By Robert Searle









In the English tongue, and in many other languages emotions of people are often described as if they are some form of "energy." There are many examples some of  which are listed below in a relevant context. Could the descriptions of "energy" be an actual  intuitive sense that human beings consist of personalities made up of highly subtle psychic "energies?"




1. She was flowing with love


2. He had a fiery personality


3.  She had a bubbly character


4.  He was positively fizzing with energy...


5.   He had a bright mind


6.   His eyes flashed with anger.


7.   She lit up the room by her presence


8.    He lit up the room like rainbow (aura?)


9.    A sparkling personality


10.  He exploded with rage


11.  His mind was flooded with inspiration


12   He was struck by astonishment


13.  He was green with envy


14.  She saw red!* (see footnote)


15.  We are bouncing off memories with each other!


 16.  He was in a grey mood


17.   He was in a brown study (ie gloomy)


18.   He was under a cloud (or an accurate representation of negative "psychic energy?"


19.   He had a flashy personality


20.   He looked at me like daggers (an expression of hatred manifesting itself  as "psychic energies"?)


21.   He was beaming with enthusiasm


22.   He had an "air" of uncertainty about him.



I may add more if I can....

* Red is sometimes associated with sex. I recall a long time ago watching a beautiful black woman at the end of a bed. She was wanting me to seduce her as was self-evident by her overall demeanour.  The atmosphere was heavy with lust and a subtle dull"redness" (barely visible) was experienced as I was trying to decide whether "to take her, or not"...
