circulation or respiratory system, heartbeat, etc. Outwardly it is manifested by movement, gestures, and the like. The psychic side means changes that manifest in consciousness as pleasant or unpleasant. These are feelings that do not indicate passions and feelings but presuppose and express them. Passion or emotion is pleasant or unpleasant for the subject. For good, only love arises as a manifestation of effort. If the good is distant, there is a desire; if the desire is satisfied, there is a manifestation of satisfaction, joy.

There are different feelings. There are feelings of religion, feelings of duty, feelings of morality. The main factor is the intellect. The deepest experiences are religious and metaphysical. In the metaphysical experience, one experiences the ultimate and supreme meaning of things and the world because he acquires things with his inner spiritual light. The experience of bliss lies in the activity of the soul. Therefore, the psychological cause of boredom is always in lack of activity.

They will are distinguished passions of emotion, desire, joy, anger, courage, hope. There is an organic and psychic element in them. A physical change manifests the organic element; the psychic element is apparent after the object’s previous sensory perception, which arouses attraction or resistance; the idea of ​​imagery is also sufficient. Passions guide the will’s feelings, which are based on her spiritual ability, and add a spiritual character to passions. Love, as the expression of the will, is more than the passion of sensory love. Physical beauty arouses the passion of love and is not permanent. It is changeable and can be erased with greater beauty. The spirit can also rise with love to higher supersensible things, to the ideal, to God. Passions and feelings are the driving force behind the action. They affect our lives. However, they do not work the same for everyone. A person’s whole life, and therefore his passions and feelings, must be subject to reason and will because passion affects the human organism and entrains it. That man is as if paralyzed or intoxicated by the power of passion, and so human reason is affected.
