[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand either. Do you have thoughts? When you go about making a decision do you mull it over in your head? I don’t get it. Please explain.[/quote]

The best way I can try to explain it is like I don't need to translate my thoughts into English words.  I understand my thoughts without words and skip a step - I skip elucidating (?) the thoughts to myself.  Probably similar to how athletes play sports.  I imagine they often don't talk through in their heads in words how to, for example, kick the ball in soccer, they just know to do it and kick it.

But if I need to mull over something, I sometimes talk it over out loud.  Really, I talk to myself a lot.  I might be cooking and speaking out loud like:

"Okay, I need that spice. . . Ok got it.  Where's the knife, oh there it is.  This isn't sharp enough, I will get another. . ."[/quote]

If your thoughts are not comprised of words then what are they comprised of? Are you talking about your subconscious?

90% of human behavior day to day is subconscious. This is when a conscious behavior becomes a habit and we no longer need to be effortful in the task. We complete without conscious effort or thought. Conscious effort, such as a new recipe or new task, requires thought. But it too with enough practice can become a subconscious behavior. Is this what you mean?[/quote]
