So when you write down your thoughts two scenarios are possible:
Either your thoughts took shape in your mind after mixing all you have been reading, listening and watching
Or you are sitting silently and contemplating and an insight comes like a lightning strike and you try to catch a glimpse of it by writing it down.
I wrote about something related in a previous edition listed below:
You can be good at first scenario if you have a sharp and witty mind.
And if you take care of your emotional and mental health.
And if you have a good content diet.
But to be good at the second scenario you need to have a pure soul which can not be cultivated by doing any of the worldly acitivities or habits or taking psychoactive substances.
I mean every soul is pure but it is clouded by many dirty and filthy layers (due to conditioning).
You can not peel off the layers by doing these worldly activities.
You can peel off the layers if you question everything.
If you enquire.
If you talk to yourself.
If you are mindful of things happening within and without.
This is what came to my mind, out of nowhere, while returning home from the parking lot:
Now I swear what arrived from beyond, through my mind, is not something that I had read or heard somewhere. At least I am not aware of that happening consciously.
This makes me think of copyrights and trademark and all the rest of it.
How can we lay claim to some thoughts or creative ideas or compositions written or composed through us? Because it certainly is not created by us.
Fellow Explorers, what do you think of it?
Do you really think that the creative thoughts and insights you get originate in your brain?
I don’t know what science or research says but let’s discuss in the comments below!
Very Beautiful thought process and writing. Your posts have been 'healthiest food' for my thoughts ! I am in a similar journey as yours and completely understand the essence of your question :) . I have experienced such 'magic ' moments when a profound thought about life in general appears and if not transferred to my journal fades away ! I think such moments appear when I am closely connected with myself , you know on some days we are very introspective . Contemplating on your question, it could be a combination of focussed mind (focussing on inner self) and definitely purity of soul. Thank you for sharing :)
