There are three basic kinds of thinking:

1) When memes, mentalities and conditioning do your thinking for you. (giving the illusion that you are thinking you own thoughts)

2)You are doing your own thinking (and the thinker is the thought)

3)Thoughts are "downloaded", created, formed and blossomed in and from a higher space. (perhaps a higher gauge-symmetry space)

At least 70% of people do predominantly the first kind of thinking.
