This is a neat article, which I have to agree with. When I examine my thoughts carefully, I have to admit that they just appear where my awareness can see them. They must have been created elsewhere, and that elsewhere seems to be the subconscious. Perhaps my awareness can have an effect on my thoughts (free will??) but I'll bet it's a complicated feedback loop where my subconscious takes my awareness as one of its many inputs. Maybe.

In any event, Happy Birthday!!!
I think you're right about feedback loop program(s), Vac. Shows that it takes something special to keep us from being merely clever robots.--S29
