The origin of the English word “thinking” was actually “thanking.” This is also true in French, Dutch, German, fresian, old Anglo-Saxon, and possibly more…
how does this make sense?
it could be that originally all of our thoughts were prayers
all our thoughts served to connect us with creation
our thoughts are not fenced off in a separate individualistic bubble
our thoughts are sent out and meet with other thoughts in a field
thought is social and interactive
it is not an individual thought that creates reality
it is the field of interaction
between your thought and my thought
this is the beautify of dialogue and of exchange
