CLEAR THINKING

It is interesting to take note of the fact that the Ego-mind should be described as a rational thinking authority, when most of the time its is incapable to think rationally due to being under the influence of instinctive fears, feelings and emotions. Therefore true rational thinking only becomes possible once you have gained a fair understanding of your subconscious reactions and once you have achieved conscious control over your instinctive emotions and feelings. Whereby you will have freed your faculty of thought from their influence.
In view of this one might wonder if not the intuitive knowing of the heart should rather be called rational instead because the intuition is unfettered by fear and personal instincts and thus naturally capable to clearly evaluate a situation.
