If so, how did those -pure? -pristine? -raw? ideas "get here?"
And what about untrue thoughts? Where do they come from?
We'll have to discuss this truth concept. We use truth tables in programming; truth has a value, 1 or 0. Sometimes we want the 0, sometimes the 1. There might be some quantities in our world that also have a truth value of 1, and others that have a truth value of 0. Also, some people might consider a truth value as 1 at some time while others consider it to be 0 at the same time or another time.
Maybe there are some truth values that are considered 1 by everybody forever. Can't think of any of those at the moment, but then it is the political campaign season again.
What is an "untrue" thought: a thought you do not have? a thought about something that is untrue? or a thought you believe is true, but about which you are mistaken?
Thoughts do not "come from someplace." Thoughts are something we do. We can do them (think) correctly (in which case the thoughts are true) or we can do them incorrectly (in which case the thoughts are untrue.)
So long as you think thoughts are something that happen to you, the simplest things will remain a mystery to you.

Where the hell did you get this from my simple statement?
Your talking about thoughts, all I was talking about was the mere ACTION of thinking.
