What is thought and where does it come from?
We give the name known as thought when we scramble concepts inside of our conscious mind. We can refine this thought in degrees of action, for instance – we’ll meditate, concentrate, ponder, contemplate, Etc. So, when you ask someone what they’re thinking about and they say nothing — they’re really saying, none of your business.
Thought has a residence called the mind, and the mind has a residence called the brain. This brain has two chambers, the conscious and sub-conscience, with the sub-conscience being the greater. I can also call these two chambers, the physical and the spiritual.
Thought originates spiritually, and we pull from the spiritual chamber to the physical chamber. If you don’t like that analyses, I can say from the sub-conscience to the conscience, and that’s where we’ll begin.
God created us in His image and likeness, (Genesis 1:26) and He didn’t create us to be absent of Him, (John16:7) and the connection is through our mind. He tells us that in (Romans 12:2), paraphrasing: Don’t get caught up in what your five senses reveal. We can override them when they’re out of control with thought — from the word of God. (Ephesians 4;22,23,26,29,31,32), paraphrasing: Your mind is your connection to God, but you can mess that connection up by acting like this corrupt physical world ignoring your spiritual righteousness for your spiritual unrighteousness. (Philippians 4:8,9), paraphrasing: Think about what you’re thinking about and act the way you were created to be.
Here are a few more – Paraphrasing: God made a way to reveal too us things we haven’t yet learned, (Jeremiah 33:3) … Paraphrasing: Watch ourselves thinking and talking about the good old days, it’ll be seven times worse for us than before if we act, (Matthew 12:43-45) … Paraphrasing: Arm yourself with the same mind that is in Jesus, (1st Peter 4:1,2) … Paraphrasing: Let this mind be in you which is also in Jesus. (Philippians 2:5) … Paraphrasing: We have the mind of Jesus, (1st Corinthians 2:16), we’re supposed to think like Him … (1st John 4:17), As He is so am I in this world … Paraphrasing: I can do what Jesus did, (John 14:12).
These are some of the righteous thoughts passed to us from the spiritual world and it’s the main reason for (Romans 12:2), paraphrasing: Don’t act like this world; don’t pick up on it. Renew your mind with God’s teachings so you can hear from Him. We hear from God spirit to spirit, or through our sub-conscience, (John 4;24), (John 3:24) and (Romans 8:16).
Pride destroys, and leaning toward your own understanding is failure shortly, paraphrasing: (Proverbs 16:18). This verse is an example of the kind of thought that can be passed to you that’s un-righteous from the demonic side of the spiritual world.
These versus illustrate there is a God — a God communicating with us continuously through our mind — using thought — spirt to sprit, by itself from the physical realm, and independent of our conscience mind, but with evidence from the spiritual world; shaped in our sub-conscious mind. So, what is thought?
Thought is a spirit, either of God, or of Satan.
