Thought as an abstract form

The brain generates and uses countless abstract forms/objects. The elemental abstract forms are thoughts (as elemental organic forms are cells), the most complex are skills, sciences, languages etc. Abstract forms/objects, although non-dimensional (shapeless), are energetically real (not 'imaginary'), as material forms are real (telekinesis, moving material objects/forms with thoughts, is a direct proof of that). Quantum physicist David Bohm (see: Thought as a System) among many others, also realized this, and dedicated many of his efforts bringing up the importance of thoughts to humankind: "Thought runs you. Thought, however, gives false info that you are running it, that you are the one who controls thought. Whereas actually thought is the one which controls each one of us..."

According to Rupert Sheldrake every abstract form, like every organic form, relates to a certain morphic field.

Unsigned comment

I came to this entry hoping to see various psychophysical, epigenetic, or perhaps esoteric(new thought, rosecrucians, theosophists etc.) hypotheses to the question "what is thought?" Surely a thought or abstraction is a thing composed of matter an energy. I found the entry to be quite unsatisfying.

merge with idea

what's the difference between a thought and an idea?!

That answer is online here - http://cnx.org/content/m14812/latest/

also, many differences and the relationship between thoughts, emotions and feelings is discussed in my online book "The Psychology of Emotions, Feelings and Thoughts" online here - http://cnx.org/content/m14358/latest/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.248.163.183 (talk)

Thinking effects

Result 1:

Favors in thinking comes from lacking of understanding how something works in life.

Example: Business Business owners use the limitations of human's education abilities as a tool for producing primary products for customers use for a profit range which changes as the economic cycle turns in stages.

Ex: TV mational and international People's lacking in knowing hoe electronics use electric energy for powering up a TV device.

So animation and vibraion from audio to reproduce a copy of a recording that will have fans amazed for centuries.

So this is one example that cause a business to be great from having people use there limits in understanding as a main source to buiness gains.

So everything is all about what people know and what people don't know. Key concept (patterns in life)

Cognitive Science

This subject EXPLICITLY studies the mind and its precesses. However, it is composed of many subjects including AI, Psychology, Philosophy, Linguistics etc... Should some of these subjects be replaced since cognitive science "absorbs" them? After all, the field is dedicated to it.

Common hyperlink

is the hyperlink to common really necessary? doesnt add anything to the article and makes article seem more cluttered. Tospsy (talk) 22:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

It shouldn't be linked per MOS:OVERLINK. Phlsph7 (talk) 11:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Nature of thought

This article very articulately and in great detail outlines various types of thoughts. However, I'm actually looking for a definition of "thought," and for that the article is disappointing. What, exactly, is a thought? Does it have an independent existence? What is the nature of it's substance? Is it physical? Just ponder: the brain works by firing neurons. They create an electrical impulse by the flow of sodium and potassium ions across a membrane. That is the totality of the brain's mechanism. So how can sodium and potassium ions crossing a membrane produce a Shakespearean sonnet? How does a "thought" emanate from the transmembrane ion fluxes? Some exploration of those aspects of thought would help this article. 70.187.40.175 (talk) 03:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for your feedback. If I understand you correctly, you are not looking for a definition in the traditional sense but you would like to learn more about the metaphysical dimension of thought. Some of this is covered in the subsection Thought#Metaphysics. Is this roughly the topic you had in mind? Phlsph7 (talk) 08:17, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Shortening

I feel like this article needs some general cleanup, and mostly in shortening some sections. MiniMikeRM (talk) 23:15, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
