Emotions are more than feelings. Here is why.
Love is more than an emotion. The emotion of love is the inner quality of love. But, love also has an outer quality and that is service to others.
Love has a binding influence that supports a balance between you and your external reality in such a way as to unify the external with the internal
providing a harmonic resonance between the two.
Hate is more than an emotion. The emotion of hate is the inner quality of hate. But, hate also has an outer quality and that is service to self.
Hate is a separative influence that supports a self-bias in your affairs in such a way as to reject your external environment thereby supporting
egotistical thinking.

There is a collective mind. I have provided evidence of it here:

The collective unity of our existence merges outward action with inward action. Therefore, love is an emotion, but it is also an outward action. The
emotion and the action go hand in hand, and you will not have the emotion without the action.
All is energy so all has the ability to do work. You can work for yourself or work for others. Working for yourself will breed hatred, but working
for others will breed love. Love IS service to others. In unity, service to others also means acceptance of service from others. Everything is a
service. Therfore, accept everything.
I say "in unity" because in unity, I am you. Therefore, if you are serving others, I am serving others. When we are interacting and you are
serving me, if I do not accept your service, your service has done no good and therefore, you are not serving others at all. Only by me accepting
your service does your service have any real value. In other words, the acceptance of service from others as service to others (in unity) allows for
the transference of energy to flow smoothly.
You can see that acceptance (love) is service to others and NOT just an emotion, although, it will provide the emotional feeling. Love is an inward
feeling and outward action and both must be part of the equation for unity to take place. Love breeds unity because the inward action is the same as
the outward action and there is balance. The outward and inward become balanced and that alignment allows you to observe the unity between you and
your environment.
In summary, if you want to experience love, joy, harmony, etc., you will have to consider that love is more than an inward emotion. It is a universal
binding agent caused by the resonance of inward and outward action.
