If you like. But you don't have to know what thought is to know how to think. But you knew I was going to say that. If we had to know what thought was before we could learn to think effectively there would be little point to getting out of bed in the morning. Asking this particular question won't improve the kind of thinking skills I am advertising. There is the eternal question of philosophy: "What is this?" And there is the more useful question of the strategic thinker: "What can we do with this?" Just the same, great post, Chris. I find myself happening to myself all the time, like you. We ARE our minds. So, it is a natural question to want to ask. Just the same, don't hold your breath expecting an answer any time soon. It's closely, dangerously closely related to the question: "What is life?" Or, better still: "What is a soul?" I enjoy immensely thinking about these things too and reading the musings of others about it. Kim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
