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

Ahh, I see, so those in born tendencies can also be a result of past experience (memories), along with our own conditioning.

Would you say that karma affects these elements as well?
