The nature of thought in relationship to reality
What is real?
I don’t mean what you perceive, but really real.
Nothing is real, and permanent.
Reality is a snapshot of all the combinations of possibilities.
We think (most of us) in terms of language.
What you are actually experiencing may be a lot different than what you think.
Why? Because others are thinking too. And what they think is also a snapshot.
In America you are considered crazy if you believe something no one else does.
The truth is reality is a mix of everyone’s snapshots.
If ten people think a man should be hung
It will take 100 people to think that he should be let free
The more powerful a person, the more we experience their snapshot
The more powerful a group the more we experience their snapshots.
By putting the mind at ease by sitting down and closing the eyes, the mind becomes silent.
In this silence we see more clearly the infinite possibility’s of nature.
It becomes more clear, our own nature and path in life.
If you let other people, books, tv, parents tell you what to think you may lose sight of yourself.
One might say, mother and father are only trying to save you time and trouble.
Well they experience life different than you, and for them something important and true may be irrelevant to your life and experience. Just because they had such and such experiences doesn’t mean you will. Even though usually they are right.
If you experience life by going deep within you will experience far more life than by taking snapshots and comparing them with others.
Our camera is just one in a massive ocean. Tap into the full ocean of possibilities by closing the eyes and sitting silently for 20 minutes a day. Twice per day.
If you can sit for one hour even better.
Most people cannot sit with them self for even 5 minutes. Not because you hate yourself, but because not everything you have been lead to believe is true.
When the mind is left to rest without any thought out to survival, or rent, or how to get food it begins to perform more like a telescope rather than a camera.
Allowing you to see much farther and with more clearly than before. The average mind filters a lot of information. You only see what you believe is possible. Quieting the mind allows you to see much deeper than what is on the surface level of experience.
Don’t live life through someone else’s scope of reality. Dream for the stars.
If someone tells you to see something the way they do, they are not letting you experience your own life.
Everyone is supposed to experience life differently than everyone else. And we are supposed to accept it.
If too many people start to see the world the same way. They fight with other big groups. Look at what happen between the Nazis and Jews.
For humanity to thrive, and be with less tension, we must accept others views. And they must accept ours. If we think reality is only supposed to be one way. Then we force everyone else to conform destroying diversity. Everyone knows diversity is required for a thriving ecosystem.
If everyone believed everyone else. We would all accept that anything is possible thus sharing in a universal truth. Being uniform while being diverse.
The truth is everything is changing all the time. On the surface level of our mind we can only pick up so much of what is actually happening. We must go deep within to experience life fully.
You dropped quite a number of gems in there.
Thanks lol, somehow it doesn’t feel enough…
Feelings can be deceptive.
A very popular saying: "Each head is a world" -there are many factors that influence-. Being yourself implies studying ourselves,
and go perfecting looking for the place that corresponds to us within this great universal design. Thank you for such excellent reflections. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing.
We should gain our own experience, not to listen it from others.
We should not take experience from others but we should take this from our parents, because they always want our success.
It's normal for different people to have different opinions. Because everyone has a different point of view, so we see the same thing differently.
Sound likes a philosophy. Almost all in your post you shiw some extra ordinay sunject. Anyone who follow you, can learn a lot.
Thank you,
Every person has different thoughts and attitudes. It is normal for him to think like him from his place. I think it is better to use one's experience in any subject.
Using past experiences to judge the future or the present. Is like being in thought while you are experiencing something. You become more concerned with the way things were rather than the way things are now.
Yes you are absolutely right.thank you.
When we think something deeply we can find something new and different.
Thinking deeply implies having thoughts about thoughts.
Such a practice leads to nothing but more thinking. When you quiet the mind you go into action with much more clarity.
I'm agree with you.
Good topic friend, I think that reality is individual, what we each persist, what we think about the real, and the real, is what does not have to be proven, in this case nature, the universe and its laws that govern them; and on which we can meditate.
Experience in life is important than comparing with others.
