Just hang out and talk about the good stuff and the stuff that bugs you and the stuff you are interested in.

So... why is it that sometimes we forget why we walked into a specific room?
Or how clever is it that if you forget your train of thought, looking at the same thing you were looking at when you were first thinking said lost thought makes you remember it again? Is it a save point or just a trigger or...
... are we meant to think certain things at certain times?

I don't know. Perhaps we are secretly guided by our intuitions?

what a perfect question!
...its because we have free will.
If everything were completely logical and one thought linked to the next like computer code does, then we would be automatons.
We would know the future perfectly and nothing would be a surprise. Free will is what gives people the ability to make errors, which is the cause of much suffering; however the advantage is that sometimes these errors allow innovation and the advent of surprise.
A perfectly determinist universe would be boring and therefore less than perfect. Its the imperfections in life that make it more than perfect.
Thus is mysticism.
