"I Think" v. "I Feel"

I think it's significant that the distinction Philosophy 101 professors always tell students to make between what they "think" and what they "feel" doesn't come naturally.... and never does. The experience of thinking, particularly of trying to figure out what the source of a feeling of discomfort it, is difficult to detach from feeling. It starts there. And I suspect there are associated feelings for various stages of thinking, in which there's probably a lot of interpersonal variation. (What else is certainty but a feeling? Kripke too confuses a feeling of confidence in knowing how to go on with grasping a rule.)

Linearity:Holism::mono-tasking:multitasking.

Linearity is more enjoyable ("flow"), more 'sequential' in modes-of-learning speak, but also is elusive for me. I like the kind of thinking that just happens, like a change of aspect. But it's frustrating because there is no method for making it happen. It's a passive action both in having no recipe and in feeling passive. (There are 'basic actions' which have no recipe but do not feel passive--e.g. raising an arm).
