This is something that I have been thinking (hint hint) for a long time, the connection between feelings and thoughts. For one I have been told, and I feel (hint hint again :) the legitimate criticism that I am a little bit too much stuck in my thoughts and not enough in touch with my feelings.
As a life long observer this is difficult for me since it is much easier to conceptualize and intellectualize life, but when it comes to experiencing and expressing what is really going on deep down within myself I am somewhat incapacitated. For that reason I dont have a problem speaking at length about spiritual awakening, the transformation of consciousness and how to create positive change in life (just view some of my videos on youtube and you know exactly what I mean), and I have a great amount of genuine concern and passion about this world and the people in it, but in terms of matters of the heart and talking about my own feelings and true emotions I become a little bit uneasy and uncomfortable. I suppose that the mean reason is that I just dont have the experience when it comes to expressing what it is I really feel. For too long have I tried to obseve, understand and alalyze the world around me from the standpoint of an outsider that I feel somewhat disconnected and removed from others, and so I am a little bit too much in my head (thoughts) and not enough in my heart (feelings).
Actually I am very much in touch with my own feelings and e-motions, but when it comes to expressing and sharing those with others, well, I just dont now how to do that. What can I say? This is one of my challenges, but recognizing it is the first step in making the necessary changes.
Let me leave you for now with a couple of questions which I think (lol :) are very intersting: What is the connnection between feelings and thoughts, and what inspires them? Where do thoughts come from, and what causes us to feel the way we do? What is more powerful, feelings or thoughts, and what do we have control over, feelings or thoughts?
