Who originally conceived these words and allowed them to be re-created for me, and printed here? Did these words produce the effect that slowed down my thinking, so forcing me to regress and measure the intelligence of my own thinking process? Did these words force me to expand my cognitive borders, thereby giving me the freedom and wisdom to accurately judge the validity of my physiological response to thought?

Who or what controlled the mind of the author when this message was written? What controlled my thoughts as I read these words? Was I really in control of my own thoughts, or did these words forever change the way I was forced to read, understand, and think about language and mind control?

Who or what is now controlling my thoughts here as my eyes see and read these Latin characters arranged in an order that I understand to be the English language? From whom did I first learn to understand and speak English? Was my mom the first person whom I developed a language relationship with? Did I learn to think and survive by listening to, and making a conscious connection between, my mother's spoken words and the actions that preceded or followed her words?

Was the origin of my thoughts based on the subconscious memory of my mother's spoken words? Were my own thoughts really my mother's thoughts? Who did I recognize as being the provider of my meals as an infant? What was the connection between food and my mother's speech? Was survival dependent on forcing me to be controlled to think, understand, and respond correctly, as dictated by my mother's spoken words? Was she my initial contact to this lonely and cold world after birth? So then, from whom did my mother learn to think and speak--her mother?

Did I not prove now, after reading these words that I was not in control of my own thoughts and behavior, and never have had the freedom to choose how to think or what to think about?
