Element - I think I understand what you mean, but in my context, does this mean the source is from an 'element'? If so, what (and where) is it?

Thoughts come from at least two sources:

(1) conditioned experience. for example, we ate ice-cream yesterday and, today, the thought arises of ice-cream

(2) in born tendencies (elements). here, an object of experience is not necessary. for example, we have tendencies towards sensuality, ill-will, becoming, doubt, etc. so these moods arise and thoughts come from these moods
