Where does thought come from?
365271
From a part of brain called CEREBRUM, that is situated in the middle brain. All our thoughts & think processes are composed there.

I think that just for the fact that you asked if we THINK that we have one was pretty original in and of itself. I mean, it kind of conotates that even though we THINK we might have an original thought we might not have because how do we really even know for sure. Well done, that was probably the most original thought anyone had ever thought of that I've read. Well done.

Thought can be seen as the emanation of mind.  Mind is all (everything) there is.  Mind can be seen as the activating agent of Spirit (God), as your index finger can be seen as the activating agent of your hand.  Thought is more than we have understood.  Thought forms your reality as you know it, based on your beliefs, emotions, and expectations.

Then, what is a thought??  We always try to separate the mind from the body.  For instance,  is something a mental or physical problem.  A thought in your mind is a really physical complex interaction that involves neurotransmitters and electrical signals.  So when someone feels pain whether its chronic or acute, yes it is a thought yes there is a specific chain of reaction  that is occuring in the body and head.

A reasonable answer could be given if you believe in soul concept.\n \nI think Mind indeed is a separate entity but in spiritual realm. In physical realm....Mind and our body functions are interrelated. Thoughts arise in Mind, then we weigh the thoughts(good vs. bad) and then we do the action(either physical or mental). Ofcourse all these things happen very fast.\n\nI dont think thoughts arise only from what we see. What about dreams that we get. Sometimes the dreams are so wierd that its unlike anything we have clearly seen and remembered. Ofcoruse it the characters in the dream might be familiar but the story or incident that we get in dreams are some times so wierd that it did not happen but its very well orchestrated. I think Mind can manifest its own story sometimes without us seeing or hearing at that moment.

This is what we spend all that time in school for... were you paying attention and doing the work? lol!\n\nIt is not the first impulse or first fleeting idea that we control, but what we do with it. If you let go of negative impulses and thoughts, and grab hold of positive impulses and thoughts, you will condition your mind to only produce the ones you want to have.

"Let us reason together", sayeth the Lord.\n\nChristians are not saying you shouldn't use your mind. They're just telling you "don't be brainwashed." It would seem to me that your idea of "using your mind" means accepting as fact something that not only hasn't been proven, but in actuality has been DISproven, and is held to with religious fervor by so-called "scientists". I assume you are speaking of the fallacy of evolution, which has been disproven by every major field of science.

Our minds usually accept the dogmas and myths of our culture. Most peoples' minds become programmed with the beliefs of their era and society. They don't think for themselves but let their parents, their friends, their favorite TV show, or what cultural beliefs  implant  in them. To be able to form sound opinions and make effective decisions, you must know how to think critically.  Enlightened thinking involves the careful consideration of multiple points of view and keeping our minds open to alternative sources of information. Unless we work at becoming critical thinkers, there is a natural tendency is to limit our ideas to only those that are easily available, never really discovering or considering alternative sources of information.  Christians and most people following dogma and never think to question what they are learning.  Sheep - humanity is in reality a herd of sheep.

Purely environmental.\nYour next thought is generated by function of your surroundings.  You are sitting down and your but t itches.  The immediate thought is, I need to scratch.  Once the itch subsides, the thought process moves from itch to comfort.  Now, you are typing away, and your fingers are aching from answering these questions, and so, your next thought is to crack your knuckles,   you crack them, it feels better, and back to answers.  After all your thought while idle is, oh no I am losing points by sitting idle".  So you start to type again,  soon your but t itches again.  Time for a shower you think.  But  HOW  TO get this keyboard into the shower, else you lose points.  Hmmmm, such a dilemna.

I would discuss the controversy surrounding the concept from a neutral stance.  For example, where does the idea come from?  Why do some people claim that such an idea doesn't really exist?  How do other groups rebut that argument?

My thoughts on this, however crazy they may be, are as follows:\n\nWe only use a fraction of our brains for everyday thinking. Science has proved this. So what is the rest of it being used for? We have a vast subconscious mind that is capable of processing more information than the worlds largest supercomputer! Therefore, since our dreams come from our subconscious minds (way deep down in the back) they are far more capable of being truthful than our everyday thoughts. I think deep down, we all know the entire history of the universe but our brains are wired for everyday ignorance so that we can function properly and not compete with God.\n\nI know, it's crazy but that's how I explain it...

current thought approximate its origin to India circa 1500 B.C. by a well known mathematician named Aryabhata. \n\nthe invention of zero is an important development in human abstract thought because the counting system was initially created to "count" things and not "nothing".  \n\ni am pretty sure it was also concieved independently by other cultures as well but written and archeological evidence at present best support the India origin.\n\ncheck wikipedia for "zero".

Highest form of mind doesn't think. Thinking (information processing) is for finite minds.

Short answer: My brain.\n\nRight and wrong doesn't really have a source.  There's no spigot you can turn to pour right or wrong out.  It's not a substance.  It's not a form of energy.  Right and wrong are judgments.  Such judgments are formed by the brain.\n\nThat said, people tend to have common morals because of a common human experience.  This includes some genetic selection.  Many of our morals come from instincts that have worked for us as a species.\n\nAnother source of morality is society.  There have been countless societies with various moralities.  As societies have competed, some moralities have proven more effective at allowing people to live amongst each other in relative peace.\n\nThat, btw, is the purpose of morality, to allow people to live close to each other.\n\nWhen it gets down to it, though, the "source" of your morality is your brain.  My morality is influenced by my human genetics, the world I live in, my country, my state, my neighborhood, my culture, my friends, my family.  But ultimately, I decided, for myself, what my place is in society, what I want to do with my life, and how I think I should relate to other people.\n\nI can go on to explain how people with different morals come to common morality and how that translates into laws in society, but this post is already too long.
