Our thoughts are mainly controlled by our subconscious, which is largely formed before the age of 6, and you cannot change the subconscious mind by just thinking about it.

The human mind evolved always in the company of the human body, and of the animal body before it was human. The intricate connections of mind and body must exceed our imagination, as from our point of view we are peculiarly prevented from observing them.

There is, I conceive, no contradiction in believing that mind is at once the cause of matter and of the development of individualised human minds through the agency of matter.

Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think.

The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.

If you over-think, it affects things too much; I work instinctively, like painting in a way. Think too much, and you ruin everything.

We must always think about things, and we must think about things as they are, not as they are said to be.

Any thought that is passed on to the subconscious often enough and convincingly enough is finally accepted.

This is another major feature of thought: Thought doesn't know it is doing something and then it struggles against it is doing. It doesn't want to know that it is doing it.
