what are thoughts and how are we able to perceive them?

What do you think? What are thoughts, images and feelings and why are we able to perceive them

what are thoughts and how are we able to perceive them?
I view thoughts much like a blank painting canvas.
Everyone starts out the same.Blank.
Through external stimuli information gets added.
As new information is added the canvas changes.
This process never ends.
So in my perception.
In a world devoid of external stimuli would thoughts be our own,
Haven't quite figured out just what my thoughts would be like in that respect.
Which makes me ponder this question.
Is anyone truly an individual.

Much has been written and discussed about thoughts (where they come from and who owns them , etc) but little is being discussed about the benefit of learning to control thoughts. Thought Control has been a magician's primer for centuries and yet gets pooh poohed on ATS.
There is no 'I' that thinks - there are just thoughts appearing and disappearing.

We are receivers of thought ...
We do not make the thoughts we receive
What we have is choice in the thoughts we follow
No one receives thought. There is no one 'in there' so there is no choice.

No one receives thought. There is no one 'in there' so there is no choice.
If so then "no one" has used their thoughts to reply to me
