Thought control

We as a human society is guided by ideas. We call these ideas in different names - norms, values, principles, rules and a lot more based on how the idea is made to influence our lives both voluntarily and involuntarily. It is fascinating to think how it is the shared consciousness of ideas that makes human beings so powerful. A whole physical reality exists even outside of our consciousness for millions of years even before the arrival of the human species. our bodies are just another object of matter that exists in this physical reality, but even to realise that we need to have that idea in our consciousness. Even though all of us exists in the same physical world, all of us don't experience the same world. our worldview is shaped by the ideas in our consciousness and the capacity of our senses. And the ideas in each and every person's consciousness varies, so does the capabilities of the senses. We exists in two worlds simultaneously - a physical world and a cognitive world. While the physical world is same for everyone at every point in time, the cognitive world is vastly different. The cognitive world is shaped by the ideas that resides in someone's head. A thought is never just a thought. Even though it's just a fragment of imagination (shared or unshared with other human beings), they guide our behaviors in the physical world. And when things happen in the physical world, they change the physical world for everyone. However, this raises another serious question - since even the thought has some physicality by the nature that they exists in some material form in our head, in that case isn't thought also part of the physical world? I will explore this question some other time. For now, I will work with the assumption that thought is a fragment of imagination that doesn't have any physicality.
When it comes to the cognitive world, none of us live in the same cognitive words many of us share similar understandings of the world and hold similar ideas That allows us to have a common ground and enable us to see the physical reality in a similar way to some extent. For example, many people hold the idea that Sun raises in the East. While sun exists East doesn't exist in the physical world, we all do perceive that Sun always raises in the same direction that we have labeled as East. The interplay between the cognitive and the physical world has very serious repercussions. My perception of beauty that exists in my head determines which women I pursue in the physical world. My idea of style determines the clothes that I wear. My ideas around climate change determines whether I choose to compost or how much I order from Amazon. All our actions have real world implications and every action is guided by a thought.
One of the main goals of Buddhism is to help one recognise the delusional nature of the thought.
While I agree that it's delusional most of the time, thought is all we have and we share. We cannot change anything unless we change the thought in us and also in others.

We develop the ideas in our consciousness and our imagination in two many ways - through socialization and through first hand experiences. Many of our earlier beliefs come from the sociazilation even though we might not have had the first hand experience.

Why it's important to think?

Is it really thought control though? Who is controlling who's thought? No one is controlling no One's thought. But we are controlling each other's thought or atleast trying to? D ~But does people redly suceed? in controlling others thought. I think some people do and it is those people where ultimately successfully. Some do it benevolently. some do it strategically. Does everyone think the same. Isn't it fascinating how our mind expands? Even ifoot expand atleast we are seeing a completely different reality. How we temporally and Spatially make Sense across time planes. Coming back to the point, it is mainly our mind that shapes our perception of the world. Isn't it the same for everyone. How atleast able of share the ultimate conscious as together without beei being in a same physical space. Every mind should expand. See the reality and the beautiful complexity of the world. Stream of consciousness. Vanderstanding Perspective and Perception seeing different sides of reality Critical writing:) Expand the world. Make a difference Thy love connect with yourself.
Internet as the medium to Share the consciousness . It's happening for the first time through the entirety of humanity where we are sharing ideas in our consciousness without being in the same physical spaces. Books in a way fascilated that. however, the velocity of idea transfer through books is slow - not just because of the physical nature of the book but reading is also slow. It is a deliberated act where the ideas are challenged internally through dialogue.
