Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 That was a superb question. In fact, the question itself, being thoughtful gives birth to a whole new lot of thought on thought on the birth of thought. Thought itself I believe is not born of a free volition but is the question that is asked as we go through a karmic cycle of many lifes and deaths in order to experience all that a soul needs to discover in its journey, till one day, it merges back into the creator, just like a wayward sheep returns to its fold having temporarily enjoyed the benefit of freedom from the flock. Thought is the result of the spillover of karmic consciousness that is left behind as memory unretentive (is it?) that draws you back into the comfort of the experienced. Anything that is "created" or "discovered" is the result of a current epoch, an age that is currently prevailing as in Kal Youg, but this does not imply it was hitherto unknown or unexperienced or undiscovered. Since Bell "invented" the phone and technology mass produced it, and Marconi likewise with the wireless, we have seen both evlove from two distinct channels into one converged refination called cellular, but this does not imply it wasnt ther. Since two inventions inspired a third, what seeded them? It was thought alone that seeded thought. The complexity of your questions lies in a very simple yet thought provoking answer. As Humans, we have comlicated our life with logic, religion, science and comprehension. Are animals unworthy or lower, they do think and they do it more uninhibited than we can. They impart skills without schools, grace without the power to comprehend it and fulfil the same physical functions as a human could or would. We are said to be mentally superior, but I feel the animal closer to sprituality since it does not perform for reason, it merely in a basal, banal existence as a co-lifeform on this planet goes through life and death impassively without , cigarettes, alcohol, nuclear power or even pizza, coke and a knowledge of healthy lifestyle, etc., It doesn't need a Jane Fonda video to stay in shape but thinks intelligently when it comes to performing its functions. It doesn't need a doctor to advise a CAT scan because it follows one simple rule... if the pain doesn't go away, I will and I'm prepared. Food for Thought? Anyone?
