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.
