...perhaps horniness or exuberance for positive valence. Whatever the valence the intensity level would be high and challenging to control. Ok, so that's the prediction. If we run the experiment what do we get? In my experience we get exactly that.

"In my experience..." you mean you've done this, Dan? What does the practice look like? Yeah, I have. It looks like most contemplative practices. You use your breath and directed attention to bring about specific states of mind based on the object of attention.

What is an appropriate object of attention to cause a spike in Pathos pressure? Gotta be something with strong emotional content. Often that means digging up a traumatic memory, or if not the memory of the trauma itself, then examining the lingering feelings it has produced.

Please don't try this without having a strong base and capability to regulate your psyche and "come down" and reintegrate afterwards. Ok, that's the disclaimer. You're all free people here. Do what the fuck you want. Just take care of yourself. I've done this. It works (for me)

So now you've gone and created an Pathos pressure spike. Cool. That's a big damn mood, ain't it? Now what? What do you do with it. That's where fun begins. It's possible to move the Pathos around, place it in "psychic containers" if you've got one ready to go.

What a "psychic container" might be is left as an exercise for the reader. I suspect you will easily be able to find quite a few of these in your own life that you are already using. Spike it with Pathos for a real learning experience, if you're curious and curious (and I am).
