Thinking and Feeling

spunout · 05-19-2007

Which of the following modes have you experienced?

Pure Thinking. You think without feeling
Pure Feeling. You feel without thinking
Both. You think and feel simultaneously
Other. You neither think nor feel, but some other modes are active.
Nothing. You neither think nor feel, nor anything else .
Everything. You think, feel, and some other modes are active.

For those of you with more than one mode, how do you distinguish the different modes? How do they rank in terms of frequency? Are any impossible for humans to experience?

Pure thinking, both, and neither. "other" is possible but I don't know what to gauge by.

I am always thinking. I don't know how to stop. Sometimes I feel, sometimes not. I'm not sure what "other" means. So I have experienced Pure Thinking, and Both.

*pure thinking
*pure feeling
*both
*everything

I can't really put into words how I can distinguish between them. The thinking almost never goes away, and there are times when I wish I could just make it go away. To feel without thinking is amazing, but it happens so rarely. There have been times where I wished I could truly think and feel nothing, but I am not really sure that I believe that is possible for humans. The only way I think pure thinking or pure feeling are possible is that a person can get so caught up in what they are thinking or feeling to recognize the other is happening so for that time they don't exist. I'm not sure if that really makes sense, but this sort of thing is hard to put into words.

Mostly everything, sometimes both or just feel.

I'm always either excited, bored, overjoyed, curious or hungry. And in addition i can't get rid of my hyperactivity, a need to do something. Thus i often just do things cause i feel like it without thinking through it.
