A Mindfuck Of An Insight

[Rilles]

How is it possible that thought knows that I have a feeling in my body? Might seem obvious but really think about it!

What connects thoughts and body?? 

[molosku]

Obvious answer would be that it is not a thought that knows it. That itself is a thought that is known, but I sense that it's not quite what you mean? 

If I got it right, I have a counter question for you:

What is it that (seemingly) disconnects the body from thoughts? What part of reality makes that distinction and how is THAT something distinct?

When people speak about body and thought I don’t see them being separate at all. Thought seems to be a function of the body. 

What I would say is that brain/intellect is intelligible. As in intelligence can work through the intellect/brain and its conditioned patterns to end those conditioned patterns...But it’s like a one way relationship. As in we cannot cultivate intelligence by means of thought/intellect, but  to end that movement to cultivate clears the conditioned field so intelligence can operate. This is how I see it though my day to day so far.

The central nervous system, the pineal, corpus callosum with the base of the spine.

I never said thought was a subject, I was pondering how it is possible that one sensation happens in one place where another can respond to it, Im guessing awareness connects all of these sensations.
