The faculty of thought deals with judgments and assents, and impulse
to action and disinclinations, and escapes from action: and more
especially with thoughts connected with what is thinkable, and the
virtues and the different branches of learning, and the theories of the
arts and matters of counsel and choice. Further, it is this faculty
which prophesies the future to us in dreams, and this is what the
Pythagoreans, adopting the Hebrew view, hold to be the one true form
of prophecy. The organ of thought then is the mid-ventricle of the
brain, and the vital spirit it contains.
