Where do our thoughts originate?

[Spikeycloud]

I have heard it taught from several sources that our thoughts do not originate from our minds, so we should not identify with them or take them personally. Initially, learning this came as a relief, as sometimes I berate myself for the types of thoughts that pop into my head. Upon processing this idea some more, however, it does not make sense to me. If our thoughts don't come from our mind, then where exactly could they come from? Thanks in advance.

I suspect they come from our beliefs

And where do our beliefs come from?
It's all thinking. And it's our nature rather than our choosing.

Probably from your, parents, culture, school, media other people etc. I believe (and that is a belief as well) is that we are all born perfect as we are and that we eventually get a lot of bullshit beliefs that don't serve us well.
