At times one would think that it is impossible to stop thinking.
We have been so used to be told what to do and what to think, that it's even unthinkable to not think!
But in the off chance when we are not thinking, we slip into a state of feeling.
Feeling is not thinking as it doesn't happen in the mind.
It happens in all of our being- our sense perceptions.
Thinking cannot define feelings because feelings are not conclusive.
Feelings are fleeting, feelings are to be fully experienced in the moment.
That feeling need not and cannot be described.
All the mind can comprehend is that it is a 'nice' feeling.
Let's take love. How does the mind define love? It cannot.
That is why there are so many different definitions of love coming from just one person.
And no one ever said that love is evil.
Love is all there is.
Connect with love through your feelings.
Here's how to differentiate the two;
Thoughts.
1. It seeks self aggrandisement.
2. It's a past event.
3. It's a future event.
4. It makes you feel anxious.
5. It makes you feel regret.
6. It makes you angry.
Feelings.
1. Connected to everything & everyone in the present.
2. No resistance to what is.
3. Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching everything as they are. With no judgement.
4. Paying attention to my interior (my body, inner space,) as well as the exterior.
5. It makes me happy.
