Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 The Nature of Thought First, what is the nature of consciousness? How to imagine its raw, unprocessed, unrefined, unstructured, flows? What is our place in it? Try to imagine a vast indifferent ocean, which have place for any kind of waves, like those of cell phones, radio, TV and so on…, and so on…, and so on… Still, they are just the tiny, insignificant, infinitesimal ... spectrum of artificially ordered waves, in the much more vast, free and wondering ocean. Then... Who we are? - The accurately entangled bodily manifestations of the structured thoughts, which temporary coexist in the organized chaos of our suptures. Yet, what is the nature of our perception? what is the nature of each thought? What makes it miraculously organized or spontaneously free? Does it mean that if we learn how to liberate (and restructure) the flaws of structured thoughts on the base of their appearance (and, if necessary, from the SPACE and TIME) we could disperse and recreate any matter and master the SPACE and TIME by themselves (or with the help of some equipment)? Love to all, Leo P.S. Friends, please, when you quote my messages, clearly separate them from the fallowing comments, not to distort the original meaning.

I believe thoughts are a view of structures in the ocean of existence. Just like an apple is a structure, so is a thought. This means that thoughts are not the source for things to happen, just as an apple is not its own creator. There is often a correlation between thoughts and other things that happen, but that does not mean that thoughts made those other things happen. When I type something on the computer keyboard, I think about what to write, but the thinking and the actions performed can be seen as one unified process. Then I can look back at what I have written, and maybe change some of the text, but even that can be seen as a part of that one process. Then I go away from the computer to make some tea. Even that can be seen as a part of the same process. In this way we can see one's whole life as one unified process not separate from the overall process of the universe. In this unified process awareness can be focused on separate thoughts, for example. This makes thoughts appear as separate entities, separate waves in the ocean. We can even find cause-and-effect chains. But when we look at the whole process of life as a single movement, then a particular truly separate cause cannot be found. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
