This week i had many strange dreams, of far off lands, of lost friends, of nightmarish situations. These dreams provided me with a door to past memeories, to recurring dreams which once haunted me. Dreams which always take place in unusual localities, in vivid colour, containing images my mind does not want to forget.
Through these pensive thoughts on dreams of past and present i began to think of the actual process of thinking, how it is a process which does not cease until our hearts stop until life has escaped from our bodies.
Even in a sort of paralysis also known as sleep we are in a mode of thinking. When we have vivid dreams our eyelids flicker, our brains are active. When we awaken from our 'peaceful' nights sleep we are immediately thinking, trying to remember our nights adventures in the land of nod.
Some of us of course have brains which are constantly thinking but when do we get a break when can we just switch off?? for some people they find the solace of a thoughtless mind at the bottom of a bottle,in mind altering substances, in the cut of a blade, but many of us are on a constant journey of thought. We are never released from the coils of thought with which our brains our bound, so do we have to cease to exist to have a quiet mind?
procrastination has produced many of the worlds most earth shattering philosophies,the most breathtaking art, so of the most melodic music and has also drove many to the brink of sanity, can we stop our thoughts do we possess that power or must we simply remain in this mode of thinking for eternity?
wow! this is s huge topic to disscus about. Haha to "think" about!...
ReplyDeleteI believe that this extremist way of control certainly exists. Just like you say, we would have to quit everything, basicly quit living to just exist... peacefully outta the world we know to just another creature in the nature just like the Tibetan monks!
