Question: Where do thoughts come from? and why do we have them? I realise this may have been covered already. Is this part of our higher consciousness, if so I still wonder because when I do meditation such as chakra cleansing or healing and mindfulness meditation I sometimes go beyond my thoughts, this is very hard to achieve but I have been there a few times, what experience is this? I remember once reading that our thoughts are a process of what we are perceiving and making sense of in our reality. When I go away from my body what reality is it? the universe is that the real reality with no thought? why do we need thought and have it? Namaste Suzie
