    Dear :T:,

    >> My question is more along the lines of: "What is defined as the
    thought?". During observation of the 'mind-chatter', that which is
    observed is sensed much more like a wisp of feeling below my observation
    or *within* the observation. It becomes what I would categorize as a
    thought when it is consciously or unconsciously focused upon, drawn into
    the obserational 'sphere' and gravitates an enhanced magnetic attraction
    to the focus of the self observing. <<

    To understand the definition of a 'thought', one must first understand
    the definition of an 'idea'. An 'idea' is a finite quantity of infinite
    essential meaning as *perceived* by a mental body. A 'thought' on the
    other hand, is what a mind does with the *perceived* 'idea'. An 'idea',
    even though it is a finite thing, holds within itself the potential for
    a countless number of 'thoughts' as the mind processes it. This
    'thought' processing by the mind, is a matter of *personalizing* an
    otherwise impersonal 'idea'. The personalization is accomplished by
    "clothing", if you will, the 'idea' in countless reactions and
    evaluations. Thus the mind *recognizes* a swarm of different
    perspectives upon the original 'idea' that it *perceived*.

    The mind's chatter is primarily composed of *emotional* responses to the
    thoughts the mind generates to clothe an 'idea'. This is a very dense
    and busy aspect of the mind which taps very directly into the
    subconscious.

    When one detaches from participation in the mind's chatter, that
    busy-ness fades to reveal the underlying 'thoughts' and the *thinking
    process* itself. It is within this context that one-pointedness occurs.
    And within the EOM, one directly *perceives* the 'ideas' that underlie
    'thought'.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
