Thoughts are things; they occupy space in the mental field
It is because thoughts are "things" that we can observe and talk about the law of mind action and the formative power of thought. The relationship of a human being to "things" holds true for the realm of thoughts. Things come and things go. Some things belong to us and some do not. Some things cause harm, others are blessings. All these observations about things are also true about thoughts, for they are things. All thoughts that come to us do not belong to us. We may have taken hold of certain thoughts that came to us and are calling them our own. If they are negative they will do us harm. But we can let go of these, and further harm will cease. We can then attract new and better thoughts to us. But best of all, WE CAN BEGIN DOING OUR OWN THINKING. This is quite a high attainment, much rarer than we may realize. When we are really doing our own thinking we receive much new inspiration and guidance, because we are then generating an energy that will let more light into our minds.
