what is a thought?





What is a thought? Simple answer: I don't know.

Next question: is it possible to control the mind, or is mind beyond control? Does mind flow relentlessly forward under its own momentum, or can one slow down the speed of thought? Can one deliberately focus the mind and prevent it from getting distracted with discursive thoughts? Can one prevent the mind from spacing out, daydreaming or fantasizing, when one wishes to focus on a set of thoughts or concepts, or to pay attention to something?

Simple answer: I don't know. Have a look and see. Look at what's going on in your mind.
