When you randomly have a thought, where did it come from

Dont know the real question is: Do you get heavier every time you store a memory or a thought

Imagine if our pituitary gland is really an antenna that catches frequencies emitted by deities

good thread

idk, but it's not just 'neurotransmitters' - There's definitely an immaterial other being element that's responsible for our thoughts (actions?) (this defence works in court btw)

What do you think
 
What do you think
Honestly, I think earth/material universe is unique in this aspect compared to other realities, unique solely because we don't know. We're like the only dimension (out of an infinite amount) where the connection between our lower selves (neurotransmitters, brain, physical body) and higher selves (souls, immaterial thoughts) are completely broken - In a way there's still a connection (because there can't not be a connection) but the way in which the immaterial thoughts are transmitted to our materiel bodies is malfunctioning, we're in some form of metaphysical blind spot

so yeah, idk
 
Can’t tell from my perspective. Thoughts seem to trickle out of the ether... most of them aren’t as useful as the felt weight behind them would suggest. That weight , what I’m calling “intuition” here, is the sense that a thought matters because it came with a certain charge, a kind of pre-verbal salience.

Really, it seems to start with a stack of these intuitive pulses. They build on each other, linking abstract concepts together. Eventually, words catch up and crystallize it all into something recognizable as a thought. (this all happens extremely quickly)

But not every intuition makes it to language. Sometimes it just ends in an image, a memory, a non-verbal sense of meaning, like something felt but not said.

All I can do is describe the process of a thought forming. I cant tell where the initial intuition came from, how my brain is relating the concepts and stacking them. Sure, I can watch it happening, but how it happens is a mystery.

yes dnr I know i might sound woowoo or make 0 sense
