I've been very interested in the directional, substantial and elemental language we use to describe our emotions/states/processes of mind.
This man is upright vs the other who is crooked. Feeling up or down, turning around one's life, feeling flat and listless or pointed and directed. Or just occupying space and exerting no tension on the field of mind in observation of and influence upon internal inertia.
We feel "not all here" or centered in oneself, we talk of integrity vs a "flimsiness" of character. We want to drown in love, while still afraid of the darkness of our own depths, and love to stay in the lofty atmosphere of logic and intelligence where ideas and knowledge are clearly apprehended in the light of the mind. Liquid emotions that are quicken into a vapor can be ignited by the spark of an idea and social transformation rage like a forest fire. Of course you'll be told to stay grounded!
People are "triggered" when an outer idea clashes with an inner idea accompanied by many others going in the opposite direction... like a wheel or a gear. The more stuff there is in motion, the more inertia it retains and the harder it is to extricate one's self from it....the more teeth, the more likely its going to grab your chain and slow you down.
To get more specific I think the total mind (which includes the body) is like a semi-permeable vessel with further chambers within it that house different elemental information (thoughts, emotions, muscle memories/traumas, and will/passions) The interact and work together similar to how our bodies physical organs do. It's performance is very dependent on what we put into it. I guess you could call them psychic organs and one of the main 4 is the entire physical body.
People like to think their volitional mind is in total control but what we experience and what we choose to contain and collect and how those elements interact within us exert a great deal of influence....or else there would be no cognitive dissonance nor changes of heart.
Whether true or not I hope the overall idea was conveyed well enough.
