What is an idea,a thought,what in contained within its arising?well that would depend on the amount of focussed intent that was attending that idea,if that
focussed intent was unlimited,absolute,and all Powerful,then within its ideation
would be all of creation,and of course than thought is still in thr process of outworking itself,and the idea will outrun its process in a few billion years from
now,then all motion will cease,there will be a temporary pause,and then the thought will return to obscuration and objectivity will no longer be in evidence.
There is a membrane that pervades all of objectivity which acts as the medium
and carrier for all thoughts and of course things,within this membrane we live and move and have our being,this membrane is for want of a better thing to call it.liquid consciousness,that runs like an invisible river throughout objective space
some also call it the soul,that thing that acts as a mediator between that which is unknowable,and that which is becoming known,it provides a link and an anchor to keep us from drifting off?we are alllinked together by a rather grand Idea.

an idea originates from desire;desire has its origin from emotional pulses(vasanavas-tendencies).all a creative writer or an artist does is to decode their emotions with pen or brush---spontaneously(as they call!) with hardly any visible/conscious effort on their part. everything is embedded in us, the Grand-Design& the Designer,only we are not conscious.Its 'awareness' is divine-consciousness(supra-consciousness, as they say) look deep& 'see' that is the mantra.love.little-self.

Thanks, for the thoughts,little-self.Ideas are powerful thingswhen properly
focussed with ardent intent.

Little does man realise the power of intent,in particular foccused intention!
Science is beginning to understand and realise that the universe is wholly
the product of focussed intentful ideation!Basically and factually the universe
is an IDEA in the mind of the Absolute?
Whenwe pay more attention to the power of mindful focussing,then we will be a little farther along the road of understanding "how it is",and not how we think it is!

kind regards michael.

absolutely Michael! Rupert Sheldrake (whom nobody here seems to have heard of) lectured last Thursday and mentioned his experiement where he found that dogs positioned themselves to greet their owners as soon as the owner manifested an intention to go home. Of course, this experiement was done with different times that the owner was told to go home, using different routes and with different owner/pet combinations. Truly, we have not given nearly enough credit to intention...

Absolutely spot on there Harmony,Once the intention is firmly focussed
in particular with animals,such as dogs,they indeed do know?Long before we do,I have seen ample evidence of thisin my own experiences with dogs and
cats too!
