April 2, 2021“I think, therefore I feel, therefore I am.”
Factual-thinking does not mean to live life like a robot. Factual-thinking allows us to resolve and eliminate cluttering and nonfactual-thoughts so that our remaining factual-thoughts will lead to generating our emotions. When our emotions are generated as a result of factual-thoughts the feelings that we feel become pure and genuine because they are based on how we should feel rather than based on how we want to feel.
Although René Descartes has stated of the relationship between thinking and existing as “I think, therefore I am”; his philosophy is based on the thinking process creating doubt which is a form of cognitive analysis. Descartes states “I think I am, because I doubt, therefore I exist”, which is a philosophy that is relevant to existentialism. Our existence is not in question; the issue-at-hand is the understanding of our existence relative to our own Self, relative to reality and relative to everything else. Thinking is made up of multiple thoughts and each thought generates a feeling that we feel; therefore, Theory of Self-Relativity defines the relationship between our thinking and our existence as:
I think…therefore I feel…therefore I am…
Hence;
“To feel good…You must think well.”
