Here is just this part then:
Having this "value vision of good values" as I call it is like being in a higher, transcended state of consciousness. It is like the pure love, joy, goodness, and beauty of the cosmos taking on the form of a profoundly beautiful state of being and living. We become beings of light, so to speak. Without this state of mind, then we would either be in a state of complete darkness or just simply a blank state. So, the true and absolute standard to live by would be through our positive emotions. Otherwise, it would either be the worst standard or just an empty (no quality) standard to live by. Let me enlighten you more about this higher and absolute standard. According to the spiritual version of my worldview, our brains would be transceivers that pick up on divine spiritual energy in this universe. This divine energy is sheer intrinsic goodness itself.
Intrinsic qualities would be things such as water. So, goodness would be an intrinsic quality like water when it comes to this divine energy in a spiritual universe. In a purely naturalistic universe (a secular world), our positive emotions would be intrinsic qualities and they would literally be goodness themselves. But like I was saying, in a spiritual universe, god's divine energy is sheer goodness, joy, love, and beauty itself. Our brains pick up on this divine energy which puts us into a divine state of mind we call a positive emotion.
It is through our positive emotions that we perceive the good values on a level that goes far beyond simply identifying these values. It is like seeing the good values in this life through the eyes of god rather than through the eyes of a mere biological machine who can only think of mere words and situations. Now, I love anime and I would love to express this worldview of mine using an anime analogy. Dragonball Z is one of my favorite anime. In our universe, we are just mere human beings who carry on in miserable lives all the while attending to jobs and whatnot. We think to ourselves that carrying on in miserable lives is somehow the truly good and beautiful way to live.
It never was. They are just living by a shit standard and they have not been awakened to my higher, awesome, and magnificent standard. In the Dragonball Z universe, you will witness transcended and otherworldly beings. I think this represents my standard because these would be higher beings living by a higher standard. I would project my worldview upon the DBZ universe from here by saying that these transcended beings have brains that act as transceivers that pick up on the divine spiritual energy in their universe which puts them into the divine positive emotional states. These transcended beings have a different definition of good and bad than we as humans.
Now, I would also like to convey my worldview using a video game I have always loved which would be Sonic the Hedgehog. There is a form of Sonic known as Super Sonic which is a golden and transcended form of Sonic. This form of Sonic would symbolize a positive emotion such as an intense feeling of love, joy, beauty, or excitement. So, according to my worldview, Super Sonic would be a euphoric state Sonic is in. It is in this state that Sonic perceives the goodness and beauty in this universe on a god like level. His brain has picked up on a surge of this divine energy and that has powered him up. He now has enhanced speed and strength due to this euphoric state. It is through his way of thinking that Sonic picks up on either divine energy or dark energy. So, his thoughts are the keys to opening the gateway to a conscious heaven or hell in his life. But, like I said, thoughts alone are just the keys and cannot put us into a state of heaven or hell.
When Sonic is in his normal form, then he would be perceiving the goodness and beauty on a stable and constant level which would simply be a positive mood (the brain's our soul's normal and healthy state which is a state that lasts 24/7 providing you don't have any dysphoria or enhanced euphoria). There is another form of Sonic which is Dark Sonic. This form would represent the negative emotions such as feelings of anger or despair. Anhedonia would represent a form of Sonic where he is no longer in his normal, blue form. He would instead take on a gray and lifeless form. In this form, he would only be thinking and believing of the good and bad values in this life, but would not be able to see them like how a sighted person would be able to visualize colors.
One last thing here. You could either perceive the values that situations and things have or you can perceive your own created values. For example, if a mother was feeding her child vegetables, then the vegetables would be good. But the child would be perceiving them as bad since he felt a negative emotion from them. So, even though the vegetables are good, the child saw them as bad which would be his own personal perceived value. This means that things and situations hold their own value and that the only way to perceive their value or our own personal created value would be through our emotions. Also, even if our emotional states were induced by drugs rather than thoughts, they would still be the perception of values in our lives like how a sighted person visualizes colors.
