In 1827, Robert Brown 'recognized' the molecular level, henceforth,"how" was that information utilized? Analogously, in our skull, out of sight, there is "thinking PROCESS" going on;
'how' we utilize 'that' information? Just as Brown was familar with 'matter' BEFORE recognizing molecular level, we are familar with thoughts in awareness. The thinking PROCESS occurs 'before' thoughts 'surface', where they are acknowledged/observed.
How do we intervene at the PROCESS level, now that we recognize what is unobservable but going on, whether molecules or brain cells, synapses?
Are 'thoughts' a useable commodity? Only if recognized as such, otherwise their autonomously 'in charge'. The tail wagging the dog.
