Thoughts appear.
Of appearing thoughts are the thoughts ‘thinker’ and ‘thinking’.
As thoughts are identified with (thought attachment), it seems that ‘I’m the thinker’, and or ‘I’m the one thinking’; my thoughts, my thinking.
For that separate self (which exists only in accordance with thoughts), feeling is objectified as separate objects, such as ‘feelings’.
Therein there seems to be, ‘my feelings’ and or ‘how I feel’.
Again though, this is only in accordance with thoughts.
In direct experience, in feeling “itself”, no actual separation is found, such that there is or could be a separate self, a ‘thinker’ ‘thinking’ which has or possesses ‘feelings’.
Feelings is a conceptualization of feeling on behalf of a separate self of thoughts.
Emotion is how (appearing) thoughts feel.
Put another way, awareness & ignorance is ‘there is separation’, ‘there are humans / people’ and ‘I am a human / person’, and ‘I have feelings’ / there are ‘my feelings’.
As compared to awareness is appearing as thoughts, and emotions describe how thoughts feel, and ‘human’, ‘person’ and ‘feelings’ are, thoughts.
Emotion is therein intrinsic guidance, as emotions describe how apparent thoughts feel, to that which is appearing as (thoughts).
Creator-Creating-Creation creates, by appearing as.
