One interesting realm of human philosophy is the notion that your thoughts are not your own, but rather coming from a collective consciousness or outside force in the Universe. These types of almost religions are entering the Western World in many ways such as the Jeti Religion or the spiritual movement.
Recently a participant in our Online Think Tank stated that one cannot stop the incoming thoughts feeding human minds from the Universe only suppress them, do nothing or observe the thought. Indeed this is in itself an interesting set of theories and there is some truth to impulse stemming from outside influences on the human mind. For instance FEAR or severe stress will initiate a fight or flight response or even cause one to think about the stimuli and potential actions to take; do nothing?
So is this actually a revelation or is it applying unknown quantities to known psychological responses to prove half a point and ask you to infer the rest? But if one does get a thought or impulse and chooses not to act on it, then in fact even if the thought was not one’s own they can control it by choice; same thing as denying the thought a place to grow. It is therefore exhibiting freewill.
Ever tempt fate? I have but as one wise singer says; “Fate Should Not Tempt Me” so there! Strength of Character, power and control of your own mind and in this potential case that the thoughts are coming from the Universe, then if that were true then you have the control over said system as well. So in this scenario, an entity (human), which can control their own thoughts or anothers, controls all or causes change to a large degree.
All thoughts should be observed whether or not they are acted upon. You can learn from thoughts, regardless of how you come about them; that is to say thru intuition, observation, experience, learning or in this potential scenario from the Universe itself. I hope this article helps propel thought in 2007
