What does our thinking? Weigh over ourselves, over others, and we can exercise...

We can ask, how do I think? There are several ways to answer, I think obsessively, I think its bad, I trust, I think positive, I think not...
But... Why do I think? Maybe it is not convenient to confront this question so directly, and to say rather:
What is the use of thinking? Even more than why... What do I think for?
What do we do when we think? For what purpose is thought produced?
Here I can give an answer, and that is that thinking serves, in my opinion, to do. Thought aspires to materialization...
When I think of a question, why do I think about it? Is it not obvious? I think to answer it, to give an answer. To materialize the question it is necessary to answer it, if not what would be the use of thinking the question?
When I think of an answer, or a statement (which would be an answer without a question), why do I do it? To make it exist... In this way I can assure you, that the thought is on the outside.
I have been asking myself, what is the external effect of the thought? Now I know, none. Thought is not an effect on the outside, it is a cause of it.
That is, thinking is in a certain way before the action... But there is action without thinking ... And in fact, you can turn the question around and say that it is the action that causes the thought...
So no... Thinking is nowhere... But everything is in thinking.
Thinking is located in time.
What are the ways of thinking? I believe it's obvious, it's not like we think anything at certain moments and dont at others... We always think, but we never think the same way.
There is a thought that is conscious, it is the thought of now, the thought put into words, the thought represented in our head. There is also abstract thought, thought without language, but it works in another dimension, it would be closer to the feeling, we feel in thoughts.
In the domain of language, are the same variables handled? It would mean that there is a manifest language and a latent language. Let's take the example of a spoken word, there is the word and the body of the word, that which transports it, the body transmits the word.
What is the body of language? It's the tone, the volume, the vibrations, that which goes to our sensors. Thinking is time, it is context. The body of thinking is content, it is matter.
Many times in psychology we play with this relationship, we often ask the audience: "Let's stretch our arms out in the air, look up and shout with euforia: I AM SO DEPRESSED!"
What happens here? No one believes it, and we usually laugh at this incongruity, why? Because the body of the message and the context (the message itself) do not match.
The value that the words of that sentence bring (I am so depressed) does not agree with the body with which we transmit it (arms in the air, look up and shout euphoric).
What is the relationship between manifest and latent language? What is the context? They are not the conditions according to which the language is produced, but the place where it is produced.
Language occurs outside of us, between us, not inside us.
What happens in us (thought) is out of context, or in a different context. It is isolated, it is within matter, it is in scientific bostry. Isolated by the edges.
Time and space do not touch, they interact, relate in certain way, but they do not occupy the same place.
Time does not go through human beings, time interact with us, but it does not penetrate us. The thought is outside of us. Around us, thought is always tied to something from the outside, to something in time, it is a bond that can be immediate, in spontaneous tuning. Alive. Next to time.
It can also be an elongated, extensive loop. I can take thought away from time. How are the immediate thought and the distant thought?
Far or distant thinking responds to the imagination (production). The immediate thought uses the senses (reproduction).
When we attach ourselves to time and think immediately, it is us. To link our thinking to the inmediate now, we channel our senses into an immediate context.
The memories, the experiences, are suspended, they do not disappear, but they are programmed to be activated and come out if necessary, take power and begin to regulate the organism.
Here, the immediate thought is subordinated to the memory, to the speculative imagination, we act without thinking when we are far from time, we act in after or before, we act according to the abstract.
They would be two different processes, in content. But the context is always the same, they both happen in a certain time, they both happen now.
It's like dreaming. In dreams, thought happens somewhere else and, at the same time, while we are asleep (now).
Sometimes it happens that thought detaches itself from the immediate time and takes refuge in the imagination, it would be the case of psychoses (thought without regulatory experience, spontaneity without reference).
The opposite case, that of the thought detached to the not immediate time, to the distant time, the total dominion of the extended thought, would be the case of a neurosis (thought without immediate content, only content alienated from the inmediate now)
Freud came to these conclusions. The neuroses are the memories in charge of the thought. Psychosis is the time (inmediate) in charge of the thought.
What are we when we imagine? Or rather, what can we be when we imagine? Children show us easily: we are anything when we attach ourselves to abstraction without a sensitive object (ignoring reality), by binding ourselves to hallucination, we can be anything. Anything that simulates the content.
Here is the power of ideas, their ability to define people. It gives them identity. We are what we think, although we think what we are.
