Original Thought

The laws of physics are inescapable in the natural world. Are there laws in the world of the mind that dictate the direction of thoughts? Are there several goups of laws? Or, when faced with something new, is the mind truly able to move in any direction? Is the direction we think is unique, in fact not? Or is each decision based upon every previous decision or experience, and therefore every person’s thought actions unique? Does the human mind cling to the idea of uniqueness only because to be not unique is to perhaps be not human? How unique does one person have to be, to be human? What level of uniqueness constitutes humanness? If two people experience the exact same experiences, when faced with the same decision, will they both act the same way? Who is to know? How can you answer this quesiont with certainty? If there are no laws that dictate the movement of thoughts, are thoughts then a part of nature? Or are thoughts a part of something more? They are, in fact, extremely powerful. As powerful as the wind, the waves, the sun. they can cause as much good or bad. However, the wind, the waves, the sun, they are a part of nature. They are governed. At least we perceive them to be. Are they? Can one prove it? But what is to prove? Is something truly proven if the proof is discovered via thoughts? For thoughts are controlled by perception, which can be altered. Even if many people perceive something the same way, that does not mean that way is right. But what is right? What is truth? Can you truly trust anything created by man? All things are created (things being thoughts, for now) based on thoughts and perceptions. However, if concrete thoughts, or any thoughts at all really, are not controlled by laws known to be true, then how can you trust said thoughts? Faith and trust, two decisions that must be made very carefully.
The law of gravity. Gravity existed before we knew it existed, but the law did not. It was created. We accept the law, it seems to be right. Do laws such as this also govern the creation of thought? Is there any way to know? What could be gained with this knowledge? If there is no law that governs the creation of thought, what does that make thought? Are thoughts God? What other concept exists that is governed by absolutely nothing, and can create something from a collection of other little things? Are thoughts created from anything? Where did the original thought come from? And why?
