Yes...don't be deceived by the pull of thoughts, sensation/feeling is always primary 🙏. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do the same to emotions as to thoughts. Those emotions are not yours. You can pull that "I thought" out of emotions.

If it seems like emotion is yours or belonging to anyone, that is actually a thought and not sensation. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation.

Very wise & quite intuitive. Without avoidance the amazing thing is how you feel is, Good. The ‘a void ance’ must make it seem as if there’s a whole lot of good & bad.
