When these states are disharmonious, the sensory experience is unpleasant and unsatisfactory. Sensations and feelings are naturally the perception of opposite qualities and conditions, from sweet to sour, hard and soft, cold and hot, or pleasure and pain. People are conditioned to specific values, by the Association of feelings with qualities and conditions, such as hell may be associated with feelings of fire and torment, heaven with perfect sensory attributes, or people may be demonized by associations of evil characterized by ugly, deformed, depraved and other dark depictions and characterizations.
In terms of Association, there are two types which can determine the sensory response termed
Correspondent and
Disconjunctive Association. Correspondent Association is wherein any given association represents fairly accurately the origin and original perception and experience. If the experience of fire as associations, remains accurate and limited to real and actual experience with the experience of fire one has had, this is termed Correspondent Association.
Disconjunctive Association is wherein any given association is changed and enhanced from the reality of the original perception. When associations as the experiences of fire that the individual has had, becomes fused with descriptions of for example, devils, hell, evil or Judgment, then those associations do not reflect one's true experience with fire. This is termed Disconjunctive Association which can influence the individual's perception of reality so that it is not true and accurate.
What and how Consequential Value is defined affects and determines the sensory response. Consequential Value as Association may be defined in terms of either Correspondent of Disconjunctive Association. By Correspondent Association, the sighting of a snake may provoke associations of only what the individual has had personal experience with in terms of snakes.
