   Do we produce thoughts, or do thoughts produce us?

   Which brings to mind both:

   Chaung Tzu: Once upon a time, I, Chuang Tzu, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.

   and

   De Chardin: We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
