Excellent observation beyond to scope of mass perception!.

On a high level that seems to be true!. In our subjective lives we seem to be the context and everything else is the content!. Cosmically, the universe is the context in which humans and everyhing else are the content!.

Even further we are beyond the manifest and the unmanifest, we just don't identify with whatever it is that lies beyond!. By being what we are at every moment of unfoldment makes us beyond existence and non-existence!. To say we exist is spiritually redundant because that goes without saying, and non-existence is an impossibility (Law of Conservation)!. We can say we don't exist as anything fore that would imply limitation expression!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Intense thought converts us intrinsically without our knowledge towards what we think!. Suppose we go on thinking about PEACE or HAPPINESS or UNIVERSAL prosperity, then it materializes!. There is no doubt!. We are made out of our thoughts!. Besides we are also made up of what we eat!.

Suppose we eat only fresh and pure nutritious food, uncontaminated, unadulterated and unpolluted stuff always, there is no doubt that we gain all positive strength out of it!. Similarly suppose you only see pious and auspicious things through your eyes, and suppose you only hear only noble voices and suppose you only touch sacred things!. All these things have got a bearing on our personal stature!. We become more powerful rather than spiritual, I can say!. Similarly we should only smell good things!. We should not develop liking for bad smell coming out of old and rotten things!. Smell coming out of fresh flowers, fresh fruits and fresh vegetables are always good!. I think you can also give a though and make a wise guess why I am explaining all these things!.

I want to convince you that we are not only made up of our pure/impure thoughts, we are also made up of what we consume through our mouth and other sense organs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is exactly what I believe, stated in as short and sweet a manner as I've seen recently!. We are energy turned into matter!.
I don't think that this means that the "finest" human specimens are the most spiritually advanced, however!. I believe that each soul has something to learn in this incarnation, leading to the fact that old, advanced souls can appear in what we might call "faulty" bodies!. "Perfect" bodies are for those who need to focus on the physical before delving into the realm of true spiritual study and growth!.
There's much more to it, IMHO, but there's my short and sweet answer to your S&S question!.

Great question!!

I believe that the real us live in our thoughts!. Our thoughts are our true identity!. Therefore, it is reasonable to deduce that our thoughts would one day manifest into our external reality as well, since the identity is longer lasting than the facade we are forced to present to the external world due to apparent conflicts between what we really are and what we are expected to be!.

It is a tough question, and I wish I could do better justice by being more lucid in putting forward my thoughts on this!. Well, for one thing, I basically agree with the proposition!. Secondly, I am merely qualifying it by stating that there would perhaps be a time gap before manifestation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I confess I have problems understanding this premiss!. While it is true and easy to understand that we are in essence as good or as bad as our thoughts, how does that get menifested into our physical appearance!?

If you mean that our past deeds are responsible for this human life we got, I tend to agree, for that is what Hinduism/Sikhism teaches us!.

But if you mean that our thoughts in this life have made us look like this than I have a problem!. I have seen in my personal life many highly spiritual, chaste beings, suffer from deadly diseases like cancer e!.g!. Nothing in their thoughts or deeds could suggest that they were felons, yet they suffered!.

How would you explain that!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

if you are speaking of what "your life" consists of as a result of your unmanifested thoughts yes, thoughts do become your reality!.
if you are speaking of we as beings!. I cannot answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Again!.!.!.I believe the spirit uses the body as a vessel, it's essence is reflected in the bodies works and deeds, but the spirit is the only thing that was part of the beginning!.!.!.!.we are!.!.!.the spirit!.!.!.not the body!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

to an extent!.!.!.thought is electrical brain activity which IS physical, how much it transcends regular electrical activity is the question!. It does have an "agent"-- the body for one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it could be a self-fullfilling prophecy!. i think therefore i am!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No I do not think that is correct!. I think it is the other way around :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
