Thoughts are, once created, very real, and, very permanent. And, just because we can not see most energy, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Rupert Sheldrake has done some very meaningful research on the energy fields that us, and all life, live in and with. In some of this research, people can tell they are being looked at even through closed circuit TV. Everyone has had the feeling they are being looked at at least once in their lives, while being somewhere and having someone look at you from behind. This is because with better cameras that can see magnetic and energy fields, we all have big energy fields around us that go way outside our brains and bodies.
So then, when I look at something, or someone from behind, I actually am touching them. Just because we can not see the energy that emanates from us, does not mean it doesn't exist. When I look at the lamp on the other side of the room from me here, I am not creating an image of light through my eyes and then looking at it inside my head, I am actually touching the lamp where it is, over there, with my mind. The energy fields that emanate from my mind see it where it is and touch it there. There is no transfer of an image into the small confines of my head, vision all happens outside my head, where it exists.
If you've ever gone hunting, you'll know what this means. Deer don't have to smell you to run from you, you just have to look at them.
This is why the method of hunting in packs, where 1 or 2 others lie in wait, while several more move through a piece of forest to chase anything towards the 1 or 2 who lie in wait is used, because more often than not while hunting, all you need do is see them, and they flee.
The invisible energy stream.
Also inside this energy stream, there still exists every thought ever formed. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed: only moved, and, re-organized. Energy really is the basis of everything, and even our most powerful electron microscopes are showing us that individual atoms are not made up of tangible matter of any kind, they are made of energy doing a persistent "dance" unique to each element in the periodic table of the elements.
It's all energy.
Everything.
All that happens in the dreamscape is an integral part of this too. It is the beginning, and, a place we all still need to return to daily. Still, after all these trillions of years since "matter" first appeared, we still need to return to the energy stream in its' unadulterated form: the dreamscape, where, anything and everything can happen, where there is a cast of thousands and every person we've ever met shows up at least once and people we've never ever met appear as well, every.single.day.
Back to thoughts: there are times when you can walk down a street, and then just be overwhelmed with grief, or love, or some other emotion. Perhaps there was an accident there years ago, or a marriage proposal, or a big street fight in a drunken brawl between two rival bistro's? Many people have explained that once arriving at Hiroshima for the first time they were just overcome with tragedy and fell down to their knees crying uncontrollably. The space between 2 atoms is as relatively vast as the space between 2 planets, and the storage space for anything is ultimately: infinite.
Some thoughts are very simple in nature. "I don't like vegetarians" for example, is a very two dimensional and simple thought. All of the knowledge required to build an acoustic guitar from wood and hardware is a much more complicated thought, and requires disciplines in many fields, from wood properties to metal properties to tension and sound vibration. The complete thought pattern required to enable one to build guitars from scratch is a very complicated one, with many tangents and short lines into other areas all required to complete this task.
The thought required for me to scratch my head is very simple and guided. The one for me to remove a submersed well pump and change the motor on it, is a little more involved. In both cases though, they were already existing thoughts that I had become familiar with, regardless of the time involved to become familiar with them.
You could almost say that each and every thought is its' own individual. A unique to itself entity. Some simple and straight forward, and some very 3 dimensional and rife with tangents and short parts all connected to the whole, requiring varying amounts of time with to completely understand the entire picture of it, almost like individual snowflakes. My belief is that once created, any individual thought never goes away. Thoughts can even lie dormant for centuries, where much time goes between anyone using that thought, but it never fully goes away, and can resurge into the active energy stream again almost at any time. The time one spends dwelling on it, and with it.
Contemplation.
And in the realm of individual thoughts, there can be crowd use, or quiet isolation, or anything in between. In either the political arena or the sports stadium, there can be many thousands of people all dancing with the same thought pattern at the same time. "go blue!" or "go red!".
Unlike snowflakes though, thoughts are energy, and, one can dance with them, or dance without them. One can dance through them or dance around them. One can observe them from a distance or get right inside them and examine every minute detail of them.
But they are just thoughts.
You are the teacher in all of this, and you are NOT the snowflake, you are merely its' dance partner. Making a thought your own is a willful act, but an act none the less. More power is given to a thought when many people all dance with it at the same time, and there is comfort in collectivity, but as the teacher you will and should always remain separate from it.
