II.   Mind (PSY)

Thought or thinking is a visual Form created in the Mind, including the process of its creation involving the five (5) Systems of Consciousness of the Mind (conscious, interconscious subconscious, superconscious and ultraconscious).

The word Thought originates from the ancient Gaelic word thorth meaning “fertile or creation”. Hence the literal purpose and meaning of thinking is creation.

Thought or thinking is distinct from learning, reaction or perception in that the source of cognitive influence is internal rather than external.

The process of thinking and Thought involves a maximum of six (6) distinct phases being Inspiration, Reception, Inception, Conception, Visualization and Realization:

(i) Inspiration is the first phase of thinking and the source of the thought derived from the ultraconscious to the superconscious; and

(ii) Reception is the receiving of the inspiration by the interconscious and its acknowledgement; and

(iii) Inception is the translation after analysis of the received inspiration by the interconscious into some meaningful sub-code instruction and then fed to the conscious as well as the sub conscious; and

(iv) Conception is the translation of the inception code into symbolic significance and the building block for visualization underpinned by some emotional state; and

(v) Visualization is the completion of the conception into some still or dynamically moving series of images; and

(vi) Realization is the active observation of thought by the conscious such that it permits the superconcious through the interconscious to see the thought.

The depth of thinking may be defined according to whether the first four (4), five (5) or all six (6) steps of thinking are completed:

(i) Shallow thinking stops at the conception stage and does not attempt detailed visualization or comprehension; and

(ii) Creative or detailed thinking stops at the visualization stage; and

(iii) Deep thinking stops at the realization phase.
