CORE IDEA #3: THERE IS A SOURCE OF THOUGHT

Think of a tiny air bubble pushing up from the bottom of a pond. As it gets closer to the surface, it finally bursts onto the surface as a fully formed air bubble. The air bubble represents our thoughts. They start deep down at the source of all thought - the silent "pond bed" of our minds. Thoughts form and move through our minds, unnoticed by us, until they pop into the part of our mind where we recognize them as a conscious thought such as, "Uh oh, late again!"; or, more annoyingly at 3 o'clock in the morning, "Fred Nottingham! That's the name I was trying to think of!"
