Breaking news Sept 11, 2017....it is being reported that new emotions have been discovered. In recent reporting, scientists have discovered that there are 27 emotional states rather than 6. (http://www.countryliving.co.uk/wellbeing/news/a2454/27-human-emotions-new-study/) and (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/08/30/1702247114).
Buddhist psychology, which as been around for around 2500 years, first identified 51 states of mind. These have been talked about and many of them have been experienced directly by mediators for years. It is great that Western psychologists are talking to humans and gaining a deeper understanding. Perhaps some day, they will use the same techniques as passed down for generations to recognize their own emotions directly. This self research has been the norm for generations and is alive and well today in contemplative traditions throughout the world.
