Thought manifestation

Although the paths are many, the Way is One.

The same way a tree will have separate branches, mankind too has separate thoughts. Every branch has a different perspective of the world around it. Although these perspectives may vary, they are all correct. A branch in the middle of the tree might not see the world so clearly as it is blinded by the other branches around it. Whereas a branch on the outside edge of the tree can see the world around it clearly as it is not obstructed by other branches. But if this branch on the outside edge of the tree is low to the ground it will only be able to take in so much of the world. However if this outside edge branch is toward the top of the tree, it will have a clear understanding of everything around it.

We too are as the branches of a tree. Having been raised in ignorance, we are often times blinded by the world around us (e.g. blinded by the other branches). Like the branch in the middle of the tree, we have a tendency to focus on the little things in life instead of trying to see the world around us. If the leaves of the tree were to focus on the other leaves, they would never know they are all part of the same tree, all part of the whole. If every leaf where to think of itself as independent of the tree and better than the other leaves, it would be cut off from its life source.

Likewise the tree is dependant of the Earth and the Earth is dependant on the Universal functions. The Universe is dependant on the Thinker that brought about its thought. All things are linked together and moving in a cyclic pattern. Ultimately the leaves are dependant on the Thinker, as are all trees. Everything manifest is a thought within the Thinker’s mind. The first step in awakening to the Ultimate Reality is intention, for anything you think; you can achieve. We have the ability to affect reality and reprogram the thought construct in which we live.

For example, before a building becomes manifest, it is only a thought in someone’s mind. The point in which a thought becomes reality, or becomes manifest, is when we make up our minds to achieve such a goal. Yes we are thoughts within the Thinker’s mind, but the Thinker has given us thoughts within “our” mind as well. When the Thinker thinks, the thoughts of the Thinker become manifest. We too are thinkers thinking thoughts, and “our” thoughts will become manifest when we purify our intention and reflect the Thinker’s mind. If we can think it we can achieve it.

We are thoughts the Thinker is thinking. Any thoughts?

Your topic made me think of a buddhist text about why there is no religion telling the absolute truth.

4 blind people sit at each end of an elephant and they are being asked to feel the elephant. Afterwards they have to describe what they think an elephant looks like. Well... you can guess the rest of the story. They came with 4 different descriptions of an elephant.
