Where do thoughts come from?

Have you ever tried saying the very first thoughts that enter your
brain (mind?) (Be careful!)

Sometimes you'll have good thoughts like "I love Jesus" but other
times you'll have bad thoughts like four letter words, thoughts that
don't make sense, etc.

Thoughts if nothing else exist in God's Mind but some seem to come
from an evil source, human or demonic perhaps. I notice some people
speak outloud or even act out their thoughts. What accounts for
this? Is it a way of excorsing the devil or EHS (evil human spirits)?
How do you combat evil thoughts? What if they happen while you're
praying?

Yes.

But it's a good question, isn't it?

Praying and trivial things like "saying the first thoughts that enter your
head" are of course not the way to go about it.
If you go very deep into meditation - very very deep - it is only there you ...

Yes it is a good question - but trivial stuff like "saying the first thought
that enters your head" and superficial prayers are not really "thought" or
thinking.
The deeper you go then naturally the...

Well if he has no thoughts of his own he may as well be a wind up dummy.

We operate differently from you.
As a vast collective - hugely vast and all connected - and as our overall
desire is to enhance happiness - joy and our state of being - then the
Collective will or desire is for these kind of thoughts to manifest.

A song will be born that will enhance our existence. An idea. A way
forward.
Humans have thoughts that are not like this.
They want a new material possession a great deal - or they wish to do harm or
do bad things.

So naturally our "source" would be different from yours. As we ONLY want
happiness for each other - love - good things and we NEVER want anything bad
or wish or want any bad stuff for each other.
