“Where are my tools?” yelled the frustrated repairman. Such a situation can be critical because without tools we struggle and can be helpless. In fact, tools for mental tasks are just as necessary as tools for physical tasks — not that we can’t achieve a modicum of emotional intelligence without them by grinding away with determination. However, we can succeed faster, easier, and with more success if we can find the right tools to manage emotions. So, now that we have examined emotional intelligence in depth, let’s take a look at tools we can use to achieve intelligent emotions at a faster pace.
Grabbing Hold of Unseen, Ethereal Tools
We need tools for emotional intelligence. But, you say, tools are things, solid objects that we can lay our hands on — or so we think. Are there unseen tools for the mind and the heart? Tools of the spirit? Yes!
Where Do We Find Tools to Manage Emotions?
However, these tools are less familiar and less understood. They can’t be bought. And they must be made by each individual from thoughts and ethereal powers such as will and imagination.
Not everyone does a good job of making them and due to infrequent use, they often get lost and must be reconstructed again and again.
It already sounds difficult, doesn’t it? But read on. Don’t lose heart.
What might these tools be?
Tools for Emotions
What tools get a grip on feelings, limiting their runaway tendencies and lessening their power?
The good old faithful mental “wrench” made of sheer, brute willpower is, at times, useless. At other times, necessary. But it is the only mental tool most people seem to know and use.
However, there are other mental tools, abstract ones that provide no obvious handle to grip. And we will find ourselves making and using them as we learn them.
These unfamiliar and ethereal tools can prove very successful in a practiced, understanding hand.
A Note About These Unfamiliar, Ethereal Tools
We must understand how each tool works.
We must practice the use of each tool.
Please continue the journey with me over the next few months to further our understanding of intelligent emotions and discover the tools we need to .

Our first and most important task in a world-changing mission is to learn how to think straight (and teach straight thinking) and combat the insurgence of crooked thinking in our culture and in our world today. If we become passive victims of this crooked way of thinking, we promote it. Furthermore, if we remain silent, we also give it credence. In Who Am I?, the reader progresses from how we have become “crooked thinkers” to how to break out of this prison of the mind to become instruments of change for a better world. We do this by recognizing from where we derive our value as humans. “Build a straight and powerful mind.” ~ Ray W. Lincoln
