Thought
Its interesting function in Mind. We have many explanations and philosophy for thought. But here I am going to describe in simple way to understand what it’s all about?
Perhaps it’s like a block box, to reveal this we need some other tool. So called self

Once the pattern matching is done our brain generate the linguistic thought for the Tree.
Non Linguistic thought
Right now we can’t imagine about Non-linguistic thought, because once we learned the language then all our thought which is based on the linguistic only. In some rare occasion we can experience the Non linguistic thought.
Imagine when you are at the age of 5 .that time human temporal lobe doesn’t developed or won’t have much words or symbols to do the pattern matching. So we only understand the world by simply touch, Smell and sound. Interesting thing is we even don’t know the color difference up to the age of one.
