Thoughts of the Manas

Question: Are the thoughts, ideas, and intuitions that arise when our meditative concentration (samādhi) is relatively deep still coming from the seventh consciousness (manas)?

Answer: Intuition is a feeling of the seventh consciousness (manas); thoughts that arise without one being aware of them belong to the seventh consciousness; thoughts that occur before the mind consciousness becomes aware of them belong to the seventh consciousness; thoughts that cannot be clearly articulated belong to the seventh consciousness; thoughts that one cannot let go of and cannot shake off belong to the seventh consciousness; and relatively deep and subtle thoughts belong to the seventh consciousness.
