On the Process of Thought.

When we think verbally and logically, we construct a mental image in a fashion not unlike the systematic stacking of children's 'Lincoln Logs'.
At every instant, with each log, the Mind refers, by immediate, short-term Memory, back to the thought that was just thought, becoming Cognizant of it.

The problem with Repetition is herein: That during that brief interval betwixt thoughts, it becomes equally probable that the mind is referring back to the Original Thought as it is that it is referring to the Repetition. So long as they are indistinguishable (which they must be in order for the Repetition to be successful) there is Absolutely no way of knowing that the Repetition was successful unless it was somehow Outwardly Expressed. This is why, once an Original Thought has run its course, it becomes impossible to distinguish a Successful Repetition from the Intent of making that Repetition (which may in fact stem simply from [trying to re-live the Glory of] the Original Thought).

This seemingly crippling condition in fact cripples only Common Sense and Prejudice. So long as Thought is Fresh and Novel, sprouting from a healthy, Active relationship with Being, the Sinking House does not occur.
