    A thought came to me today from nowhere for no reason.

    Sometimes thoughts do appear to be random michael, that is they just pop up from out of the blue.

    But now you mention it, perhaps there is some hidden underlying reason for there appearance that we are not conscious of?

    Do you get ever get any snow in Turkey?

    Yes it snows in the mountains here and there are hundreds of mountains ,you can even go skiing in places.I have thought of the other angle about thoughts coming unbidden to the mind,but are they?It might well be that there is an underlying reason that we are unaware of.

    Snow capped mountains are like the icing on the cake just a thought!

    As for thoughts - its like when we need to go pee in the night while we are sleeping, we may dream we are going to the toilet, then some sensation wakes us up telling us that we need to go for real.Same with eating, we get the sensation of hunger that tells us we need to eat.

    We're not doing anything, although it seems we are, we are not, - we are being done, and the doer is doing it as and through us,
    don't you think?

    Have you ever been skiing in those mountains?

    My eldest son Adam, works and lives in Oslo Norway as a Web Designer for an Online Advertising Company.
    He lives with his soon to be bride who is Norwegian.
    They often go skiing and ice-skating together.

    Adam works in a building in down town oslo only a few blocks away from those government buildings that were blown-up last Friday.
    He emailed me to say he was unharmed, but the devastation all around was shocking.Everyone in the area had to be evacuated.

    Michael, we often wonder where are thoughts really come from, maybe thoughts come from inside the box?

    We are nought but a living intelligent energy of sensations arising.

    This spontaneous intelligent energy plays with the senses manifesting this experiencing for its own sake as it chooses.

    This power is inseparable from the senses and the knowing inseparable from experiencing.

    Consciousness experiencing itself. Doing is done, no doer thereof.

    They seem to come from energy swirling around within our matrix and forming a temporal eddy,this eddy could well become the unbidden thought.
