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 ?) ===== Philippe Caquant "High thoughts must have high language."
