The mind can neither make nor destroy them!
The simple ideas are suggested and funuished to the mind with sensation and reflection. Once the simple idea is stored , it has the power to repeat, compare, and unite them to infinite variety and can also make new complem ideas. So Locke is saying that once the simple idea is stored in our mind, their is no way to invent or frame one new simple idea in the mind, nor any force of the understanding to destroy those that are there.

i Agree with Locke with that , but someitmes i wish we could just forget those ideas and go to the other ideas but the mind is tricky and complicated
Liz i think locke does mean that we can go to other idea but also fix the existing ones, but not errase it completely!
