Thinking and philosophy are closely related. Just as philosophy tries to unify Spirit (God, religion) with matter (science, fact) -- thinking (mind) tries to unify Spirit with matter.
Human thinking (human mind) is a spiritual Gift from the infinite Mind of the Holy Spirit. We do not initially have this full Spirit-Mind capacity; so we are now here given seven different assistant (impersonal) mind spirits. Here are the seven adjutant mind spirits we have here and now. (in all normal humans over about age six years)
Highest to lowest: (higher animals have the lowest five)
1. wisdom (coordinates all the lower ones also)
2. worship (wisdom being higher, worship is optional)
3. counsel ( social cooperation, animal gregariousness)
4. knowledge (useful science, curiosity)
5. courage (fidelity, character, stamina, self-direction, etc)
6. understanding ( easy coordination of ideas, rapid judgment)
7. intuition (primitive quick reflex instincts, for survival; lower brain stem functions )
About 25 ? years ago, a 12year old girl was in a terrible accident, and then had one hemisphere fully removed (1/2 of her brain) The doctors thought she would never talk or walk. In some months to about two more years, she recovered normal speech and movements 80% to 90% !! This caused "radical" new concepts of where the mind is in relation to the brain and central nervous system ! Spirit-mind transmitting into the brain-nervous system, as acting as an antenna was conceived. Most scientists and doctors are afraid to make such a great leap all at once ... OK ...We slowly snail onward up an easy 3 degree slope... Slow progress is socially "safer". Too much Revelation Light could cause some local revolutions among some secularist humanists, atheists, anti-Theists for awhile, and then a bigger backlash to Philosophical World War One -- not ever won for thousands of years of maybe an intervening new dark age.
"I think, therefore I am" is foolish. All animals think, but they are not an "I am of I AM" and freely chooing to Be "I am in I AM" I am of I AM; therefore I am given more spirit-mind circuits to think than the animals have to think.
Some humans also choose to think that they are "Party animals", and then are forced to learn by rugged life experiences.
The bigger Question on earth: WHO is really thinking ? :))
or reflectively receiving ? "You know, you never know, you know." Duh ! "Duh !" LOL

Some might say that in order to maintain our existence we must think. Or in order to maintain our ego or self awareness we think. But if you want to know what I think:
Thinking is a bi-product of instinctive behavior that has had the time and evolution to become so complex as to snowball in a chain reaction. If instinctive responses to external stimuli were the equivalent of a single "logic-gate" in electronics, then the human brain is an enormous network of logic gates interconnected so densely that it is capable of creating its own input control signals. Assuming with complete sensory deprivation the brain could still "think" it seems to me that we are simply experiencing a continuous feedback loop from the moment we come into existence until the moment we die and nothing more. Our initial start-up programming could be part of our genetic coding but whatever sparks the first moment of a humans consciousness, it seems to immediately begin to mutate and evolve into the unfathomably complex network of triggers and responses we call the human mind. But that's just off the top of my head so I can't say for sure.

Some would say that thinking is a uniquely human quality, animals act through instinct (and no one has interviwed them in any event to find out if this is so). Regardless, "thinking" is a janus faced endowment; it has brought humanity to the loftiest heights, as well to the threshold of self-annihilation. This principle applies to every realm; personal, social, cultural, global.

Human thinking is born out of some sort of neurological defect in the human body. Therefore, anything that is born out of human thinking is destructive.
Thought is opposed fundamentally to the functioning of this living organism.
All insights, however extraordinary they may be, are worthless, because it is thought that has created what we call insight, and through that it is maintaining its continuity and status quo.
Thought is not the instrument to help us to live in harmony with the life around us. That is why you create all these ecological problems. But the planet is not in danger; we are in danger.
The certainty that I have that there is no mind is something which cannot be transmitted to anybody, however hard I may try. You are not ready to accept this statement because the very thing which we are using to communicate is in jeopardy.
Thought is something dead and can never touch anything living. It cannot capture life, contain it, and give expression to it. The moment it tries to touch life, it is destroyed by the living quality of life.

Need and Doubt. Provisionally we must limit our definition to a description in its self less than the total possibility for what thinking could be as an activity. Thinking is as a verb word form for the abstract noun 'thing', but the thing may not be as material objects, something defined in its own boundary or limits or its quantum. This thing may be a coherence for memory of becoming relations between of any people and things in their relations to self, 'I'. For the most part these relations are property relations,'property' as limited to the material objects and land as possessions and included 'property' as all other possibilities as property as things in them selves, e.g. a property of water is solidifaction at 32 F.. For more information on these relations see the following links: http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/sp/osabstra.htm#OS496
http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/pr/property.htm#PR54 We take possession of a thing [a] by directly grasping it physically, [b] by forming it, and [c] by merely marking it as ours.
