But how does it work? How do our naturally occurring chemicals get us to feel, which feels so completely different than thinking or sensing or remembering. How does something so physical come to feel so removed? What the hell is it?

namako,
I love the way you write about your insight into why you believe our emotions are chemically and electrically induced. I certainly do not have the qualifications to attempt to answer your questions as to why and how this works nor do I possess your eloquence. I too have had similar perceptions of this phenomenom.
Would you believe that there is a movie, it's a kind of documentary, that attempts to explain this phenomenom? According to this movie your insight into how electricity and chemicals might induce changes in our brains that drive our emotions is RIGHT ON! What amazes me even more is what recent scientific research into the theory of quantum mechanics has revealed about this process (as presented in the movie).

WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality.

The film employs animation to realize the radical knowledge that modern science has unearthed in recent years. Powerful cinematic sequences explore the inner-workings of the human brain. Quirky animation introduces us to the smallest form of consciousness in the body – the cell. Dazzling visuals reinforce the film’s message in an exciting, powerful way.
