I wasn't specifically referring to the emotional body, but we could relegate to that level of terminology, if so desired. From a subtle body standpoint, the "emotional body" is the lower astral body or the "personal complex". But there is also a higher emotional body, which is the higher astral body. The lower astral body is the container for the more human emotions, having to do with self, whereas the higher astral body is the container/receptor for the more spiritually transcendent emotions having to do with others. Even from that standpoint, I can't say that emotions are relegated to one specific body, though it is certainly true that, for the most part, we experience the vast majority of these emotional sensations through this orange ray "window" or perspective.
And as for thoughts coming from elsewhere, I sort of agree in a way, so long as this concept of "elsewhere" is understood to be a vibrational level, rather than some other spatial location. The social consciousness that constitutes yellow ray overlaps with every ray at specific points, and thus consciousness that is predominately seated in "yellow ray" can still experience every other ray, albeit from a yellow ray vibrational perspective (however, there are overlap points between every colored ray). We "pick up" on thoughts within our vibrational vicinity or range. And then, of course, as per our egoic nature we then project ownership onto this and take credit for "thinking them".
What I call "emotion" is simply a perception of resonance or dissonance with "who we really are" or "what catalyst has caused us to become" outside of space/time. The time/space analog, "the magical personality", the "unmanifested self", the "significator", the "form maker", the "higher self". These are all different words describing a similar focus of consciousness. So emotion is just our perception of the resonance or dissonance between the "personal complex" and that inner and higher vibrational perspective. They are our perception of the vibrational variance between the "lower self" and the "higher self" (of course, these descriptive terms are clumsy, as "lower" doesn't imply "lesser", but rather "more specific" or "less broad perspective").
So the dissonance/resonance is translated in different ways at every vibrational perspective of consciousness. In the physical body, there is the red ray expression in terms of hormones, neurotransmitters, endogenous chemicals, and all other 3rd density biological clothing that the invisible conscious impulses "dresses" itself in to express at this vibrational level. At other vibrational levels, the expression clothes itself in a slightly less tangible wardrobe of specific imagery. But basically, emotion is simply one of the many ways we discriminate among vibrational thresholds. Another way of discrimination could be described as color perception, sound perception, or theoretically, even smell perception.
