You can't say how you produce your thoughts or exactly where they come from, but the process seems as if it were natural and transparent, as if you freely create thoughts while at the same time are separate from them. You emit thoughts and they drift away, but you can also follow and develop their consequences into new thoughts. Feelings are different, how they come over you is not clear and does not seem clear, and yet you are not detached from them - they belong to what you are as a self. You learn to control them by thought, but only to some degree. That feelings possess a 'valence' - negative or positive, say, expresses a core identity. All of this underlines the closeness of being and will.
