Where are the real thoughts?

I think our inner dialogue, that steady flow of language passing through our mind is considered by many to be actual thought, but thoughts precede this stream of words and symbols. Our most elegant thoughts, those precipitated by Spirit aren't always interpreted by our inner dialogue. Those are instances when we know that we know, but don't know how we came to know, except by Inspiration. Attempting to share these non-verbal messages is problematic, and the words used to make these attempts may be based in science, religion or spirituality, yet behind those attempts is Spirit, reaching out collaboratively with an imperfect human vessel, to share a measure of Love. It's important to honor and appreciate Spirit, in both ourselves and the other person, even if the person is using the "wrong" words to convey messages that are close to the Heart. Doing that activates the Discernment that will lead to the best outcome.
