Another big part was that in the film we talk about being addicted to emotions, and that because of the way peptides get created due to your emotions. You're angry, it creates certain peptides, and they dock with the cells, and that's the same mechanism that people get addicted to opium. It is an addiction type thing. You can get addicted or you do get addicted to your emotions. Now people will say, 'You habitually get angry,' but he took it and said, 'No, no, no. It's not habitually, it is habitually, but you're addicted to it. You want the rush from those emotions, and so you keep going back to it.' Once you realize that, the next step is, 'Well, what are these emotions doing for me and for everyone else? Are they good or bad emotions?' There was a whole thing of looking at one's emotions, which everyone on the spiritual path does. But there was the idea of using that science to really kick people into taking a hard look at their repetitive emotions and realizing that they're addicted to them. There are also ones where there's a payoff, like victimization. People go into the victim thing, oh poor me. So there are certain payoffs that you get for negative emotions.
