    Dear Vovin,

    >> I guess the question is this: Where does thought begin and the active
    process of consciousness end? <<

    The "active process of consciousness" doesn't end, it merely takes on
    form through thought, word and deed.

    I very much enjoyed your analysis. It shows that you've gotten from the
    observation exercise what it was that you were supposed to get. :)

    Essentially, what you have described are the three Elemental regions of
    the mental body which are permeated with thought.

    Earth region =
    >> * Linguistic thought -> Linguistic thought is a result rather than a
    cause; it seems to be the intellectual emphasis of inner or abstract
    thought, as to consciously convey its meaning to the physical brain or
    memory. It, too, can seem to have a life of its own, although in fact it
    then
    operates solely as a echo of memory or other diverse seperate phenomena.
    <<

    Water region =
    >> * Abstract thought -> Abstract thought, on the other hand, is the
    first inner level of deviation from the focus of action/purpose. If
    pursued, it tends to objectify into linguistic thought, and
    subsequentially distract the focus of inner thought's action/purpose. It
    seemingly has a life of its own, and follows memory/association patterns
    rather than the action/purpose/ideation process. <<

    Air region =
    >> * Inner thought -> Inner thought is in other words the
    ideation-process itself. It is extremely "close" to the center of
    awareness, and races alongside the stream of awareness as if
    inseperatable from it. Attempting to observe it, _is_ thinking of
    observing it. It is the mental
    equivalent of action, or purpose itself. <<

    This leaves the Fire region which you will encounter directly in the
    emptiness of mind exercise.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
