Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Just came across an odd statement: "Thoughts are spirits" ... anybody have any thoughts about this? kek
Thoughts are things. We dwell on negative. We need to not fear and focus on all that is good, as Bible says.
Lot of scientists (esp. the ones in the end of 19th century / early 20th century) have said that they got their ideas suddenly, as if it was placed in their minds. Many had indulged in various meditation techniques, and visited gurus in India etc.
Nikola tesla had also said that he would get blueprints of the inventions he was working on, whole, into his mind in one go.
It can be easily argued that these are examples of thoughts that originate from elsewhere - whether you want to call it higher density, or spiritual realm, or universal consciousness - does not matter.
Generalizing this, I can see why some people believe that every thought is originating in these spiritual realm and we are just vessels for those thoughts.
