We must become consciously separated from them.
Together they can work to drive us into darkness.
Thoughts are ideas, emotions attach to them and they act as fuel for our imagination.
Imagination can cloud or distort our views on reality.
They can make us think that what we imagine is true.
This is why our thoughts, emotions, and imagination, along with our beliefs can never be or reveal the truth.
Truth is conscious certainty of reality. It is knowing and not believing.
Robert.
