mental.

I was thinking about what to write. I thought. then I thought about what I was thinking about. then I sat down to think about my thinking. i thought. what was I thinking?? what was the point of thinking about thinking? I was trying to consciously think about my thoughts....how good they were, how bad, or just why so. But then, I again had to think about what I was thinking then. obviously, I had to think about what my thoughts were on my thoughts of that which I was thinking about thinking. I now 'thank'. too much thinking, I could not think of the word used to describe the process. I knew it started with a 't' somehow and sounded somewhat like 'dink', but just couldnt get my mind to remember that word. tdink????? So I still continued thanking, and later started wondering about why I thanked so much. I had to, just had to, thunk (?) about why the heck I was doing so much crap, so futile, why was I having so many thunks??? I had to find out. I had to have better thonks. I thank I was thanking about better thonks, I thunk I had some, but I forgot. I now found myself thunking about why I had so many thonks in my head. tdinking, thunking, thonking, thanking.....thinking. too much.then...
Scotty barked,
I stopped.

Saved by the bark (not the tree kind, more like bow-wow, or woof-woof, whichever you like). If it wasnt for my cute, lil' furry k9 friend, I would have ended up in a vortex of thoughtless black-hole-like-thought-continuum that would have eventually led me to my own doom.
Thank (as in expressing gratitude) Scotty!! He saved me. Mind. never mind???? how can I?? how can you??? this dastardly thing is bloody carved into my head! I cant 'never mind'! Its like, part of me n' shit!

Imagine if we started counting the number of thoughts we had in a day, or say an hour. Lets say I started thinking about object 'A' for the first minute. That would make the first..1 thought. But then I was also thinking about counting that thought as the first thought. So I guess I would have to count that one too...making it 2 thoughts in the first minute. since I thought that I had to count the second thought, I know have 3 thoughts. Well, it takes a thought to count to 3, voila, 4. ah, I used a french word! 5. I was surprised, 6. I am still concentrating on counting all these, 7. I now realize that the former 6 thoughts were thoughts that were rooted from the 1st thought itself..so...now im confused. 8,9,10. oh damn im confused, what are thoughts? why the hell am i doing this? arpana where are you? "See you on the other side, when I close my eyes". stop singing pvd songs.eh, enough.. concentrate. count. 16?17?35??????? wait...where was I? 10? let me start all over again..1 was 'A', 2 was........

i think if i carried on, i would reach....hmmm..infinity!! DAMN THIS TERM! who the hell coined this term?????????? obviously, time would have passed and the 1hr would have ticked away, but im still busy counting the number of thoughts I had in the 1st minute. oh ofcourse, not to mention, the poor memory that I have, I probably wouldnt have remembered half of them. infinity? WHY!??????????? damn, if only i wasnt so 'educated'! ;)

are you thinking yet? think about it. or...dont. but then aren't you thinking about not thinking? that means you'd be thinking. you sure you wanna do that?

powers of the mind eh? saalaa. ek dimaag saalaa aadmi ko sab kuch banata hai (in hindi)

so what now? is it possible? is there an ability of the human mind to affect inanimate objects without any physical action (musculoskeletal movement)? to be able to use our mind to control or affect someone or something else's behaviour, change something remotely? brainwaves?? or electrons jumping out of the mind through the skull, the skin and the hair (or just skin!) and doing some work???
or how about just using it to control ourselves in situations where we are most likely not be able to control ourselves? say, under the influence of alcohol, weed etc.??? controlling pain, pleasure? remember better, learn more. sorta like upgrading a pc?

hmm....

hmmmmm......

mind games, mind wars, mind freaks, mind the mind. damn mind. minding the never mind was always something to mind. getting repetetive ain't I? well, don't mind.


more on this later (thinking).

Does anyone want me to bring my philosophy textbook back to dxb? It's just a great collection of pieces about everything. Don't use the arguments directly, but rather the language and terms as fodder for your own.

telekinesis - 'the power to move something by thinking about it without the application of physical force.'
jean grey and mottai (bald in malayalam) proffessor seem to know everything about it, even use it. lazy bums. but maybe not. maybe to do such a feat requires more energy than physically doing the same. which one is worse? a migrane or a broken arm? well,a migrane takes the cake, and the icing too. i guess the mind is much more complicated than a transmitter, its more like a gazillion of those put together together to form millions of something else, which in turn combines to be something else and further...until we have that mass we lovingly call the brain.

btw, it would be nice if you ppl could express your views with more than yes/no's. the keys on your keyboard are meant for something. use it. would like to know more about what you think than me just rambling on.

and bub, forget your philosophy text book, get the philosophy in your head, thats what we are after.

although i am quite surprised with the response, i would definitely want to see much more. it would take what..15 mins of your time to write in something? since you reply already, just elaborate a lil more.

you dont have to be drunk to discuss such topics.

later.

For many, many years there have been individuals who claim to be able to do extraordinary things using only the powers of the mind - telepathy, telekinesis, and even stranger things, like X-ray clairvoyance. Although exact definitions are hard to nail down, these "powers" differ from claims of spiritualism and psychic ability, in that telepathy and telekinesis are (ostensibly) natural phenomenon and not influenced by the supernatural."

isnt our very own movement a consequence of the power of our minds?? our minds have the power to move our body. it has been concluded that it is our brain that controls everything we do, physically. behold its power then. im typing all this because of that power vested in my brain. its just not a bodily mass placed in my skull doing nothing. infact, it does everything. my liver does not move my hand when 'I' want it to. Nor do my intestines help thrust my leg forward to kick a football. the brain. all by the brain. our loving, our hatred, our emotions, all decided by the brain (?? well, functions of the heart are quite a controversial and arguable topic, but..)
this power is taken for granted. we seem to be our brain. so nothing great. and therefore, we are looking to control everything else.
in a way, we are paralysed; since we are interested only in controlling everything else that we cannot. yet.
just as a person who is physically paralyzed, his/her mind being powered just enough for him/her to breathe, just enough for his respiratory organs to work and nothing else, we (people who are not paralysed) are powered just enough to control our own body.

maybe if we could somehow amplify our brain, power it up further so that there are more objects under its control than just whats under the skin.
maybe if we perfect controlling our body, our mind might be able to control something else too.
maybe. maybe not.
