Hmm, I've experienced a few interesting emotions outside normal experience during encounters as well, which has always made me wonder ever since what the "full" gambit of human emotions can potentially be. The normal ones I've experienced as part of general life, but the odd ones which only occur during encounters would suggest either my biology has support for them [ given that the entities appeared to be operating at the organic level], or there is something specific that has to be bridged for my biology to actually gain access to additional emotional strata.
There is also the possibility it is simply an effect of having translation tables capable of handling additional emotions. However, that also opens up a can of worms as to what the spectrum is at the spiritual level for a human being, and I'm not sure we've actually gone over that topic yet [nor the spectrum of emotions that are not available to humans.]
Things are still very busy my end, hope to get back to posting more regularly in the future.
