"From Thought To Experience"

Are you reading this out of curiosity? That title will not (likely) phase you. You take it for granted.  But IF you understood it via insight, your understanding would change your life dramatically.
I invite you to reply how you understand that title.

"From Thought To Experience", indicates experience is derived from thought as well as from environment. Most of us are desensitzed to that fact. Notice how virtually everyone you know attributes 'all' their experience as if derived directly from environment. ( Don't be surprised if you do too.)

Thoughts access images to awareness. Our involuntary reacts to believed-thought-images as if they were perceptions of/from environment. Thereby we customize experience via believed thought images.  Animals cannot 'tailor' experiences, instincts and environmental conditioning does it for them.  Our 'believed images' are "Tailorized Perceptions".
We're familar with 'the carrot on a stick' ploy. ( if your not, search the web). We use 'believed thought images' the same way to get our involuntary to react/move.
Could I devise a test that you could do to verify whereof I speak?  Every morning I get up before my wife.  I started to think that my wife died in her sleep. (As soon as I verify) I would call 911; and tell them and not to send ambulance because it's obvious shes been dead for hours. Do I then call the coroner? Then the undertaker? etc. By that time I was feeling sad and teary eyed.
Then I intervened that 'line of thinking' with thinking;"These images I'm experiencing are functioning exactly like the carrot on a stick; my involuntary is reacting to my images". INSTANTLY
sadness stopped, tears evaporated. I was impressed  at how fast. Our involuntary reacts to current perceptions at each moment,( even if the images are about past or future, the perceptions are 'now'.) If this test "works" for everyone (if they love someone, then surely they feel sad at their passing?)

From outside stimuli to inside experience by thinking. It is written somewhere, you are what you think. But I think you are what you believe! It has to come from somewhere. Why not our senses input to the brain, processed by brain output to mind? pl

pljames: "....you are what you think."  In order to 'be' what you think, you must "believe" what you think.
"It has to come from somewhere. Why not our senses input to the brain." I wrote;"From thought to experience, indicates experience is derived from thought AS WELL AS FROM environment."
Are you 'suggesting' there's only one sourse of experience, via senses? A person can experience anxiety in the safety of their own room by thinking/believing thoughts that provoke anxiety or other emotions.

Did I put a (s) on sense's? There are more than one. Seeing feeling tasting experiencing understanding deciding and intuition plus the ones I missed. Thoughts are exercizing the brain. I would even summize memory is in there to. From thought(exercising) to experience(finished thinking). Thoughts please? pl
