I tried to post this as a new topic. Because it is sitting idle in the proposed topics category, I thought may be I should post it here.
1. How does thought originate?
2. How do you recall something from your memory?
Probably these two questions are similar. But I think they are different. May be their mechanism of origin is similar.
If you believe in mind body dualism, then, they may have an easy answer. But is the mind different from brain? Or is it a 'metaphor' used to signify the collective out put of the brain?
