Hi All (and Dear Meg!) - I am looking for a bit of clarification on this topic that Meg went over last Sunday (4/7).
I got: Thoughts are the conversation within and between emotions. Emotions are the ripples and waves that arise from the turning, turnings of the samskaras. Feelings are the embodied experience of thought and (experience? or?). They weave together the 3 (?) - Ok I realize that I missed a few details here 😂 - so I wanted to reach out for those details here. Maybe it's an office hour question. Anyway, I want to understand this because I find in myself that Emotions and Feelings are really tightly woven together, with the Thoughts just putting gas on them. I am not sure how one picks them apart. Anyone?
I can't remember exactly how Meg put it, but this is how I look at it. If we were the ocean, emotions would be the ripples and waves on top, feelings would be the deeper currents that are more steady and much harder to alter, and below all of the that is stillness and ground. Thoughts are the observations and like you said the conversation we have trying to sort it all out.
