And in case this question comes up,...
Someone may ask..."well if thought cannot create, how does it know how to create a vessel out of form?
Again, thought does not create independently, it does not originate. It uses form to co-create. Some prehistoric man observed clay in the ground. He pulled the clay out and experimented with it and observed the results. One day he observed that when he heated the clay, the clay became hardened and if the clay was shaped in a concave that objects could be contained within the hardened clay. So his reflections led to the invention of a vessel. At no point did he mentally materialize "vessel" purely by thought.
