I don't know where this is going. It's an honest question, I guess. So all thoughts appreciated.
Okay, so let's see if I understand what you're saying. If I read you correctly, what we "are" is the sum of our experiences and our thoughts about them? Assuming that's right, where do the thoughts themselves come from? Are they from our experiences alone?
Peace.
