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?

Thinking about it, our thought are shaped by the questions WE constantly asks ourself. Wouldn't that is how the mind works? But really, I agree with previous poster and I doubt that ALL thoughts originally of our own creation since there is methods to plant new thoughts inside a mind for example insinuation, presupposition and pacing (NLP techniques), affirmation tapes some people listen while they're sleeping, and mind control techniques.

It is believed to some researcher that the mind are suspectible to outside influence most effectively while a person is sleeping and when their subconscious took over the conscious. This is why it is suggested to listen to the affirmation tapes while sleeping - also if we're casting spells to affect the sleeping person since their natural defenses are down.

So let's expand this abit. What are the known methods, different ways and examples of planting external thoughts into own own mind and others?

By a hermetic axiom, everything vibrates and to affect change/something, we must rise above the vibration. I am sure it has a direct relation to the origin of thought and also to affect it - yet - I have not been enlighted to clearly understand and comprehend it's relation. Anyone care to elaborate please?
