What is Original Thought? 

Can you really claim any thought as being truly your own? Original thought is possible, it happens, but only very rarely.

I have heard: the great physicist, Eddington, had said the deeper science goes into matter the more it becomes evident that things are thoughts. If this is true then the reverse is also true - thoughts are things.

You can throw your thoughts and hit somebody with them. People do that purposely to others, to affect and influence others. Its been called voodoo black magic when thoughts are sent to effect the person negatively. The opposite can be done also. Healing thoughts can be sent to others that are great distances away. There are people that make a good business out of supposedly doing such good works, sending their blessings to others – makes for a good guru business. One doesn’t even need a certificate or diploma in order to practice such things. This has also been called 'white' magic by Madame Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, Annie Bessant and the White Brotherhood. C. W. Leadbeater and the Theosophists have all been proponents of this.

Thoughts are things and things are thoughts. Perhaps, some of you can remember a man by the name of Uri Geller. He was a guy that was doing experiments on thought energy. Somebody would hold a spoon and Uri Geller would stand 10 feet away and only with thoughts of bending the spoon, it would happen. He went on the BBC television and performed the experient live. Not even Uri Geller could believe what was going to happen - in thousands of homes many things got bent and were affected by his thoughts. Thoughts are things, and can be very forceful things, indeed.

What to say of the general masses and the way they are constantly engaged in thoughts. It means that thoughts are being thrown around from everywhere by everyone. Not only thrown around but also received. Have you ever looked at your own mind? It is just a constant chatterbox, chitter-chattering away, and these thoughts are continuously flying in all directions, received from all directions. One is constantly broadcasting unnecesarily, everyone is broadcasting constantly, unconsciously and unnecessarily. And also receiving thoughts from others.

Just about everyone spends tremendous amounts of time in front of the tv set constantly bombarded by thoughts, suggestions and propaganda. And what happens when that tv is turned off? Do you think the propaganda has suddenly been stopped? The mind that received it now repeats it over and over and over again and again. The repetition easily becomes a habit, on and on and on it goes, deep into the night it continues, deep into your dreams it goes. With all the transmitting of thoughts… with all the receiving of thoughts that goes on and on.. Is it really any wonder why the world appears to be in such a mess… an absolute and utter madhouse.

The amount of thoughts that are being thrown around makes this planet quite a dangerous place to live in –with so many unaware people being bombarded and bombarding others. Just consider the computer games alone that children continually play – combat games, murder games, how many ways to destroy human flesh… and the children are broacasting these thoughts… hynotized by the continual repetition of playing these games.

The further back in history you go, the more and more peaceful the earth was. Now there are greater numbers of people that are living on this planet than ever before, and everyone broadcasting all kinds of thoughts. There are thick clouds of thought all over this planet. The whole world every day is becoming more and more miserable, perhaps it is because there are more and more people on the earth than ever before. And just about everyone of them is unconsciously throwing around their thoughts… broadcasting the repetitious crap just as it has been received by the the radio, tv, films and dvds, or whatever other transmitting sources.

One should be very careful of their thoughts. If people are not very conscious then they can create much misery for themselves and for others. Like a double-edged sword, so it seems, it is very likely that this is what is happening. That is why whatever goes on in this world everyone is responsible for. If there is a hell on earth, then everyone is responsible for it. Bush, Cheney & Rumsfeld, Obama, are not alone responsible for the Iraq war, for the war in Afghanistan, for the bombings that go on in Pakistan, Somalia, etc. Everyone else is also responsible as well.

The only person that is not responsible at all for the misery that goes on being perpetuated is the one that is capable of having a silent mind. Only a person that can put his mind aside will not be broacasting, will not be affected by the broadcasting of thoughts by others, will not be a receiver of thoughts of others. In silence, in awareness, ...an empty void cannot be a home to erroneous thoughts. Incoming thoughts will simply pass on by.

So what is an original thought, from where does original thought come?

 It has been said Einstein use to play on a violin when he was stuck on trying to solve a problem. He also played with soap bubbles while taking a bubble bath. While playing with bubbles or playing violin, the solutions to problems would be revealed. Madame Curie received answers to the problems she worked on while in deep sleep. Was not conscious when she wrote down in her note pad the answer she would mysteriously find in the morning when she awoke.

When reason fails, only intuition can work. Original thought arises when the mind is put aside. But then who is there to claim that such a thought is 'mine', or such thought is 'yours'? The ego would like to claim it, but intuition is not accessible when ego is present. Such original thought can only come from existence. Existence is the source. Existence is the only one that can claim all original thought. All other mundane thoughts are just bounced off of each other, echoing of noise tossed around to each other. No one can really claim these thoughts either. They belong to the past. They have been around for eons. They belong to the graveyards of this world.

Only a person of meditation is capable of allowing an original thought to pass through himself, like music being played on a hollow bamboo flute. One has to be empty of ego and thoughts before insights become available. And that original thought only comes when one is a silent empty vessel. It comes from the original source where all things come from. You can call it God, Existence, truth, or whatever you want. And those that receive that original thought know perfectly well that they can not claim it as their own. It cannot be claimed by the ego. Because the ego can not be present when it comes. It comes from the Source of all things - only when the ego is not.

But to say that the concept which arises out of the Source of all things - God, Truth, Beauty - is ‘your’ concept or 'my' concept cannot be true. It is a pretense at best to claim it as such.
