Why are perceptions & feelings mental fabricators?" "In-&-out breaths are bodily; these are things tied up with the body. That's why in-&-out breaths are bodily fabricators. Having first directed one's thoughts and made an evaluation, one then breaks out into speech. That's why directed thought & evaluation are verbal fabricators. Perceptions & feelings are mental; these are things tied up with the mind. That's why perceptions & feelings are mental fabricators." |
