Our Mind: the self-fabricating tool





I was musing [blame it on my Muse's mentoring interventions, again!] the way we think, and I realized the different dimensions and forms, by which we are affected by the tangible tools we handle and the intangible tools that are the instruments of facilitation for those tangible tools. From there I made the connection of how the mind IS the tool maker but is also effected by the tools it creates. In creating the tool the mind changes its own form, function, and purpose.  

Goes to show that our dependencies, resilience, and ingeniousness is an acquired, as well as learned, trait by the conditions through which the mind navigates.

When not the tangibles, engage by intense though on the intangibles

Taking a cue from what others mentioned to me about feeling my vibes or attributing results to my attitude about things.. If you are emotionally obsessive.. ...in your thoughts about something or someone; then if   that someone is within a proximal distance of you, let's say 20 yards to several hundred miles, without having a conscious thought about you, they will have an unconscious awareness of you. As for things and events: Consider your thoughts as waves radiating from you and being more than just 'a note in a bottle thrown out in the ocean', but more like a wave of billiard balls that interact with other waves of billiard balls. If the velocity and direction of the interacted balls are also headed in the general direction of travel as your thought wave of billardballs, then they will join the movement of the affected to form a substantial signal which would cause the intended effect of your non-physical kinetics. I think this mode is where meditation has negl...

And Dolly being prevented going to the prom with her guy was a folly So She turned out loving being a 'Hoe And was better at it than mo'e, That You should bless the stars for this even mo'e! <                                     ...

The relatively innocent naif coming out of Central NY

Image
    As a relatively innocent naif coming out of Central NY in '68, my eyes and ears (and later my mouth ) was wide-open to the propositions suggested and asserted by others. By mid-May '70 I finally had the empirical evidence of who was blowing smoke up-my-ass and into-my-face and able to demarcate my identity as something with at least an idiosyncratic, if not a unique imperative. Further years proved a repeated seen it-heard it of the expected and the monotonous.BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE... It was those oases of the unique to the thought provoking that kept me from what could be worse sociopathic or psychopathic ventures, since being in the military precluded anything more than a comfortable material port of benignity. Tho' I shared other's cynicism and skepticism of the Clintons and their ersatz media virtue, and had been on the left as an anti-authoritarian despite my posturing subordination to the decorum and discipline of a military careerist; I tho...
