I would be grateful for any feedback to thisquestion.

The best course of action would be to trace the source of ‘thought’! When a mother conceives, there is no life/conscious in the ‘piece-of-meat’ until the 72nd day of its conception. If there was conscious in the atoms, which originally formed that ‘piece of meat’, surely there would have been conscious in it at the very beginning of its inception! On the other hand, the spiritualist believes---and it is being shyly accepted by the science fraternity too, that there is conscious in the atoms. So why is there no conscious before 72nd day of its conception? It is also an accepted version that the brain of the child, at its birth, is completely blank, that memory starts being stored (interlinking of cell’s connections) in its brain only after its inter-action with the external world. But the spiritualist believes, especially in the east, that each new born comes with a garland of its past karmas! Contradictions! No, though every atom is conscious, but it becomes patent only according to the scheme of nature. Ideas are the by-product of desire, which in turn is impelled by the ‘will’, which is directly sourced from the soul---or from energy, as the scientist would say. God ‘will’ & the world---that will is the word/idea/thought, as you will! With love&regards.ls
