Hi Third P.
I am led by what I feel and by what I know & believe.
I may see something, but it doesn't tell me all the facts. I can make speculations about what I see; but I must then get the facts about what it is I am seeing.
For example, in the field of psychology, if I see a patient come in wearing unkempt clothing & looking disheveled, I might speculate that he is depressed. However, I cannot be led by this; I must get more information. I do that, and I find out that his home was burned down three days earlier & he hasn't been able to get himself together yet.
However, in the same vein, in psychology, I must be led by what I see as well as what I feel — both. But they must still go along with my knowledge of things. Usually, a therapist CAN make some judgments about a person by the way he/she dresses. Also, the hand movements & body language also tell the therapist much. So, I AM led by what I see, but, again, it must go along with knowledge.
In another situation, if I am walking down a block & see a group of guys of a different ethnic background, I am NOT led to cross the street by what I see. However, if I see a group of guys, regardless of ethnicity, who are acting rough & aggressively, I might be led by what I see AND feel & cross the street. If I feel they are giving off "vibes" that seem dangerous to me, I will act to protect myself. So, it took a combination of BOTH seeing and feeling to lead me to act.
With both - seeing & feeling, I must incorporate knowledge in order to be led to a decision or an action. By being led by what I see or by what I feel without any other information, then I am being led blindly.
Knowledge is power.
Knowledge is truth.
Peace.

They are the same thing. If I had no questions about what is unreal for not having a concept for it, then I would say I am not led, I pursue, but then I probably would not have the power of language either. The question of the unreal is not as dualistic as some assume, as there is no normally used middle term for the two extremes nor a description for the members in their kind or family, i.e. why is a thing described as unreal, is it made of plastic, is it an hallucination, a copy or forgery, not of the individuals understanding, not ordained in the church or what.
The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative

You would have to be led more by what you feel since the blind only have their feelings. When our sight is taken away, our other senses will take over, like hearing or feeling. Touch tell us a lot about things. Heat for instance we may not see it but we certainly would feel it if it was too hot. The touch of an iron we cannot see but it can burn us so you see feeling would have to come first and I would be led by it.

I'm lead by what I feel, as a person with a physical disability, who's been judged by how she looks and walks. I've learned to take not take people on face value, to learn who they are as people before deciding if I like them or not. Seeing with your eyes if for the most part superficial and if you don't see with your heart than your missing a great piece of the puzzle. Seeing with your eyes only gives you the outward appearance of some thing and not the whole content. With out that you're stuck with out all the information that you need to form a informed decision.

I am led by what I think. What I see and feel are just factors in the decision that I make to choose a path to follow.

After seeing 300 I certainly think we need to re evaluate what we are seeing these days. But I think they both really go hand in hand, and because of what might NOT be while we are viewing it with our own sight, we need to listen to the feelings in our mind, body and make determinations from the "gut" sometimes. There is a saying...that we were all given "spiritual discernment (intuition)," perhaps we all should use it more wisely.

Not one of them because i see things and i feel things, but not everything I see is real, I mean you see the stars in the sky at night, but some of it had been died since long time but What you see is its ray light, which had left this stars since hundreds of years ago, as well as for what I feel, it is not all that I feel good, it happening that I feel anger of someone then I can not separate the person and his or her actions in accordance with what one Saints had said "you must fight evil but do not hurt Evildoer" then i feel i hate him what is the thing which tell me that the star might be not exist any more? what is the thing which tell me that i should not feel that way and i should to forgive and do not let a place for hate? that is the mind .
thanks yahoo

While how powerful that is you have relly got me thinking on that one. I personally think that I am led by both at times. You know because most of the decisions that I make are on my part, but then a gain there are times I admitt I have folloesd the crowd!

Sometimes one, sometimes the other, depending on which is rational. If both are rational and it makes no difference, then I have fun chosing.
