Feelings are the reaction in mind when new impulses meet our older experiences. Sometimes these experiences are very deep and serious, as when they deal with our purpose and ambitions in life.
Then very strong complexes are activated. The feelings are experienced as very justified.
If we take these feelings seriously, remain in them and act on them, we are likely to get problems.
From mind point of view, feelings by themselves have no authority. They might be extremely strong and yet totally unjustified. They might also be justified.
In order to see the difference we can take a step backwards, and ask how the feelings were activated. What was the new impulse, and which was our old experience that was activated?
If we do not know about clear mind, we are easily overwhelmed by feelings.
