But what is there, even beyond feelings, as we idiomatically think of feelings? There are things that you "know" that you don't know that you know, and that you don't even "feel" in the same way that you feel lust or anger or whatever. There is so much power in this stuff.
I struggled with partitioning feeling-like things as I wrote this. Even the difference between reason and feeling is not very clear to me. I can say the average of what we think of as reason is distinct from the average of what we think of as feelings, but I get the sense they meet somewhere.
this territory is moderated
