What is a thought? What is it made out of? What is their purpose Where are they from?

That just confirms what I'm saying. Everything is thoughts, our lives are thoughts.

No one can write a reply in this thread without thoughts.

No. How do you know these are thoughts? What is a thought? Experience or having a thought is your direct experience  or someone teach you that? Who teach you that? How that person knows that thought is “thought”?  You “think” “you” are alive now? Or you are alive within thought process? So if you are alive within thought process, that mean is you are not alive, and thoughts are not thoughts. Thoughts are exist  for so called “you” as you, as your so called life. There is no such a thing as “thought”. Thought is belief itself.

Perceptions are not thoughts. Thoughts are concepts, ideas that use the language as estructure . They form the I, are irreal , like the I

Who says? You already pointed out that this is the only way we get to communicate, and now you're just giving your own crappy feeling thoughts and beliefs more power over mine. These thoughts and beliefs feel better than yours, and since feeling good is love and truth=love, I'm right and you're wrong, and I love you very much. I mean, it's Christmas! You got a bunch of other stuff you do like, so stop focusing on the one orange you got that you didn't want. 

Well, whatever.

Thanks for telling me that you love me. I don't think it's true though, but it still feels good to hear.

Yes, not everything are thoughts. Perceptions aren't. But whatever. You guys can keep thinking that thoughts are nothing and that they don't have any effect on your lives etc.

I'll just add: according to Ramana Maharshi, the entire universe, including perceptions, are thoughts.

So if thoughts cease, the universe disappears, according to him. He might be right.

Definitely. Universe is just a thought as “thought “. There is no such a thing as universe nor thought.
