Today’s Wisdom:

Developing Subtle Feelings

“There is a subtle metaphysical definition of feeling that is slightly different from the one you might be used to. If you tap the back of your hand with your knuckles, the impulse of that touch goes to the brain–and we call that “feeling”. However, the impulse of that tap is really a sensation, not a feeling.

When tackling a problem, the intellect might say, “I feel we should do this or that” But the mind doesn’t mean: “I feel.” What is means is: “I think.” Most of what the mind says it feels is not really feeling at all – it is opinion.”
