From reading this series and following the thought experiments, hopefully it is beginning to be clear how we could look at Mind in one of either of two states:
Feeling
To stay in this state we must remain in a state of acceptance, of appreciating the finer qualities of what actually is.
Thinking
To engage in this state is to place our attention fully or partly into memory. Memory as in stored information. This includes, thoughts, ideas, concepts, knowledge and strategies..(such as how could I make "right now” to be more comfortable).
I am not sure if we are able to be in both states simultaneously or if we are just switching between the two very quickly, it would be interesting to know, but probably not important for this discussion.
Knowledge
We “acknowledged" was ideas that have been qualified via our own experiences or of those we trust. We define knowlegde by isolating the underlying patterns of causation and effect. We call these stripped down formulas, "facts", even though they may only be so within certain contexts or restraints. This is all very wonderful so long as we remember….
Ideas
Wether they be accurate articles of knowledge, direct personal experience or total nonsensical fabrications, are perhaps, not nearly so important as is the way they are anchored.
Anchoring our Identities
Ground floor...props, accessories and trophies, ladies underwear and cosmetics, mind your step..ding!..just kidding.
If we are using facts or fantasy to prop up our identities. Either via the feeling of “belonging” to, being superior to, or deserving of (en-tittled to), then we are affirming a separation and a potential threat, that needs to be monitored and defended.
Making it real - embodiment of belief
Anything that is perceived as a threat to identity is taken as a threat to our biology, as though our personalities and preferences were part of our bodies. This is what is meant by taking things personally - if my brain and blood chemistry are altered by how other people respond to my opinions, (wether they be fact or fantasy) then that is attachment.
It’s ok, its normal, its just not nearly as much fun as the alternative..
Price of judgement
If we need reality to be a specific way before our blood and brain chemistry and our muscle tension can return to comfortable levels - then we are attached to our opinions. We have formed an identity out of them and they will now punish our biology, our bodies.
Fair Conditioning - The wheels of Karma
Regardless of how accurate or important those opinions are, even though we selected them to control others, we are the ones who end up enslaved to them. Kind of a cosmic joke really 🙂
Morality or Wisdom
This is why morality as a concept or series of rules is very limited. As real actions of agenda-less behaviour, kindness is the only possibility we have to express morality. That form of leadership is actually very rare but impossible to ignore.
Wisdom can only ever be an action, the words are merely an invitation to re-join reality. To feel and be present to the aliveness of it as flow. We may add to or alter that flow, indeed movement is life, but if we do so out of personal “need” rather than playful expression, there will be turbulence and pain.
Filtering
Today we have covered some pretty heavy terrain, so I don't want to go much further. However there is one possibility that is very close and worth taking a look at while we are here.
Reactive need - that tightness in my belly, like, I just gotta “let them know” how it really is. You know, for “their” own sakes. There’s nothing in it for me…hell no.. I am just giving fair warning.. blah blah. We all know how that one works out right?
Is it all Fantasy?
What really, can I absolutely be certain to be 100% right about in every possible scenario? Apart from what is already happening? Actually not that much..
Instead of seeking acceptance for all this “blah”, that It turns out, I am not all that certain about after all…. lol.. I know funny right?
What If I GAVE acceptance instead? What would that look like, what would it feel like? Would there be any judgement in it? Thoughts may arise from it, but I would not need to apply them, could even just let them float on by…after alll, I am not personally attached to them, right?…why would I be?…what am I, without all the filters, preferences and conditions? Am I a drop of conscious water in an ocean of other conscious biology? Biology that has been flowing in and out of itself, sharing the same carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and other organic chemistry for 100’s of millions of years? (Don’t ask me, I did not even know I was going to write that lol..)
The real point is - how would it affect my relationships, the quality of the emotions flowing between us..
If I gave rather than sought.
The gift..
Of attention with the quality of acceptance?
Might even feel like love?
(Ok I know I am embarrassed - take care - have fun - enjoy the ride)

@freemoceanisnow
According to me you should always do what you feel, feelings can never be wrong. It always leads us to the right path..
This is my point of view, everyone has there own.
Interesting for myself, it depends what I am feeling.
Am I sensing reality without a story added.
or
Am I feeling my story, is that creating turbulence that I "need" to act on?
One is an allowing, or a dancing with
The other is resistance and non acceptance of..
The results will be upset and confused communications
or
Graceful interaction
Biology was always perfect, even its "flaws" lead to new possibilities.
Its floors create new ceilings to break through lol..
Thank you ....next part of this series
Yes we u know that mind have two state i.e thinking and feeling .
But thinking is not always right but feeling is always right because it is connect with our heart. You heart place is left but it is always right.Many times our both state of mind creates war in our mind . In that case we have to listen feeling of heart.anyways this is my point of view and m not a biological student .@freemoceanisnow

Once again, there was an opportunity to read in the best ideas. In this world, humans are also well aware of awareness. Knowledge gives awareness to man. The awareness gives birth a feeling. Everything is set to feelings. YOUR knowledge is best. Thanks
