No, your feelings are just valenced geometrical encodings of various aspects of your situation as interpreted by the perceptual mind. Of course they need to be trained.

I appreciate this extreme abstraction and find it interesting. But let me know if you find the person who controls their feelings successfully. (note: a clear definition of "feelings" is an absolute requirement)

What about letting yourself emerge over your feelings, instead of controlling them? Instead of identifying with the reasoning control layer, use it as a tool to deal with the outside world, and let your feelings self-regulate.
