Emotional Thinking a Way to Counteract the Ego in the Intellect - (1525)

Introduction

We can actually think intellectually, emotionally and instinctively etc. When we have the ego in our intellect, such as an ego that has a streak of ill-will we can counteract it by thinking emotionally.

I have tried this and it does work. In fact, I have seen many people doing this very naturally right there in front of me and it has worked for them. They wearable to change their line of thinking to something more neutral, balanced and noble.

Thinking Emotionally

To think emotionally is to bring emotion into the intellect. To use our imagination to see the person that we are upset with as a human being with emotions, to see how they have cared for perhaps us or others in the past, to see their difficulties in their life, to see things that they have trouble with and to see their vulnerabilities and anything else that we can emotionally conjure up.

Doing this has the effect of getting our our emotional centre to work in a way that favours them and then the effect of the emotional centre working neutralises the coldness and ill-will of the ego present in the intellect.

Give this a try, it will definitely give us the chance to contrast and then we will be presented with a choice, which is some space to which we can decide within. In that moment of choice we have a moment of freedom. Then we can if we want to, displace the rotten ego in our human machine, which is currently threatening to create some difficult and lamentable circumstances.

It is always better to do good! Doing good pays much more!
