Hello BO,

ERIN: How can we know emotions precede thought in the quality event?

BO: Infinitely interesting these things. You do know my so-called
"expression" list?

          Interaction - Sensation - Emotion - Reason

ERIN: yes i do remember. I thought your first statement implied a stage-like
process with interacation first then sensation then emotion then reason.
In this latest statement you imply that the chain reaction go the other way
no?

BO: I would say that it is emotions that start the
tears and blows (the social level influences the biological level). Even
Intellect can enter this "chain reaction" by smothering emotions and
thus prevent biological blows ....or pulling of triggers.

ERIN: Is it safe to conclude that they are simutaneously interacting rather
then a stage-like process?

In a different thread I was discussing a jazz session as an analogy for a
quality event (thus why simultaneous was more intuitive to me).

Not sure if I read you right or not. I agree that james/lange statement is not
intuitive but was wondering how we KNOW what comes first--just because it is a
higher level does it have to come last was what I was trying to ask.
