Mind,Thoughts and Me

mind-it is the most beautiful thing as long as we can control it. but it is the most frightening when one couldn't control it.Bcos it has the potential to induce fear, an entity respected even by brave souls-they fear fear.
i dona how many of us noted this-when we think intensely our breathing becomes shallow.strange isn't it-the connection between breathing and thinking?Does it mean that thoughts have physical aspects?
it s believed that thoughts are waveforms.how actually do we define a thought?what's the difference between thoughts and feelings?have anybody thought of this?
i believe that thoughts are originated from language.i also think that thoughts are meant for communicating to the external aspects other than our conscience,to external world and the part of brain we are not conscious about,for when we are aware of what is going on in and around us,we actually feel them,we dont think about them.
obviously language is important for thoughts.we cant imagine how we ll be thinking without a language.and obviously the more strong we are in a language the more clearly we can organise our thoughts.but, it is better to pin the thoughts with our feelings rather than the meanings suggested by the words.it is also good to communicate ourself with what we actually feel rather than using thoughts.(bizarre?)
let me give an example related to the above para.we all knew what is love.but do you think we would understand love by reading its definition?no.we knew what is love only one feels it.also by referrin to love, we dont imply a single meaning.there is difference if i come and say "i love you"
to you and the same to my sister(in tamil we have two words in place of love-anbu,kathal).what i have written here are my thoughts.it might have no sense to someone who has not felt what is meant.what we feel is more important than what we think.i should rather say what we feel is more important than what we think we think.
they say thoughts have powers.that thoughts have physical impact on the external world.i too believe it.i believe in what is implied by those words.i believe that thoughts are a way to vent our energy.and i believe that we have an aura around us indicating our energy levels.an aura connected with our feeling and HENCE thoughts.so thoughts do have an impact;on us and the world outside.(my thoughts end here as i feel sleepy:))

cool post da. but i've to contradict on two points here.

1. mind is a beautiful thing even if not controlled. when we don't put a rein on it and let it build a new world with data from our subconscious, it could bring in a whole new dimension. it need not be fear alone that is brought about when mind isn't controlled.

2. and language is not necessary. a simple look, a frown, a smile, a tear, a drop of saliva from the corner of your mouth all express your thoughts and feelings a million times better than it being implied by words.

p.s: i guess your neural networks paper also had some part in the conception of this ingeniouis thread ;)
