Well kind of unwound myself. Now let me try and theorise what is thought?
1.)thought is conciousness, which is also the soul. An expression of the soul in this world is thought.
2.) thought is conciousness, there is no soul, and it will end with the persons death. It is a complex function of the electromagnetic waves etc in this universe.
The first hypothesis is easy. It squarely puts everything as metaphysical, trasfers logic into faith and gives way to a soul which ultimately will be part of our creator the GOD. In this realm things are not really 1+1 = 2 or even P(1+1)=f(a,b) ie probability of the action is a function of some other variables. NO NO, i have started to bable like the priests of science. So, we will take this discussion in the places of worship or with people of great faith. Let it wait for now.
Lets see what the second one has to tell us. Its but OBVIOUS that brain has the thoughts.
Lets see in terms of our basic understanding what do we mean by it. Take the sense taste.
We will make sense of it. take sugar and put it on the tongue. Delicious!! When the molecules of sugar touch the tongue, some kind of receptors is set off. Like we can open a lock with only its respective key. This receptor sends a signal to the brain telling it that sugar has entered the mouth. The brain now has a kind of signal pattern generated in its neurons that is repeated every time we taste sugar. This pattern is the same everytime. Am not sure whether it is exactly the same! So this electrical signal firing through the brain actually generates the thought sweet or delicious.
Hmmm..... think about it. Digest this fact. Now if we cut the tongue - so much the better, cos most poeple dont like me talking - and find the nerves that carry the signal to the brain, activate it to send exactly the same type of signal that sugar produced, will we feel sweet?????
Can we fake sugar? Answer is YES! We are not so advanced in this technology but we defenitely know that signals to the brain's various parts do feel like actual experience.
This is nonsense you say. You think those guys fake it. How can you taste when you got no tongue. Ooops I am tongue tied or am I?
What about dreams? when we dream we dont actually do all those things, but to a great extend we do feel all that.
So what we think and what we feel happens in the brain and not in the sense organs in our body.
INTERESTING.
So what happens in the brain?
Take some magnets and play with it. We can feel some invisble force in action. If we jump up we come back down. There are forces in this world that we experience and yet do not completely know or understand how it works the way it does. And these forces are in some way involved with the process of generating thoughts. Energy is made up of electromagnetic waves. Some how these waves must be playing in a way to make itself aware of itself.!
I AM stuck here.....cannot move further. Means i do not know what is thought. Sorry.
