Can we conttrol our thoughts?

I guess it's pretty well established that our thoughts originate in our brain. So if we can control them where/what is the controller? And if we can't control them, then what?

"You need to learn to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control."

@badminton Dear "Elizabeth Gilbert": It seems you don't understand the question so you just responded as if it didn't exist.

What other organ or which separate part of my brain do you suppose is deliberately 'cultivating' the ability to control what the rest of my brain is thinking? (and why, and how?)
