Thought gives form, relationship, association to experience. The physical world doesn't exist apart from awareness. The inside/outside dichotomy ultimately is unreal. Thought structures "outside" and "inside" -- these are actually a thought-formed relationship. Cells are no less structured by thought than are electric impulses in the brain. In fact, the latter would never have evolved without the establishment of communication by cells that developed brains and electrochemical impulses travelling between cells. The thought that structures the "physical" universe is a "different level" of thought than the biochemical brain impulses we usually define as the only thought occurring. The thought that structures the physical world was called "Logos" by the ancients. Love, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odin, the Norse supreme diety, had one eye, and two ravens named Thought and Memory :-). Thank you for your warm words, John. May your day be radiant.
