R/S, SB or IS - Take your pick. |

what if the brain is like a advanced radio, tuning in to a field of potential thought? |

R/S, SB or IS - Take your pick. |

I have been hearing this idea more and more recently. If this was true, then our brains may be an antenna tuned to a particular "frequency", or they may be somehow attached to a kind of universal consciousness. In fact they may go so far as to BE a part of the universe. I now refer once again to my favorite painting: |

---o--- my DCs say I'm dreamy.
how is this SB or R/S worthy? no religion involved here. or spirituality. |

It's not philosophy though. |

It actually might be somewhat correct. In a field of parapsychology there are theories going on that human brain can pick up "thought" or such from some kind of network. Telepathy is maybe the most studied field of parapsychology and there are increasing amount of scientist agreeing the possibility that there is some kind of universal network, which we all pick things time to time. Some say it is more of our primitive side that has waned over time. Even if it exist, I doubt it would be that radical that all our thoughts are not our own. I would think it is rather more like bits and pieces you can collect, which could manifest as strange sensations and gut feelings or as empathy. |

Jujutsu is the gentle art. It's the art where a small man is going to prove to you, no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get, that you're going to have to accept defeat. That's what jujutsu is.
Proof? |

Firstly, he stated quite a few things as facts. Secondly, even if he didn't, if you don't give at least some vague outline of why you came to think what you think, there isn't much point in telling people about it, in my opinion. |

A vague answer for very inaccurate question. I am sorry if it felt like I was claiming something. I just rarely feel like posting wall of text when question is that simple, since I am not even debating over anything. While my post might be, as Xei says, pretty pointless, I felt like joining the thread with an quick remark how I feel about the subject. I can gladly clarify myself further and discuss it in length after there is something to be discussed over. The OP didn't give much to go on with. Also, I must admit that my memory isn't that good so I could always remember straight which book or source I read this and that. So I must sacrifice some time, if I need to. |

I didn't really mean to say that your post was pointless, sorry. What I should have said is making such a post and then disappearing or not answering questions is pointless. There has just been this bizarre antiphilosophical sentiment from a few people in this forum recently where asking questions is apparently not desirable. |

I used to believe this wholeheartedly, still do to some degree. |

You are on the right track. Keep going. |

Our thoughts are not our own. Yet they are your own. Where do they come from? They come from what we see and experience. Perhaps we also take in other peoples thoughts. Perhaps we often share thoughts without even realizing it. If that was so, then maybe what we think isn't often our own. Maybe some feelings we get are not our own but others peoples feelings. where does a thought originate? do we truly create our own thoughts? maybe we don't. does it matter? what difference would it make? If thoughts may be placed in our minds. Perhaps other beings have the ability to control our minds. perhaps thats already happening. maybe you are being mind controlled on regular basis without even knowing. How would you know? How do you stop that? What thoughts are your own and what thoughts came from foreign sources? Its almost impossible to know. there is just way to much stuff going through your mind. Way to much being processed on a regular basis. But maybe you do have the potential to know what thoughts come from where? How would you go about that? You have to recognize the source of whats going through your mind. you must trace everything to its source to know. And cut yourself off to anything you don't want to be open too. Only you allow these connection of thoughts to be open in the first place. You simply have to choose which doors you want to shut. Where do your thoughts come from though? your own thoughts. How can you know things that there is know way you could have known. where does that come from? How can you see the future and then it happens? It comes from somewhere. This source is the source. The source of sources. The source of sources knows all. It is infinite intelligence. Tap into the source and you will know anything you would ever need to know. And the source will heal your soul. Always there just waiting for you to open the door. |

I would be open to the probability that thoughts are a compilation of everything that has been mentioned. Thoughts are heavily influenced by experiences that are linked or branded with an emotional attachment, or anchor to them. Those emotionally branded experiences are then enhanced, diminished, shaped, or changed completely by things like media, social environment, physiological circumstances and environment, self-aware perception of all of the aforementioned, and lastly, simple proximity with other human beings capable of consciously directed thought. |

If anyone is interested, there is a good book called the Intention Experiment that talks about different scientific adventures into the human mind. That book will talk about experiments showing positive results. It'll also talk about the difficulty of setting up such experiments, and also the difficulties of analyzing the results. |

They are artificial elementals, made more powerful by the number of people who identify with them and empower them with their consciousness. Originally, they are an unconscious idea created by anyone, but weak. They become conscious when they receive more power from more minds, or by somebody who has more insight becomes conscious of them and their affect on our experiences. |

Yes! Jung called them archetypes, and they have existed in an evolving form for as long as humanity has, and before that many of them (most likely) existed in other forms in the minds of other creatures. Some are coded in the structures of life itself, and very deeply they have formations set into the fabric of reality. They are patterns of information that span multiple physical and non-physical systems that grow through thought transfer. They (and we) are both the signal and the transmitters. Memes, ideas, 'common sense', human beings, mythologies, archetypes, avatars, gods, etc. These are all just gradations of the same thing. |

I do believe that people near each other, even if they're consciously unaware of each others' presence, can synchronize to some extent. Is it telepathy? Or something equally supernatural? Or could it just be that communication is actually far more subtle and complex than we realize? |
