Thought Manifestation and Nature
this thread deals with two topics, the power of human thought to manifest, and the current state of nature
there are already threads talking about the human thought manifesting in the physical realm. the movie and book The Secret talks about this subject matter nicely. if you aren't too familiar with thought manifestation, go find those threads first before coming here.
holding that this thought manifestation is true, what kind of impact can human thoughts have on nature? do our thoughts destroy nature more than our actions?
for example: there is a new belief going around (among the spiritual community) that we humans really are co-creators of earth. that we really do have dominion over the earth. and we have been co-creating on the earth since day one. once earth was a beautiful place with no suffering until the great fall - then after the great fall, earth transformed to match our thoughts. to match our consciousness
we thought of suffering, pain, death, lack, struggle, strife - and all of this manifested as physical things on earth in nature.
they go on to say, that nature is not the state that God created it in. God did not create the poisonous spider, the disease, or the systems in nature that see - that everything must essentially kill or eat something else.
Rather, our thoughts created all of these things in the very same fashion our thoughts create how our lives turn out. Since the poisonous spider was not created by God, nor created by positive thoughts, should we from an environmentalist stand point, save it from extinction?
We as human beings, can turn around and study nature. And we do so to learn truth. But of course in this vain, all we do instead is hold those thought manifestations as absolute reality. We keep nature the way it is just by believing it is meant to be this way and meant to stay this way. So again in this vain, with our thoughts keeping nature in the 'ice age', how can nature change and adapt to the times, if we don't believe nature can 'change'?
Here are the major thought patterns generated by humans (average joe) about nature, as of TODAY.
* Nature is just that, natural. What is natural is meant to be.
* Since diseases are found in nature, they are natural and meant to be.
* Since predator eats prey is found in nature, it is meant to be.
* Since suffering and death is found in nature, it is meant to be.
* Since humans create change not found in nature, humans create un-natural things. From our clothing, to our cooked food, to our houses, to our ancestral camp fires. All of these things are unnatural creations.
* Therefore in general, humans are not really apart of nature. There is nature, and there is humanity.
* Since nature is natural and we are unnatural, we pit against nature and therefore we can only destroy nature were ever we go.
* Humanity and nature can not co-exist. Because humans always change and nature must remain the way it is.
* nature should not be touched by humanity. We should live in our little bubbles, far away from it, because we are not natural.
your thoughts on our thoughts manifesting in nature??
Even if you aren't a big believer in thought manifestation, I at least hope you can see how our mentality has manifested a cultural phenomenon. Which, then, influences with how we interact with nature. We are denying our own reality if we think us and nature are two separate things.
What if we changed our thoughts about nature? What if instead we thought
* Nature can change, and must change. The past can't exist with the future. Life itself is change. The past will cease to be.
* Nature and humanity are not separate. Rather, humanity is the only one in nature that can make a conscious change within in it. It is our right as the most evolved being in nature.
* Nature 'left alone' acts out of instinct. Only humanity can create systems that act out of compassion.
* Nature provides for us, and we can provide for it. Humanity does not have to pit against nature. Or else we pit against ourselves.
* Humanity can create positive change for all of nature, as it does for humanity.
* Since humanity and nature are not separate, making positive change for one, makes positive change for the other.
* Without humanity, nature can not change for the better. but instead remain in a state of dog eats dog world. It will never be a compassionate organism
the overall change of mentality, is to see ourselves as one organism. we are the head of this organism. until we became, nature never had a head. it was just a mindless body. humanity completes nature. nature 'the body' isn't conscious enough to call itself beautiful, isn't conscious enough to care if it exists or not. only the 'mind' of nature, humanity, can do this.
so what do you think is the impact of our thoughts and nature?
