Day 47: What is Thought?

86:1-87:28

Mary Baker Eddy writes about thoughts as though they were something more than we generally believe:

Mortals evolve images of thought. These may appear to the ignorant to be apparitions; but they are mysterious only because it is unusual to see thoughts, though we can always feel their influence.

See gives history to thought as well:

Do not suppose that any mental concept is gone because you do no think of it. The true concept is never lost.

This unique perspective makes me ask if I have seen a thought and would I be able to differentiate it from a non-thought? What is a non-thought? Does it really matter if I just want to focus on the spirituality?

What is a true concept? Isn’t one idea the same as the next?
