Origin of Thought, The psychological and esoteric views Options

Most people believe that the thoughts they have originate in their own minds, come from inside themselves, but I read somewhere a mention that modern psychology has demonstrated that this isn’t entirely true.

In your opinion, how and where does thoughts originated?

the mind is just a mirror, reflecting what the body hears, sees, smells, etc..
You can see your thoughts playing on the mirror that is the mind. But the thoughts themselves are directed by your higher self and your senses.

The mind is like a notepad, where you keep drawing things on, where your senses write their perceptions down. The mind has no intelligence of itself, whatever is displayed on it comes from other sources, It may seem that when you try to solve the following equation 45*7=??? That your mind is the one that gives the solution, but that is wrong, when your brain finishes it merely prints the solution into your mind. And sometimes, when it is difficult the problem will be split up into parts, and the parts are printed upon your mind temporarily also.

But the mind in itself does nothing, it merely displays and holds information for your viewing pleasure.

What you think can easily be influenced, there is nothing special about it.
If some girl in public pulls her pants down, i will think something entirely different from what i would have thought when she kept her pants on.
So she is directly influencing what i think.

I can plant the following thought in your mind:
"I am a monkey"

See, it was written down in your mind while you read this text, even if just for a brief moment.
Read the following, word by word, see if it sticks.

I am a monkey
I am a monkey
I am a monkey
I am a monkey
I am a monkey
I am a monkey

Is it sticking you monkey?
