Whatever we see,do and implement physically in this world, is in fact ,the projection of our own mind and thoughts. So,well, after all,its all in our heads only. All the physically tangible things in the world are a manifestation of our mind's desire to express in form of thoughts which are implemented in ways of action which shape the reality around ourselves. This is the what process of evolution has ultimately brought us to, hasn't it? If you look at it,in totality.. Not only the evolution of sentient beings on the planet,but right from the time when big bang took place. The formation of galaxies and nebulas. The birth of stars and planets. The appearance of basic biological organisms on earth and then right from that point,to the point at which we are right now. Consciousness appearing in our bodies made of flesh. I have read it somewhere,"We are fundamentally, cosmos,observing the cosmos itself." And that makes perfect sense.
This idea has been in my mind for sometime now, but as i listened to the lyrics of the song "Science and Faith" by Script,(Which is anyways a very nice song), I realized this more clearly. "You won't find faith and hope down a telescope, you won't find heart and soul in the stars. You may break everything down to the chemicals, but you wont find a love like ours." Well, sounds very trivial,but makes absolutely perfect sense. The stars and planets are made up of the same material,in large parts, we have taken shape from. And still they don't have a consciousness or any sort of understanding about their surroundings. This understanding is present in ,lets say,your pet dog ,more than what there is in the ant digging her way through the hole in your backyard, but still less than you. And this is how things are. You can see a clear pattern there. Even though hidden through a lot of other obscurities and trivialities and complexities. But,on a bright,windy, sunny day ... when you are in most clear state of your mind,you can look beyond this smoke screen of nature and can see the basic underlying pattern.
And when you think over it, it makes complete sense. WE ARE ACTUALLY OUR MINDS. and everything man made we see around ourselves, is a projection of our own mind on the natural resources,to carve and convert it into something different, something brand new. This projection can be done in the most direct ways when we draw,sketch,write,compose music,or cook,or garden etc. This is so because these appeal to the most basic of our senses and immediately connect with our minds. The other activities, no matter how trivial, are also our ways to enact and create a thought from our minds. This,as it is abstract, doesn't makes us feel as good as 'direct creativity' like writing,painting etc. does, but it surely does affect the other psychological faculties within our selves which make us feel good indirectly. For example-Feeding and enlarging our egos.
The basic purpose and intent of writing this post was to try to understand the driving force behind our actions. All of our actions,all our creativity ,all our urge to make changes to our physical world is a result of the desire of our minds. So,we are infinitely powerful beings in ourselves because we make and destroy our own reality,our own fate. And whatever there might be, our creations, the man made designs and forms, are no less significant or divine than god's itself. If we consider god as the combined consciousness of this whole universe , then that consciousness also works similarly like a single human's subconsciousness ,the only difference remaining that humans are imperfect because of the clear disadvantage we are at because of our relatively very recent and humble beginnings. Also,we don't have that inherent connection with nature to let our thoughts change the course and pattern in nature. But only because it's not happening now doesn't simply mean it actually can't happen.
In some later point in our history,we ,if not annihilated by our own foolishness and inherent defects and flaws,would surely be able to evolve our consciousness to a level at which we would no longer be slaves to our sense and restricted by our physical or mental boundaries, but would venture out all of these 'closed boxes' to find,... i don't know, i can't even guess it,what?... but one thing i can guess for sure.... more happiness,peace and connection with THE WHOLE!
