Which comes first, feelings or thoughts?

[vedame]

In a chronogical sense, which one is first? Do we react to a feeling with a thought which then influences our behaviour/actions, or the thought comes first? 

In one video (I think it was the one about addiction, I’m not sure anymore) Leo talks about the importance of regulating the interpretative filter of the brain. Event—Brain’s interpretative filter—Thought—Emotion.

But is it possible that the emotion or feeling is just “there”, and it provokes thoughts; in other words, that we cope with emotions through thoughts? What is the source of the feeling then?

If you had no thoughts, how would you feel?

If you had no feelings, would you even need to think?
