Surely, hybrid, you wouldn't make "absolute statements", would you?

Be well..

you're not thinking big enough

Sure enough friend.

I would agree that thought affects ones perception.

In my view, time, space, and what is taken in by the senses can influence thoughts. How one identifies and interprets those things, seem to be what thoughts do.

How much one holds onto these definitions influence, to me, how one interacts with the environment and those things with in it. It also can influence what one projects back into the environment.

All seem to act, for the individual, one upon the other.

Thoughts, to me, in short are the taking and process of information and how to form the information and act upon it or not.

let me ratchet this up a bit

in many people's view, they are separate people living in the world of time and space

in my view, time and space and the world are within me

Friends this is just my personal take here. I think that what we call reality is limited by our thought processes. That's not to say there is no objective reality, but the human mind is too limited by constructs to understand this.

I pondered that a thought is manifested by being other than that which is not a thought, but the dual comparison is not a defined form, thus no image or word occurs to the mind... but the mind is not more than a thought nor is a thought more than the mind, thus the mind exists in comparison to what is not the mind, again being a duality beyond formal comprehension. However there is existence regardless of the mind or thought or the other thing which is not those things which validates them by so not being, and came to the conclusion it must be a trick question... I don't get it.

well, i want an apple to eat but i don't have one. so i think of an apple being in my hand ready to eat. i can clearly picture the apple in my hand. i can almost feel it's smooth slick skin, it's firm sweet flesh. i can even almost smell it. but lo and behold! despite thinking about a yummy apple and picturing a yummy apple in my hand my actual hand remains apple empty. how disappointing!

what's up with that? tch! maybe i'm not doing it right.
