Thought and thinker are reality within the universe

Thought and thinker are reality within the universe. The thinker and the thought exist within the universe. The man and his experience of the universe is reality within the waking experience.  The waking experience is mere illusion on the ultimate standpoint.    Therefore, the individual experiences are part of the illusion. Thus thought and the thinker are part of the illusion. The self is ever that which is aware of the thought, thinker and world together without physical apparatus. The thoughts will not rise without the form whereas the self is formless.   Thus self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary to know what is what.

Positive and negative thoughts and the thinker are made of same material.  Whether one thinks rightly or wrongly he is thinking as person. The thoughts will not rise without the form.  Without the form there are neither thoughts nor the thinker.  Thus positive or negative thinking or right or wrong thinking are part of the physical existence and nothing to do with ultimate truth.    Experience is prior to thought. Only in waking or dream one gets thought. Therefore one has to mentally trace the source of the waking or dream experience in order to realize the waking experience is as unreal as dream.  When waking experience itself is than the waking entity and its thoughts are part and parcel of that illusion.   Self-Awareness arises only when wisdom dawns. Wisdom dawns only when waking entity realizes it itself is not the self.
