you are just a thought

[Nanoo Nanoo]

you think therefore you are.

All things are thoughts, so when you think you create.

Be careful, you might get what you are thinking.

"the earth is alive" with "you are just a thought", one thread following the other, I must admit this is confusing lol:confused:

Those that can live with paradoxes can reach the truth.

[GaelVictor]

Offcourse All is mind, the Universe is mental. There fore the highest power affecting it must be mental in nature. So if you, Mankind manage, by discipline and willpower, to balance your nature and center your consciousness to a singularity, you may create exactly what you wish. But it is dangerous, like letting children fly a Spaceshuttle into the sun.

The comedian Bill Hicks was an enlightened soul in my mind. He used to greet his audiences with "greetings my fellow vibrations in the mind of the one true god whose name is Love."

[silvervioletrubie]

Everything is a thought from the "All", including you and me. We think, therefore "thought" thinks. This core understanding outlines the immense power within yourself. The answer to our problems is and has always been within us. The challenge is to learn how to steer such an incredible ship as the one we call our "mind". "reality", as we like to call it, is just the dream that we are currently weaving and accepting, everything begins and eminates from within.

love is the answer, ALWAYS!

Thank you all who brave the unknown to contemplate ideas such as these!

The mentality of us defined by mindset.

Where is the being that originally gave birth to my soul? Am i just a thought in the mind of my creator?

Or did i create myself with a thought?

I prefer to say ''you think, therefore you ARE NOT"; because when we are thinking we are dwelling in unconscious illusion; when we manage to suspend thought we can get in touch with our true selves...

Let us for a moment consider thought. What is it, my friends, to take thought? Took you then thought today? What thoughts did you think today? What thoughts were part of the original thought today? In how many of your thoughts did the creation abide? Was love contained? And was service freely given? You are not part of a material universe. You are part of a thought. You are dancing in a ballroom in which there is no material. You are dancing thoughts. You move your body, your mind, and your spirit in somewhat eccentric patterns for you have not completely grasped the concept that you are part of the original thought.

Do we create ourselves?

Is that even possible?

From our limited, incarnate, intellectual vantage point, can we agree at least, that we know two main things:

First) that which is ourselves

Second) that which is not ourselves.

Is the perceived separation of the one from the other to do with the root cause of why we are?

Which is "real"?

Which is thought?

What is the relationship between the one, and the other?

How can this resolve to the paradox that there are not two things, there is only one thing?

Would thinking be concious dilusion and not thinking un concious dillusion?

To facilitate experience, i think to guide my self.

Once e get in touch with our true selves, what then?

I have seen my true self and i look lke a warewolf.

Woof!

I've long pondered on the nature of thought. For something that follows us around like a dirty smell we still can only guess as to its origin, purpose and use. One thing I am fairly sure of is that we are not our thoughts, but the one who experiences those thoughts. Many moons ago I had an awakening that led to the complete cessation of all non-willed internal dialogue yet I still existed. Fairly conclusive!

another important distinction to make is between real thought and the machinations of the mind. The former is using the mind in a willed manner in order to achieve a goal and the latter is just the internal chatter of our programming that acts like an annoying little monkey and leads us to do and say ridiculous things. It's only purpose seems to be to protect the illusion that we are a separate being in a body in mortal danger at all turns. It is a pet that needs taming.

I am therefore I think.

Just a thought :)

I am thinking thinking

[greybeard]

But what is it that creates the thoughts?
They arrive without being requested.
Try stopping them.
You dont have to converse with them of course.
You dont have to believe them or take them seriously--- do you?

By definition the creation of thoughts requires a creator; we are that creator, and part of the one infinite creator.

The difficulty is that we think in linear time and cannot conceive of a cause without an effect in sequence - but that is simply us being hamstrung by our current incarnate manifestation.

Sorry, with love but.....because I do NOT have an understanding of that which and why I 'think' and who or what is actually doing the 'thinking', I cannot confirm that I am.
Therefore to create that which is thought for me, I will not allow.
That which may be me, I will allow only the task of creating a smile for all whom, if of a substance beyond self, pass.
:confused:

[Youniverse]

Well in my view Descartes was definately innaccurate in his famous "I think therefore I am." I agree with Eckhart Tolle in that the "I am" IS whether it thinks or not. Who is the one that is aware of the thoughts? You are. Thoughts are within us, we are not a thought in itself, unless of course you're saying we are God's thoughts about Him/Her self. Then you might have a point.

The expansion of the universe is for the storage of thought, which in turn is reconstituted into energy.

Thought density is pure energy. How can one access this energy? Think :-)

Being in the mind of the one in the all we have access to the energy of the all and this is done with a thought sequence.

Grid meridians are important to facilitate this.

Hmmm, grid meridians. I've heard that these are now above the ground somewhere up in the atmosphere, instead of where they used to be on the ground.

[silvervioletrubie]

thank you for thinking thoughts.

Since the All of everything (perhaps this is God for some people) is all encompassing, there is nothing on the outside of God (or as I prefer to call it, the "All"). If there is nothing on the outside of the All, we must be part of the All. Everything must be internal, it must be within the "mind" of the All. We are fragments of All, like crystal pieces of a larger crystal, the same as the source. We are thoughts of the All, and so are our thoughts. A fractal of the source, of the All. As is below, as is above.

And when I pontificate that, I understand that the universe is experiencing itself, through me. How can it be otherwise?

IMHO, the source of all evil, the origin of all problems is the belief in a separate self. The belief leads to fear, which leads to the desire to control others in an attempt to protect the separate self. Some of the control-freaks out there are smart enough to know that we are all One, Infinite (beyond finite), Eternal (beyond time), unchanging, ever-fresh, non-conceptual awareness -- they just don't want to believe it, and they do not want us to see (with insight) the truth of it. Thus, all the distractions; divide and conquer, etc.

@Nanoo Nanoo "I" would say: The you you think you are "is just a thought," the you you really are is not a thought at all.

@Hatemachines The use of the word "mind" can be confusing. To the Hindu, the mind is simply a collection of thoughts. On the other hand, when the Buddhists refer to "Buddha mind," they are not referring to a collection of thoughts, but rather to the space-like awareness in which thoughts appear.

@Youniverse Quite right about Descartes famous saying: "I think, therefore I am." It is flat-out wrong. A little experiment: Pause thinking for a moment and see if you are still there?

@Anchor All we know is that we exist. Existence is the only absolute. Everything else is iffy, dream-like, illusion. Thoughts far more than appearances lead us to believe we are separate. It rings-true to me that the tantrums of the terrible-twos are caused by the onset of language and the false believe in a separate self that language brings. Animals do not have the sense of separation that we do.

FYI...

"It is in the nature of love to see no difference."

(A mother knows beyond thought and appearance, that she and her baby are one.)

It is the one infinite consciousness that sees and hears, not the body.

(The eyes and ears of a fresh corpse are in perfect condition to see and hear, but cannot see or hear, because the focus of consciousness in that body is gone.)
