You have taught us that emotion is energy in motion, and a kind of language that contains an intention with an agenda. Is emotion a particular form of nonlocal consciousness that can be felt more strongly by the body, and picked up more readily by others, intuitively, who can tell when we are upset? If not, in what ways does it differ?

This is a clever understanding coming into focus for you that emotion has special characteristics and that is the key to its strong influence on the being and its impact not only within, but when perceived by others through an intuitive awareness something is brewing, or more crudely, in the absence of good intuitive perception, seeing the signs, the body language telegraphing that someone is feeling quite strongly something important and to get ready because the dam is about to burst. The body, in its emotional makeup and sensing capabilities, is exhibiting the ability to address at least a form of nonlocal consciousness directly, because that is the essence of emotion. It is nonlocal consciousness of a certain energetic frequency. The range of emotions is like the rainbow, with each color having an emotional counterpart. And rather than being perceived visually by the eye, the frequencies of the emotions are being perceived by sensory mechanisms of cellular consciousness. And that is being perceived viscerally, within the tissues of the body, and signaling the central nervous system so your conscious mind will perceive what is going on within the body emotionally. It can factor in the essence of its meaning to have a better understanding of the self in that moment and will most usually interpret an emotional reaction appropriately in assigning responsibility for what is going on. So it is, indeed, a higher level awareness of intention and meaning coming from the interplay with others, or the consequences within the culture reflected in the news, if not more personal in reacting to messages sent to the person or the conveying of information verbally, perhaps from a third-party in the form of gossip, and so on. This illustrates the imperfect nature of emotion alone, to be the sole determining factor in a situation as to how best to react and perhaps take action in some way or another in response. Emotional alone is too generic. While there are many shades of intensity and varieties of emotional experience, they cannot begin to convey much about the details of origin and meaning in the many nuances with regard to karmic origins, karmic responsibilities, and karmic consequences in play with everything that happens. This is true both in terms of the originator of events and circumstances giving rise to an emotional reaction in others, as well as what one might trigger within oneself in reacting to outside stimuli giving rise to an emotional reaction that can begin to color the interpretation of the experience, and have a large influence on actions that might be taken. This can cause things to become more serious through an amplification of energies. Especially, if applied inappropriately in a rash moment of anger, for example, rather than a more measured response to give the self time to sort things out in a calm deliberate way to be sure of all the factors involved before making a rush to judgment or some other error of interpretation that could lead to greater difficulty and a worsening of circumstances. So because of the great importance of the emotions, they are not only readily sensed within the body consciousness, they will be picked up through intuitive awareness of the people around you, many times. This will depend on the psychic ability for the most part, although that will be enhanced if there is a karmic entanglement that heightens awareness of what is going on between the parties intuitively. When people have a high degree of interaction and a growing inter-dependence, there can be a quite heightened resonance and sensitivity to one another intuitively. This is part of natural equipment, so one naturally is more greatly attuned to the people in their life who matter the most, such as loved ones or potential sources of trouble like bosses or known critics. This provides a way to have not only one's finger on the pulse, but the inside track in understanding and even anticipating what might come next from an adversary. This is why keeping one's emotions in check is a good strategy because it can tip one's hand to an opponent and, in effect, telegraph what might be coming and give them a chance to raise their defenses and become a more formidable foe in some kind of argument or contest that will be underway.
