Thought creates things by slicing up reality into small bits that it can easily grasp. Thus when you are think-ing you are thing-ing.

Thus to the extent we actually imagine a world of discrete and separate things, conceptions have become perceptions, and we have in this manner populated our universe with nothing but ghosts.
