Feeling is another state that I believe is probably our natural state. It is much quicker than thought/intellect state,
I agree.
and I believe due to that it is impossible to grasp intellectually what is taking place.
The state that you describe is merely "acting instinctively" (without interference from our prefrontal cortex).
Instinctively = Naturally
Being the case, coupled with the meddling of intellect as it runs unchecked in most people, the question that quickly positioned itself to me years ago was then who placed the intellect within us, guiding its imprint on the masses to cast its spell(ing) to enslave? And to what goal? Once one sees these positions the questions manifest by the tool of enslavement (intellect).
To what end, who knows. It all comes across almost as a game by beings whose motives and purpose would be unknowable, especially given all the intricacies that make up what we do and experience that obscures being awake/aware.
This has been a most interesting discussion with you. I've had most of these discussion during my life since a young age with either books pointing at these things, and the many different thoughts/spells (intellect) that cascade in front of myself, the witness. You do me much honor engaging on this most difficult topic that most would find bizarre and perhaps maddening, to be avoided. Thank you.
Conventional Wisdom would lead us to believe that "intellect" is "required for survival".
Conventional Wisdom would lead us to believe that a seven year old, abandoned in the forest, could NEVER survive for more than perhaps a couple of days at most.
I admire your fearlessness.
