Another good question, I mean they seem to express emotion to some degree, they cry when they're upset and need a change or a feed, they smile when tickled. Of course it depends on how 'new' you mean by new born I guess?
Director
you keep expressing it as though "the child" or "they" or "the self" is creating the emotion
you are still unable to see it is the emotion creating the child rather than the child creating the emotion
for example, for the 3rd time, the body of the child requires food. the physical organism of the child generates an emotion of hunger. then the child cries: "Mummy, feed me!".
if the physical body of the child was not in need of nutrition, the mind of the child would not create the concept of "I am hungry".
For example, when I used to try & get deep & meaningful with my father, he would always come to a point when he could go no further. he would space out with fear & trauma & say: "We were so hungry during the Great Depression".
the physical hunger obviously influenced his mind's psyche greatly, to the point where physical hunger formed part of my father's personality or "self"
where as myself, I do not have this "hungry self" because there was never a time in my life I experience gross physical hunger
question for Director:
when billions of sperm cells squiggle & wiggle with the life force of emotion to fertilise an ovum egg, are you inferring, Director, each of these sperm cells has a "fallen self"?
