Thoughts are things, but not physical, tangible things.They are discrete units of consciousness.
There may be a physical frame, but consciousness is not a physical thing.
They are physical to me.
I not only tell a stranger their life history from conception onward, but physically move their body by touching traumatic memories many feet from their physical body.
Just two weeks ago I was presenting to a group and a woman volunteered. She was about 50 years old and had severe abdominal issues that I felt as soon as she came up. Twice I told her that the root cause of the problems was personal and we should talk afterward, not in front of the group. But she kept insisting so I told her it was caused by the abortion she had just before twenty years old.
She responded that she was nineteen and the abortion almost killed her and she ended up in the hospital. I explained how the extreme guilt was still with her.
The memory of the event was stored as a hologram many feet from her body at the intersection of the two aspects of consciousness. When I touched it, the memory reverse bridged into her conscious awareness and she felt like I punched her in the stomache.
