When, however, stimuli of the distance ceptors compete with stimuli of the contact ceptors, the contact-ceptor stimuli often secure the common path, not because they are stronger or more important, but because they are immediate and urgent.

The Origin and Nature of the Emotions: Miscellaneous Papers 1915

If pain is a part of a muscular response and occurs only as a result of contact ceptor stimulation by physical injury, infection, anemia, or obstruction, we may well inquire which part of the nerve mechanism is the site of the phenomenon of pain.

The Origin and Nature of the Emotions: Miscellaneous Papers 1915

The distance-ceptor stimuli which may thus triumph over even powerful contact-ceptor stimuli are those causing strong emotions -- as great anger in fighting; great fear in a battle; intense sexual excitement.

The Origin and Nature of the Emotions: Miscellaneous Papers 1915

If the acidity is further increased, there is loss of muscular tone and even the strong contact ceptor stimuli of a surgical operation do not cause any muscular response, and, finally, the acidity may be increased to the point at which the respiratory and circulatory centers can no longer respond by increased effort, and anesthetic death -- that is, acid death -- follows.

The Origin and Nature of the Emotions: Miscellaneous Papers 1915

In many instances, however, the distance-ceptor stimuli are strong, have the advantage of a lowered threshold, and therefore compete successfully with the immediate and present stimuli of the contact ceptors.

The Origin and Nature of the Emotions: Miscellaneous Papers 1915

Each separate motor action presumably has its own mechanism -- brain pattern -- which is activated by but one ceptor and by that ceptor only when physical force of a certain intensity and rate of motion is applied.

The Origin and Nature of the Emotions: Miscellaneous Papers 1915

We postulate that pain is a result of contact ceptor stimulation for the purpose of securing protective muscular activity.

The Origin and Nature of the Emotions: Miscellaneous Papers 1915

Spoken and written words, pictures, sounds, may stimulate the brain patterns formed by previous stimulation of the distance ceptors; while touch, pain, temperature, pressure, may recall previous contact-ceptor stimuli.

A lot will happen between now and then with the economy, the credit crisis and saber rattling worldwide and nothing is going to pause or wait for the King to take his new ceptor to his throne.
