The Sabbath School lesson wonders about the mysterious is the nature of consciousness. It asks, "How does the few pounds of material tissue (cells and chemicals) in our heads, the brain, hold and create immaterial things, such as thoughts and emotions?"

So what about thoughts? Are they immaterial? We may be inclined to think so, because a thought is not a concrete object.

The word "thought" is not describing an object, but is describing a process of the physical brain. It isn't like a thought is literally floating around in the air or anything.

In this study we take a look at the official position of the SDA church back in 1882 as published by the Review and Herald Publishing House in the pamphlet, "Matter and Spirit," by D. M. Canright, on the nature of thought.
