Nov 24 2012: Good question Luis but, I fear, it is one with no simple or beyond a shadow of a doubt answer. My ideas go toward thoughts as being a property of an all pervading Energy. Maybe quantum entanglement can help describe the random, controllable, and metaphysical aspects of thought. I hope this article is helpful.
