- Between our emotions and perceptions, there’s a connection, in the mind. When the mind is clear of thoughts, emotions flow purely, and perceptions pass through unhindered.
- Thoughts mirror what we feel and perceive, and when we think consciously, emotions and perceptions find ways to connect.
- If we give too much awareness to the thoughts that arise, our emotions and perceptions become blurred. We might react unconsciously to our emotions or misinterpret our perceptions.
- Find a quote and explore its initial meaning. What was the author trying to express? How did they reach that interpretation?
- Notice each word’s meaning individually, then consider the order for a deeper logic and emotional expression. How does your thinking unfold? Where does it happen? What does it mean to think?
