Emotional Intelligence Series 2. Emotional Vs Rational Mind

Dear friends

I wish you all the greetings for an emerging spring, sun and warmth. I wish you a lot of time for contemplation in february and lets meet again in march with a very important topic for harmonious conversation. Lets reflect and try to observe the characteristics of our emotional and rational mind. From an evolutionary perpective emotional mind is much ancient and fundamental part than our rational mind. Though they have seperate realms of functioning their borders are not clear. Moreover they entangle each other with innumerous neural pathways.

There are a few important questions we would like to look into during our next conversation circle in this context of interplay between emotional and rational mind.

During most part of our dalily activities, I think our emotional and rational mind work in tandem without conflicts. But it is a matter of fact that there are moments they act and pull us in two different directions and make us in a state of conflict and agony.
'Which way we go?'
but also lets discuss and look into
Can we infer our emotional mind with and without the help of rational mind?
Is it possible to detach and view them seperately?
What is the basic formation of our rational and emotional mind?
Is there a need to detach them and look into them seperately?
Are we suffering our emotional mind or rational mind?
Is there a tao of emotional and rational mind?
and many more questions you bring with..

Lets look deep into this very revelatory and profound concept in a very safe conversation circle of cafe philo EIndhoven. I welcome you to a harmonious discussion circle!!
Welcome!
