A strawman?

Emotions are not catalyst. They are not unconscious either.

If we were to associate them with an archetype, it would be experience.

See, this is what I want to explore with you, zen. By making emotions unconscious in your consciousness, you are underrating them.

Emotions are certainly catalyst. I'd guess they're the most obvious form. We'd have to disagree on that one. Merely looking at all of the emotional reactions on this forum, and the later recognized catalyst from that should be evidence enough.

And they are unconscious, or pointing towards something yet to be integrated. Carl Jung, a thoughtful well-integrated individual, describes emotion as an activity that happens to the individual rather than an activity of the individual. That's basically another way of saying 'unconscious reaction'. Not sure how to go about describing it more clearly for you.
