אות - כה

The thoughts in one’s mind are truly among God’s wonders. Thoughts exist in the mind in groupings, like bundles stacked one atop the other.

When a person needs a fact, he remembers it by drawing it from its place in his mind. This itself is a great wonder, for where was this thought located until then?

Many associations and symbols are located in these bundles in the mind. One remembers a fact because one encounters some idea that stimulates the association and symbolism associated with a particular thought. That idea is then brought forth out of all the bundles arranged in one’s mind.

When a particular thought emerges, all the other thoughts in one’s mind are turned over and rearranged in a different pattern. [It is just like the physical case, where removing something from a parcel or pile causes its entire order to be rearranged.]
