The Relationship Between Thoughts, Feelings and Sensations

A man asks, ‘What is the relationship between thoughts, feelings and sensations?’ Rupert replies that a sensation is the way we feel the body, such as hunger or pain. Perception is how we experience the world, such as hearing and tasting. Thoughts are the story that accompanies the sensation. Afflictive emotions are sensations plus a story. Very often the body carries sensations that are associated with a chronic, existential feeling of lack, which is the core of the ego, and can feel all-pervasive as long it is not seen.
