Thoughts are like dreams, hopes and wishes. They are products/effects 
of reality/genes. The latter{genes} are tested to exist in organic 
forms of nature but do not exist in inorganic forms or minerals, atoms 
and subatomic particles. So how far removed are thoughts from reality?

Genes=brains=molecules=chemicals/minerals=electrochemical 
changes=feelings and thoughts. All those processes can be 
scientifically tested so is it safe to say that there is no separation 
between thoughts and reality?

When we see the outward manifestations of thought like in print or in 
speech as seen and heard the reader or the listener may or may not 
believe the substance/truth behind the printed word or the sound of 
speech but the fact of it being recorded becomes true as spoken or 
printed. On the other hand, there is a degree of difference between 
thoughts and acts arising from the observer/doer and the 
observed/thought.
