All is identical. All happens within you as you. There is no in and out. You are the sun and body. If there is no sun, there is no you, if there is no you, there is no sun. Because sun and your body is a thought. If you are not aware, nothing is, which is all there is. Because I am aware is a thought.

All good questions...

The answer is in your direct experience. A thought is nothing other than exactly what is appears to be. Appearance without substance.

[iamthat]

Thoughts arise out of nothing and dissolve back into nothing.

So rest in that empty space between thoughts, because that is where we find ourselves.

They are exactly what they appear to be: an imagination

What is an imagination?

[abajaj11]

A sensory or perceptual simulation in the mind with a story.

I perceive I touch a hot iron (thought) and I perceive the sensation of heat (another thought) and the story arises after scanning my memory banks of the first two thoughts that I burned my hand by touching the iron (another thought)
