Two things come about when you start to feel: Thoughts with themes constant with the emotion. A mode of thinking / style of mental processing. Feeling = the idea/thought/perception of the body being in a certain way. Definition of feeling: a feeling is the perception of a certain state of the body along with the perception of a certain mode of thinking and of thoughts with certain themes. If feelings are thoughts, they are thoughts of/about the body involved in a reactive process. Feelings are different from regular thoughts; you cannot say i think happy when you want to say i feel happy.
