Forever Changed

 Images or events can affect us deeply, and unwillingly be date stamped into memory. Attached to the memory of certain events, we are given vivid reminders of where we might have been, or who we were with, when we learned the news of an event. These memory date stamps are markers for our sense of perception. Some images we see can redefine our concept of perspective itself, and re-write the code we use to process all future incoming information. Things we learn from a profound realization become instinctively remembered, because they clarify even the view of our memory.

When the technology of a once modern man allowed us to view the earth from space, it literally elevated our perspective as a simple point of view. But the profound realization delivered with the image elevated the perspective of humanity. Without a word the image shows our love for discovery is stronger than our fear of the unknown. This is a picture of where each and every human being calls home. This is what the stars see when they look back at us, all of us. With such startling realization from a single glimpse, we are forever changed...

Between the Words

When we have our best ideas, our most ingenious thoughts, or the most heartfelt conversations as with life-long friends, we reach a certain depth or level of understanding. To reach this place, we travel on wavelengths. Although we don't actually go anywhere, we can become lost in thoughts, or find ourselves somewhere far away down memory lane.

Internally with ideas and thoughts it can be felt like the vibration or pulsation of a wavelength. We fix in on the frequency as thoughts progress and ideas take shape. Simple ideas can unfold into startling realizations, and random thoughts transformed into plausible theories as we surf these progressive thought wavelengths.

Externally we communicate in written and spoken words, and we key in on the harmony of the wavelength. When our words reach above the limitations of fear, we relate, or understand each other with a clarity beyond description. We find the harmony in the meaning between the words. We begin to truly listen, or understand, when the harmony of that wavelength is recognized...

Before Random Thoughts and after Quantum Theory

If we consider where our interests come from, we might better understand what shapes our personality. In things that interest us, we give our attention freely. In return we can gain pleasure, knowledge, or a link to the dynamic power of inspiration. The inspiration we can gain by reading someones words can help our whole lives, whether we needed help or not. We can find subtle inspiration in a glimmering sunset, it's profound beauty just enough to take our breath away. Inspiration can instantly power motivation, and the abilities to feel, think, and act. Feelings, thoughts, and actions are what move us through life. How you act is what the public sees of your personality. How you act and think is what your friends see of that personality. How we act, think, and feel is the personality.

All things unknown are the vast emptiness of space. This just a random thought at first. And such a thought is from an unknown source, perhaps a product of inspiration. A tiny bit of energy that can instantly become a small idea, with the capability to unfold itself into something huge. Pieces of information we receive and store in memory are mixed with our likes and interests, our knowledge and beliefs. When enough of the pieces fit together, a random thought explodes into a new idea, with new direction. With energy we produce thoughts and manipulate them like stardust, and ideas are born just like stars are born, only on a much smaller scale.

To understand the vastness of the external universe (from the eye, outward) we must also understand the vastness of a subatomic or internal universe. We associate the internal view with the great depth of our imagination, and the link to its depth is through inspiration. With energy we think and reason, and with energy we move into action. We replace the unknown with energy in the ability to understand. We discover things in the unknown darkness of both space and wonder. Light travels one direction while thought travels the other, both delivered with energy. In this respect, the expansion in our universe coincides with our expansion of knowledge, only on a much larger scale. Should the evolution of life hold similarities, it might be within the dynamics of energy.

To have any thoughts at all about this idea, you will utilize those dynamics from creation to delivery, and all points in between...
