My belief is this: an emotion is the body's response to an interpretation held within the mind. Each emotion is the body's preparedness to act in case the belief turns out to be true. The body does not evaluate the mind's interpretations, but instead loves and respects the mind enough to take it literally. The mind can contain multiple, sometimes conflicting interpretations. Therefore, the body can also contain multiple, sometimes conflicting emotions. By mind I refer here to both conscious and subconscious aspects of the individual mind.
Perhaps at this time, your mind has such a light and gentle release of any interpretations that emerge, that they are not held long enough for the body to develop a response. Perhaps also, the master circuit breaker of this connection has been temporarily disconnected by your higher self for your safety within the current context.
Both Thinking and Feeling in Jungian terms are activities of the 3D body/mind complex. Both can be used to increase connection with Spirit. Both can be used to increase separation from Spirit. In 2D, thinking and feeling are spontaneous expressions of the nature of the species. In masters who visit 3D, both thinking and feeling are totally transparent ways that the spiritual essence of the entity is expressed.
In our lives now, we see through a glass darkly. Thinking and feeling are the two LCD shutter glasses that blink on and off as we accumulate moments to integrate into a storyline. If one lens is stuck closed, you can still appreciate the show with the other. Seeing with both increases the variety of perspectives available for integration. But the value is in what we do about the storyline, not in how many ways we initially perceive it.
Just my own interpretations for you to take, adapt or discard as you like. This is post #512 for me, so you can take or leave a byte and have a bit left over.
Prayers for your daughter's healing and for your strength and wisdom to assist her.
