This theory seems to be right but not detailed enough. I had gotten myself to a place of weariness where I began to think that the clash opened up a bottomless supply of feeling that would flood the mind making the processing of thought impossible. Can you talk in these terms and not feel that you are misrepresenting things. I am having a problem with orders of reality in your model. Amygdala brainstem limbic system etc have a molecular reality.
Thoughts have an electromagnetic reality.
So, I use 'energy' and hope that folks understand.
