Subject: [K-list] The Thought, The Thinker and the act of Thinking
From: Christopher Wynter
On 2002/03/21 15:39, Christopher Wynter posted thus to the K-list:
The subject of thought, what it is, what thoughts are, the form
they take and how they arise is quite a complex one.
I have followed the discussion on this list with some interest -
and now - if you will pardon the length and complexity of the
content of this post, here are some words on "thought".
Awareness could be described as the translation of energies into
some recognisable form. This applies to hearing, taste, smell,
feel, vision. This applies to our normal senses as well as the
"subtle senses" which operate through every cell of the body -
even when we are not aware of it.
The "right" brain is continually processing these sensory signals
and sending messages to the rest of the body organs so that the
body continues the function of living. Most of the time, most of us
are not "aware", consciously, of this process
especially as this process moves through the body within
10 milliseconds of the receptor receiving the stimulus.
(a millisecond is one thousandth of a second)
and, more than one process is going on simultaneously
(parallel or lateral processing)
In order to become "aware" in terms of expressing into the
conscious thinking process, some of these "awarenesses" are
translated into words, pictures, smell, taste, feelings.
Over a period of our time, we have been taught the "names" - or
words - for these senses and for some of our awarenesses.
Translating the energetic information into sensory symbology which
we can understand through out "thinking" process is primarily a
function of the left (linear serial) brain.
However, to do this, there is a requirement for a "memory" or data
bank to which the left brain "refers" the input in order to find
the corresponding "understandable translation".
this process takes the left brain approximately 500 milliseconds
and is a linear process - or sequence of events..
Its a bit like the monitor on which you are reading this - a data
stream is referred to a "comparative memory" and when the "bits
fit", a switch turns on to trigger another process which translates
into different coloured dots on the screen, arranged in a specific
pattern - according to the data code.
Now .. a bit of background ..
In all of the processes so far described, energy is released from
the body in the form of "radiation" which some people can see as an
"aura" For example, all of our emotions (an emotion is energy in
motion) have their own particular "set of frequencies" which
correspond to other radiations which can be detected by the other
senses.
for example - every colour has a corresponding sound, smell, taste.
Thus - every is a combination of sounds which we hear, but which
has correspondences in taste, smell, colour ..
Some of these correspondences we are aware of, others we are not.
Our reaction to any one of these sensory inputs depends on what we
have been conditioned, programmed or have learned.
This reaction then acts as a "feed back loop" and either cancels
out the sensory impression (everything is OK) or creates some sort
of motor response to do something about it.
Again - most of this is happening without us being aware - these
are the "reflexes".
The Thinking Process
We can be consciously aware of all that is gong on - and when we
have removed sufficient of our conditioning, we can be aware in
words and with understanding of what is going on.
This is the difference between "seeing" and "looking" - where
"seeing" is an all embracing state of awareness which does not
become attached to any one particular stimulus.(parallel process)
"looking" is a focus on one objective with singular process with
a conditioned or preconceived idea (linear or serial process).
So we have the person who "Is - and thereby, thoughts arise" - and
in this process, because there is no "attachment" to the thought,
the process continues as a flow.
HOWEVER.
When a person has this "awareness" and brings it to consciousness
and then becomes attached to it (which happens approximately 750
milliseconds after the sensory input) then the "creation" process
starts - and the first thing that happens is that there is an
imprint of both the sensory input and the "decision" or
interpretation placed back in the "data bank" - the cells of the
body.
This creation is then radiated out. If it is silent thought, then
the energy is the "ultra" and "infra" wavelengths of the audible
words - but a "sensitive person" can hear, smell, feel, and taste
these thoughts - or "thought-forms".
Of course, before we knew the words, this is how we functioned as a
child - until we were taught the words -
These thoughts have energy, form, mass and density. When emotion
and sound is added, the impact is even stronger.
( We learned as children by association. We even learned to
associate certain energies with the word "Love" - based on what our
senses were picking up from the people who spoke the word.)
Some people think in terms of pictures or smells and the same thing
applies here.
The Source of our Thought.
What we translate into words and pictures is done according to our
learned and conditioned behaviour. Our understanding is based on
imprinting.
However, we limit what we are capable of bringing to conscious
awareness through what is a proper thing to say/think/feel. Once
the barriers to our understanding are removed, there is a whole new
world of conscious awareness that opens up to us.
Its a bit like looking at a forest - mostly we only see a forest -
but on closer inspection (allowing) we see the trees. Perhaps we
even see the grasses and the flowers - then the birds and the bees
- and maybe even, we start to see some of the energy interplays
that form the eco-system of the forest - including what goes on in
the interaction between the darkness of the earth and the
light/dark interplay of the sky.
Just because we can't see/hear/feel/smell/taste something does not
mean it cannot/does not exist.
The thoughts that everybody has thought all exist.
They exist as thought-forms in different parts of the spectrum of
consciousness; and they aggregate together into matrixes and masses
according to the various laws of the part of the spectrum they are
operating in ..
(they are a bit like the radio waves from every radio and
television transmitter - they are moving through your house and
your body without you being conscious of them - unless you turn on
your radio receiver. Then what you hear depends on the sensitivity
and selectivity of the receiver)
We sense thought-forms according to how we have been "tuned"
then we react/respond to them according to past experience, learned
behaviour and conditioning.
The thing to remember here is ..
the moment we become consciously aware of some words or a picture
then energy which started the whole process is long gone -
and every time we go over some past event in our mind, we are,
through our thinking process, re-creating it - in our own bodies -
and in the energy that surrounds us and everything.
and so, if enough people fear something,
then mass hysteria will be generated by thought ..
Some are conscious of their creation - others are not.
The question arises -
did you sense the thought - or did the thought have you.
There is NO original thought. All that exists is the processing of
energy through the filters of preconceived (past) beliefs - and
there are infinite permutations and combinations of created
outcomes.
I hope this helps the person who asked the original question ..
If not, you are welcome to write to me for clarification ..
