This morning as I was getting ready for work, I became aware of how aware I was to my location. Whenever I’m in a hurry to go somewhere and have to retrieve stuff scattered around the house, the place where I think a thought seems to become significant. It is as if the thought and the place are connected.
An age-old speaker’s trick for organizing one’s thoughts is to do it by place. “In the first place…” begins countless speeches or points.
When someone tries to recall a long-lost fact, their eyes will often focus (or unfocus, rather) on a particular point in front of them. Science has shown some evidence of a mental “lost and found” which corresponds to this point in space. Interestingly, people seem to have a favorite spot for this look, their eyes returning to it again and again.
While all this isn’t new to me, I thought of how it could be applied to so-called metaphysical concepts. Matter is nothing but thought cloaked in energy. Highly energetic thoughts can indelibly imprint matter and place. Thoughts with enough energy can organize matter.
There is much more I could write about this topic, but work gets in the way once again. Maybe I can straighten these concepts out with a little more thought.
