You say you can see a 'thought' as an image, ...so if I point to an image and ask you to identify that image as to what is it? will you just say it is a 'thought' ?
and then say the same for every image? ..is that it then, nothing would have a label, the label for every image would be the same in that every conceivable image would have the label 'thought' ?
Do you not see how weird this is starting to sound?
.
Also, you say a thought is seen as a feeling..and yet no one can see a feeling, same for sound, have you ever seen sound?

Sounds like you are posting from desperation to make your point look more valid here, I don't understand why people have to fight against obvious truths that are staring them in the face.
Why can't we just be really honest with ourselves about the truth of reality instead of twisting things round all the time, mixing apples with oranges just to fit into our own unique model of how we think it is?
Reality is not what thought thinks it is, no matter how you would like to believe it is.
Let me put it like this....you know a sound, but you cannot see a sound.
You know a thought, but you cannot see a thought.
You know a feeling, but you cannot see a feeling.
You know pain, but you cannot see pain.
Do you get the gist?
This knowing, is awareness....and without it, nothing could be known. And even awareness cannot be seen, it is known in the experiencing by awareness alone.
