I can do it. "It thinks through me". Something uses me
to think. I think that I think, but it's not my own
thinking, but someone's, or something's else. Nothing
difficult in that. Or, to be even a little less
egotist, "the world thinks through me", me being part
of the Whole and not an individual bag of skin, as I
believe somebody said (Watts ?)
