Eric Putkonen talks about how enlightenment affects thoughts and emotions. There is an effect because enlightenment dispels ignorance and changes one's understanding. And, of course, all action and reaction arise from our current understanding (even thought reactions or emotional reactions). The change of understanding necessarily changes the reactions.
This video is one of 200+ videos about nonduality, enlightenment, and living awake and engaged. Eric speaks in a down-to-earth and straightforward style while simplifying concepts of Advaita / nonduality.
