Thought and it's origin.

Thoughts and perceptions spring up from unknown sources. Our perceptions are a combination of those perceptions which we like, and those which we do not like. Sometimes, we like certain perceptions, and sometimes we dislike certain perceptions. We may carry forward our dislike of a perception, to a perception which we normally like. This mode of function is also true of thought, free from emotion. We may progress our thought on a subject, along any line, that our thought may take. Normally, our thought is guided by our emotions, and our emotions are guided by thought, simultaneously. But, though the one guides the other, thought is completely independent of itself, and emotion is completely independent of itself, which also infers, that thought and emotion are completely independent of one another. All our perceptions are completely independent. Then, how do we gather our perceptions into one perception? That which makes us gather all our perceptions into one perception, is not known, because our perceptions do not know themselves.
