Thought
What is a thought?
Is it a thing?
If it was, we could measure it - and scientists would be happy.
Are thoughts created inside our heads? Buddhists use logic to find their 'I', but they cannot find it anywhere inside themselves.
Have you ever had the same thought or said the same thing at the same time as someone else?
Perhaps there’s only one source of thoughts.
Maybe our minds are like radio receivers. We ‘tune’ into the thought available on that frequency in the moment? Other words for 'frequency’, are 'mood' or 'level of consciousness'. Both can change in an instant. Just ask anyone who plays sport.
Western Science doesn't study consciousness. It’s a subjective experience of feeling and thinking. Science separates the subject and the (material) object so it can make observations, and count things, while magically ignoring the observer. To a quantum physicist this is an embarasing flaw. Quantum physics holds that it is impossible to separate subject and object. You cannot have one without the other and both affect each other instantaneously.
“At a certain moment of your life you get thought by the living earth.” Martin Shaw, Courting the Wild Twin
