The thought claims itself.

If you think you control your mind: predict your next thought before it appears………You can’t. 

Thoughts just appear. Uninvited. Conditioned. Completed.

Then the mind says:
“I thought that.”
“That’s my opinion.”

But an opinion is just a thought agreeing with itself while pretending it's divided. 

It isn't. 

Think about that. 

Or don't…
