The Mind's Thoughts

Question: Do the thoughts and ideas that arise during our deeper states of meditation, as well as intuitions, still originate from the seventh consciousness?

Answer: Intuitions are perceptions arising from the seventh consciousness; thoughts that arise unconsciously belong to the seventh consciousness; thoughts emerging before conscious awareness are of the seventh consciousness; vague and indistinct thoughts belong to the seventh consciousness; persistent thoughts that one cannot let go of are of the seventh consciousness; and relatively subtle, profound thoughts originate from the seventh consciousness.
