Hello Brian,
You say:
"It seems that Nicholas is having a hard time letting go of the
current psychobabble that presumes "thinking leads emotion"......
and most self-help books subscribe to this presumption."
I am! I have serious difficulty with this. I wouldn't call it 'current',
particularly, though.
You add:
"Modern neurological research shows that this is just not true!
...........
emotional body-states initiate direct motor response up to
four seconds AHEAD of the modulating thinking action of the cortex."
I need to check up on Libet and others.
In the meantime, I'm happy to assume the existence of an underlying
energy body that reveals its stuckness to me in the form of emotions,
which I can feel and work with directly, without worrying too much where
my thoughts fit into the equation.
Nicholas
