Ra mentions in 42.11 they are merely signposts like we call emotions 'markers' in psychology - they just point to something that we're trying to make more conscious.
MBTI distinguishes feelings and intuition By the way, Jung saw them as separate constructs.
I don't mean to give the impression that emotions do not have a biological and chemical reflection in the body. I just don't think that is where they begin.
Imagine for a moment that you are discarnate, a spirit with no chemical vehicle. Would you then be an emotionless robot? I would argue the physical apparatus only reflects the inpouring emotions which begin in the mind complex.
I'm familiar with the distinction Jung saw between them, I just don't see a significant distinction between them myself, in my own personal experience. They both arise in response to focus, in my experience.
