Thought and Thought-Process

Modes and Models of Thought
--
A Thought is a word-structure in a spoken language.
Thus a Thought could be classified under the following categories :
Primitive Thought  -
That is in the formative stage, when a spoken word is associated to an object.
Secondary Thought -
That is in the next stage, when a spoken word is associated to an abstract or real physical object.
Tertiary Thought -
Happens in the third stage, when a Thought that is interchanged with yet another Thought.
This gives us the basis for information and knowledge that could be digitized and stored / distributed in terms of data.
Again, a Thought could be further classified in the following 3 ways :
A Pro-active Thought :
That could be a result of the experience of the physical kind. hunger, thirst, rest, sleep, heat, cold, fatigue are the features of this kind of thought which are though 'felt' only in terms of experience. There are however 'emotions' that are not really 'felt' but evoking out of the responses at the mental level.
This could be again either in terms of :
A Reciprocated response or Provocative one.
A Thought-Process could be triggered out in many ways.
Normally, our Thought-Process is a bundled up mix of all these above-mentioned kinds of Thought.
This further complicates the communication through words.

In Comparison and Contrast;
The word 'Thoughtless' and 'Thoughtlessness connotes a double meaning.
You could be 'Thoughtless' in the sense when you lack sensitivity, when you are apathetic towards the feelings and lives of others. Or, You are so sensitive towards the life within and around you, in other beings, creatures and animate or inanimate objects, that though being very sensitive, you don't think of translating your sensitivity into words. As a matter of fact you tend to cease thinking itself, and in that state of mind you discard all verbal structures, formations and formulations of Thought in one stroke.
Then though you may write poetry or paint a picture, compose a musical theme, You are just happy in your creativity and you don't even imagine or expect a reward. In the least, -you don't even think of preserving or conserving your spontaneous joy of such creativity. This joy and happiness is not a trivial worldly affair that could be stored or accumulated. Like the fragrance and beauty of a flower, this comes on its own without intimation or invitation and may take leave of you in those moments of creativity, when Thought is absolutely absent and flutters not. This too could be attributed to the 'Thoughtlessness' / 'Thoughtless state' of the mind.
