AMUSING MUSINGS:
Micro Tale #381: "FEELING" by Leon Enriquez
~~~~~~~~~
Thinking involves thought. Thinking has two aspects: logical, and emotional. Thinking is truly a part of our feeling nature.
~~~~~~~~~
Thinking is the characteristic of mind -- which is concentrated and perceived with the brain as thought. Yet the mind is universal. The mind stretches far beyond the limitations of the human brain which is a unique, receptive function in the human being.
~~~~~~~~~
Thinking enables us to figure out things, and acquire useful information about our environment. Thinking is a creative aspect of mind over matter. Thoughts are things. We first create an idea or mental picture in the mind. We then transfer this mental picture or thought blueprint into actual form. Our creation in true substance is thus visible to our physical senses.
~~~~~~~~~
Thinking gives rise to knowing. To know is to acquire knowledge. Knowledge by itself, is useless unless we put our knowing to right action. The outcome of right action is right experience. Right experience, right action and right thinking enables an individual person to acquire wisdom.
~~~~~~~~~
Wisdom is feeling distilled from experiential action and authentic thinking in a certain way. Wisdom expands our understanding of the outside world that impacts our senses. Wisdom connects us to the inner world that inhabits our creative imagination. Wisdom shows us the kingdom within, unseen by our physical senses but available to our intuition. Wisdom makes heaven on earth possible for you.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling is about knowing without knowing. Feeling is over and above shallow thinking. Feeling causes us to act spontaneously. Our feeling nature is more trustworthy than our thinking process. Why? Because over-thinking can often leads to inertia or non-action.
~~~~~~~~~
It is true that our false self or superficial ego needs have a tendency to want more control over outcomes. This self-fulfilling stasis is mostly compounded by fear of loss rather than to risk everything to gain brilliant success. Fear of change is thus the main cause of human stagnation and degradation.
~~~~~~~~~
We prefer the comfort zone of the familiar rather than the excitement of change that mushrooms great success. Here, our thinking process can be flawed because it tends to compare the present activity with past references.
~~~~~~~~~
Thinking often undermines our feeling efforts because thinking involves risking the comfortable status quo against the fear of failure. Fear tends to hold you back from meaningful progress or favourable succcess.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling is about following your heart. Feeling is about heeding the promptings of your soul which is superconscious. Your soul resides in your heart and contains the vast subconscious. Your soul knows much more things than your conscious logical mind. Yes, your limited human mind cannot always comprehend or fully understand everything your sensory traits observe.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling is often based on a gut reaction or a strong touch of the heart. Feeling simply knows just the right time to act. Not sooner and not later but the exact moment to take action. This feeling is more intuitive than can be reasonably explained. Your feeling nature simply knows with precise synchronicity how to make things happen for you. That's if you heed and act upon its directive with courage and faith.
~~~~~~~~~~
Feeling is about following the heart without abandoning the rightful counsel and clarity of the mind. Yes, a mind that is not seduced by insidious intent, or hidden agendas. To develop the feeling nature is to live with simple common sense. Feeling is about the value of right and wrong behaviour that is both dynamic as well as intuitive.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling your way may be a better way to live life on your own terms. Feeling is certainly more reliable than merely recycling your prejudices over and over again. Or living the lie of hypocrisy, conceit and deceit. Feeling is authentic and never fake.
~~~~~~~~~
Plain common sense based on true feeling can be your ally if you cultivate your thinking process and feeling aspect with a balanced perspective. This is not an easy task considering the stress and strain that confront you every day.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling -- when guided by calm, sanguine thinking and a proactive approach to an event or life situation -- can be an uplifting experience. What you feel is truly undeniable. It is really your brand of the facet of truth to you.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling propels action. Feeling boosts action in the direction your soul empowers. Positive or negative outcomes merely show you where you are. You achieve success in positive terms or negative terms labelled as failure.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling is a function of being. Even failure can be transmuted to success if you learn the lesson from failure. Failure is a tool for learning what works and what doesn't work.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling is a quality of human nature. It is a gift that helps you know your purpose in life. Your unique purpose (your why?) in life inspires your passion (your how?) and your reason (your action?) for being here.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling is the vital attribute that tells you that you are alive. Because you are alive, you have the potential to grow, evolve and express your potential -- here and now -- on your own terms.
~~~~~~~~~
Yes, feeling in a world of endless change and curious wonder validates the human experience. Imagine the endless possibilities and boundless permutations available to you. What a wonderful blessing! And it all starts with feeling.
