Feeling

Feeling is the middle of the three soul forces that affecte human soul life. Feelings are not normally experienced fully awake, but only dream-consciously.

Conceptually, feeling is to be distinguished from the more drive-like or will-like emotion, although this differentiation is often not recognised clearly enough in immediate experience. Feeling is guided, even if only dream-consciously, by the I, which is not the case with blind passionate emotion, in which the astral body or the ego takes effect more or less directly, unfiltered. In colloquial language, feeling is often also called sensation; in philosophy, psychology, medicine and biology, however, this refers to the elementary processes of sensory perception excited by the influence of stimuli, i.e. the pure sensations of the senses.
