Thoughts on thoughts
You may think you are thinking; you may think you are making your own decision; but you are merely recollecting past experiences and predisposition of thoughts. Just another reason why free will and predestiny can co-exist. The more I learn about the mind (from some psychological readings), the more I realize that our brains do not invent anything, it just recollects and rearranges previous memories. An example would be, you cannot imagine a color that you have never seen, say infrared. Our brain is also incapable of visualizing a world with more than three spatial dimensions, just becasue we had no previous experience of it.

A while ago I was reading a book called “Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking” (which I highly recommend) by Malcolm Gladwell. I also read some random stuff from the web and books from library. A recent one is called “He: Understanding Masculine Psychology” by Robert A. Johnson.
