And many or most of us have had many lives in both types of body.I think the 60%/40% from personality testing hardly suggests this kind of strict dichotomy?

I like eating this type of food. This type of work makes me feel good. That type of work bores me. I like feeling good."In other words, to be able to interpret catalyst to a minimal degree such as waiting until it becomes an emotional issue. Yes, I agree that's important in order to eventually progress.

The "feeling" is just an unpleasant body sensation. The "thought" is, "Being Alone." It's good to use thinking and feeling working together to figure out, "I am afraid of being alone." Takes both, in other words, to know what's going on inside.It's just the degree of information processing from oneself one is willing to accept. Both feeling and thinking are "thought", with feeling being from the periphery of wholeness offered by our unconscious and thinking being a more pointed determination. Thinking is like forming links in a chain, while feeling is how the chain may be linked. Feeling is from time/space (a yin principle) and thinking is from space/time (a yang principle).
Each density (and subdensity) has a bias to yin or yang, it alternates with odd numbered be yang, and even being yin. Also the emphasis of orientation (again also subdensities) alternates from me (odd) to we (even).
