The emotional climate keeps changing, sometimes slowly in long cycles and sometimes quite rapidly through interactions with the world. When the emotional climate changes all of your thoughts change too, thought serves emotion. But what is meant by an emotional climate? You are surrounded by a cloud of represented past and future events, realities or real possibilities. Every one of these images has a plus or a minus sign attached to it - maybe no more than that, no colours or smells - and it is the pattern of these. And do these images surround you or only an image of you? They speak to a notion you have of yourself, in the most secret part, what you think you really are, with all your warts and kinks. It is the version of the self that you can't disidentify from, the greedy core of self enjoyment. The imagined events are just outward projections of that. There is no way of thought around all of this; it is also 'that on behalf of which'. You can only watch it play, with whatever detachment you can muster.
