The intellectual mind is a great tool. It has the capacity to focus thoughts and define them in ways that are easily communicated. Emotions on the other hand, are seen to be unreliable, or even as the cause of instability. However, the strong negative emotions that are attributed to instability, are the result of wrong thinking, of thoughts and beliefs that do not support who you are. For example, strong feelings of jealousy are fear-based emotions that are caused by the belief that you cannot have or create what another person may have, or the belief that another person's success will mean your demise.
Strong emotions are always the result of limiting thought.
When you combine the focus of your intellectual mind with the impulses that are given you by your feelings, you cannot help but expand who you are. Feelings are the directions your soul is trying to give you to follow a certain direction, and you can use your intellectual mind as a tool to focus your thought on your goal. If all your focussed thoughts followed your inner feelings which tell you the direction you should be going in, your lives would be abundant and joyful beyond all imagining. It is not sufficient to just simply think about having something that you want to bring into your life, you will need to have a strong desire for it. Desire is feeling.
