Hey @roadsue!  What's up with the grammar here???  I don't like it :frantics: but sometimes you bring a little sanity to these terrible IB threads.

It’s a run on. I’d want at least a semi-colon between those clauses. A colon would be okay since the second is a sub-set of the first.

I kind of like it if you take the comma out and you have, "A man is but the product of his thoughts;  what he thinks he becomes."  :)

That would change the meaning of “he becomes”  from manifestation of what he thinks to the direct object of “thinks.” For the first clause to be true, man must manifest his thoughts. 
I’m just glad I’m woman and don’t have to mess with all this existential nonsense of thinking and becoming and whatnot.
