Shadow Physiology - Post-Holiday Edition

In your second-to-second existence, there is no comparison whatsoever in the importance of feelings over your thinking.

Even though all thoughts come solely from feelings, at any given moment, the words and images in your mind may or may not bear an apparent direct relationship to the feelings of the moment. 

You could, from this perspective, even say that feelings are your real self, and thoughts, your illusionary self.  The reality of this would also throw bright new light on the seemingly endless conflict men say they experience within themselves.

My method vis-à-vis this alternate model:

“The Acknowledgement of The Obvious,” whereby you see quite plainly, (in both model theory and actual practice), that thoughts are not actual separate entities unto themselves, but are merely registers-of and file-clerks-for feelings. 

Thus, all attempts to directly “deal with” thoughts in some metaphysical fashion is pure foolishness; like trying to learn the workings of a machine merely by watching its gauges; like trying to treat a sick man by ministering to his shadow; like trying to learn human physiology by looking at a man’s shadow.
