Level 1 in understanding a human body

Are feelings important?

The answer is yes. Depending on which one.

If a feeling from your youth is blocking you from going any further, or makes you move 24/7 because otherwise you feel worthless, then it's time to say goodbye to those feelings.

But most of the time, feelings are incredibly important.

The problem with feelings is this: I think a lot of people don't understand at a default level how to actually feel feelings.

A feeling you feel with that body part. You can think about feelings, but sometimes, you have to feel that specific scary feeling in that specific part of your body. Which is not the same as thinking about, or observing it.
