David: Not thought, but consciousness can be independent. Thought is a product of consciousness. I view consciousness as an entity all by itself, whether produced 
by the brain or received by the brain.-> Romansh: So you can be conscious without thought?-That is how I go to sleep. I stop thinking and turn off the voices in my mind.
> 
> Romansh: You seem to have more in common with Zen meditators than I thought or was conscious of.

> And what is intelligence? Is it related to consciousness or is it solely a product of thought?- Higher Intelligence is partially made up from the memory of learned facts and a good ability at integration and analysis of what is learned or can be learned.
