Most people are in many ways victims of their thinking. That is, they  hurt rather than helped by it. ….Ricard Paul and Linda Elder

I am learning that we are the products of our thoughts.  Our mind  creates material or chemistry in the human body. Theses actual brain chemicals  correlate to memory, intelligence.  One on the chemicals endorphin which is the body or brain natural pain killer. Endorphin is 3 times as powerful as morphine.  Endorphin is the brain’s painkiller, and it is 3 times more potent than morphine. Your mind also creates serotonin a chemical that is directly correlated to feelings, appetite, sleep, muscle contraction, and some cognitive functions including memory and learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Serotonin). Dopamine,  another chemical that is produced in the brain, is related to talking, excitement, the ability to experience pleasure and pain, movement, emotional response.  Science teaches  that all the chemical that are produced in the mind has a direct effect the affect our body process. So in fact we are products of our thoughts. So when the Bible teaches us in Probverbs 23:7 As a man thinks in his heart, so is he,  Scientifically, that is the truth. A   thought, scientifically can be consider matter. A thought both has mass and volume.  Mass  is the amount of material that makes up an object.    Volume  is that a thought takes up space.
