Feelings and their origination in judgments.  'Trust your feelings!'  But feelings are nothing final or original; behind feelings there stand judgments and evaluations which we inherit in the form of feelings (inclinations, aversions). The inspiration born of a feeling is the grandchild of a judgment  and often of a false judgment!  and in any event not a child of your own! To trust one's feelings  means to give more obedience to one's grandfather and grandmother and their grandparents than to the gods which are in us: our reason and our experience.
