Thinking and Feeling

Feelings

"The neuroscientist Antonio Damasio distinguishes between emotions and feelings: Emotions are mental images (i.e. representing either internal or external states of reality) and the bodily changes accompanying them, whereas feelings are the perception of bodily changes. In other words, emotions contain a subjective element and a 3rd person observable element, whereas feelings are subjective and private. In general usage, the terms emotion and feelings are used as synonyms or interchangeable, but actually, they are not. The feeling is a conscious experience created after the physical sensation or emotional experience, whereas emotions are felt through emotional experience. They are manifested in the unconscious mind and can be associated with thoughts, desires, and actions."

Can you observe what your feeling without becoming emotional?

Thinking is driven by the mind and felt through the emotions. Along with the imagination they describe reality. Observations reflect between the past and the future and are of great influence. An attraction between “opposites” creates the framework (context, background, theater) for a new kind of experience, i.e. reality, to emerge. 

Contrast is a causal agent of change and fundamental to the design process. 

An observer might be considered constant while in fact both the observer and the context are constantly changing. 

Any sense of stability is "felt" by means of coherent resonance. 

Consciousness describes a state of mind that rests beyond the constraints of thought.

Thinking and feeling are attributes that bring light to awareness in every event and experience. 

"To believe is to accept another's truth. 

To know is your own creation."
