here is something that may be important that someone allowed me to discover...
every thought that you have, about anything
when I say the word "baby" or "book" or "suburbs" or "oil" "mother" "love" or any word/ image/sound/smell/ texture for that matter, what comes to your mind? What feelings do you have when you experience these things? what is the string of thoughts that come to your mind?
everything that you were thinking are just what has been programmed in your mind based on social observation and what you have been surrounded with since you were brought into the world.
Our social constructs tell you what is or isnt and what to believe and think. Could the human mind have more possibility than this? If someone was raised entirely to believe that he could fly and had no doubt in their mind that they could fly, could they fly? It is scientifically proven(but what is science anyway~ a tangent about science later~) that everything around us, every measurable material thing that has atoms is affected by consciousness. Has the human mind created the world and everything around us? Why then did we create this box, this box of false reality when there is potentially unlimited possibilities of what could be. We all collectively create this world, but individually we control our own experience and what we allow and attract into our lives
~tangent about science~
science is not an explanation of the world. It is how the processes of the earth and universe function-not why they function- science has no explanation of why it does as it does, they can just observe it with their 5 senses and attach words and numbers to what they interpret.
If we control what we observe, then is science a reliable source of knowledge about our surroundings? As people were "discovering" more and more about the observable world, were our minds just making it up as they went along? Science is always data that is interpreted by an observer, labeled a certain way, and subject to an infinite amount of relabeling as new data and interpretations arrive.
I have more to say but im tired and have school on the 'morrow. Night.
