Question: Your concept of thought!?
Edward's mind-reading power from the book series Twilight got me thinking!.!.!.I was just curious, what are your concepts of thought!? Do you think with words, or pictures, or what!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I definitely think in words!. I am a thinker by nature, and have been this way for some time!. My mind is always at work, always turning!. I talk to myself a lot too, which in my perspective deals more in words and thoughts versus images!. Lots of times I rehearse how I am going to say something to someone else, and or I say things people have told me!.!.!. again, all in words!. I would love to hear how other people think in pictures, or other forms too! Interesting!

Thanks for reading!Www@QuestionHome@Com

One does of course dream more in pictures (subconscious mind) than they would in words (conscious mind)!. That's one of the features for training one's memory, which is by association, linking information to an image in the mind and it's simpler to recall a picture than a set of words, at least it is for most people generally!.

This might interest you about how mind reading is done!. It takes place in Tibet!.

TELEPATHY CH 6 (quoted in part):

As my time was getting limited I moved on to Takohu Monastery, accompanied by Geshi Dar Tsang, and we received a cordial welcome from Geshi Tung La!. His science was the art of reading the mind, otherwise known as telepathy!.

Telepathy interested me very much, for here was something that I could use with effect in my own healing work, and I lost no time in getting down to real practice!.

I developed an amazing power to read Geshi Tung La's mind, perhaps because we were very much in tune with each other, and I was so interested in the work that I fell into it naturally!. While he spoke in Tibetan I spoke in Hindustani, to help to form our thoughts!. I found it very simple - it came to me without effort!.

Geshi Tung La's explanation to me was like this: Thoughts make waves in the ether similar to radio waves!. It is common knowledge that there is a multiple number of radio waves in the ether at the same time, and not one interferes with the other!. These invisible radio waves become audible when you have an instrument to receive them!. They are modified and transformed back into sound!.

"Now," said Tung La, "man also has a broadcasting and a receiving set!. The pituitary gland is the projecting organ, and the pineal gland is the receiving organ!. Thought waves are sent out by one person to another person who, if he be in tune, will receive them!. This must be done without effort!. At the receiving end you must not try to interpret consciously; you must allow the feeling to come into the mind!. This feeling is transformed into thought and you begin to know what is received!.

"It is a sort of feeling, not really thinking, for thinking sets in motion the pituitary gland and this distorts the receiving mechanism of the pineal gland!."

I found that this was true!. When I tried to think what he was saying in Tibetan I could not get it completely, but, when I did not try, the whole formation of his thoughts was "received!."

Tung La said: "You are a natural born receiver!. Because you are a medium you speak from inspiration; you just speak without thinking!"

I replied: "That is perfectly true!. If I thought what I was going to say, I would find myself floundering; but when I just speak as I feel, and feel as I speak, the flow is perfect!."

"That is correct," he told me!. "You do not need any instruction in telepathy, as you are a born medium for it!. There are many like you - but few have found it out!."

I was pleased to hear his confirmation that I was a natural medium; I was reading the minds of others all the time, though I did not know it!.

As I have already mentioned, I have healed people all over the world, many of whom could not speak a word of my language, nor I of theirs!. When they spoke I took no heed of what they were saying but I got a clear picture of their complaint!. Intuition, call it what you like, the fact that I knew what was in their minds, proved I could read their thought-feelings!. In point of fact, their thoughts and feelings were transferred to me, and I could feel what they felt, according to their thought-feelings!.

I could tell if they were sincere or not, I would know if they liked me or not, I knew if they were doubtful or full of fear!. All the shades of their thought-feelings were to me quite clear!.

Anyway, I witnessed the pupils, over twenty in number, practising sending messages to one another!. They were changed about, until he found the best pairs!. The accuracy of their projecting and receiving was astounding!.

Firstly, the projector would write a letter of the alphabet or a number on a board in front of him, and the other with his back to him would write it down!.

Then a word would be written, then a sentence, then the projector would read silently out of a book while the receiver would repeat it, and a recorder standing by would write down as the receiver repeated the words!. Very seldom did they make a mistake!. I thought it was a wonderful demonstration!. The distance between them was increased until a range of mountains separated them!. It showed that there is no space, that we are not separated!.

"Light and sound are carried by the ether waves," said Geshi Tung La, "so is thought and feeling!."

I stayed here ten days and a grand friendship sprang up between us!. He would speak in Tibetan, and I in Hindustani!. We did this in general conversation also, to keep our practice up!.

I find that I think best in steps!.
For example: After I answer your question I will take the dog out for a walk!. After that I have to add water to the pool and I won't think much further then that until though things are finished then I think of more to do!.
When I think like this I get more done and when the day is thru I have accomplished everything I sent out to do!.
Hope I have been of some help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think thought is truly an amazing gift that way too many take for granted and don't use to their full potential!. Thought is what separates us from the animal kingdom!. I 'think' with pictures and feelings!. I tend to picture things and the feelings that those things give/bring to me!. Quite simple, I believe in the Law Of Attraction and live my life by it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
