Something calya said here about thought forms (which sound somewhat similar to Plato's forms) got me to thinking:

Certainly the brain produces power. (This power is measured in watts.) What we perceive as thought is a transduced form of this power. But though thought is contained in the brain, the energy itself isn't so restricted. Alan Watts posited that the skull, made as it is of porous bone, wasn't enough to keep brain energy from escaping. It's simply invisible and, as yet, undetectable.

I'm not necessarily an advocate of TK or ESP (though I think both are poorly understood and often misrepresented). But I do believe that our perceptions have a powerful effect not only on ourselves but our environment.

This line of belief has only been strengthened since I've become aware of that phenomenon of clairvoyant synchronicity (which I still experience, though the intensity of it is fading). Am I hearing the universe or the overflow of other people's thoughts? Whatever it is, it's convinced me that my brain is not separate from those around me. Though housed in my skull, it interacts on many levels of awareness and reality.

This kind of thing fascinates me. I've actually been reading and thinking a lot about these sorts of things too. I hadn't read that Alan Watts thing before, though, about the brain being porous--very interesting!

I'm very honoured that you even read my sillly entry, let alone that you posted about it ... Thank you! I find these thought forms, and the abilities of the brain, quite interesting and compelling.

It is a tremendously weak energy. Kind of like trying to hear what someone's saying at the house about three blocks down.

Then again, I would think that the brain, like the computer, would have it's own internal coding scheme which would likely be different from anyone else's, which would be similar to encryption.

Thought forms exist. If you actively work on shaping thought energy you will be able to project and sense them more clearly. I used to hang with a couple of people who did energy work. Sometimes we would create forms and "hand" them to one another, and then describe what we saw/felt. Remarkable degree of accuracy for something that some claim does not exist.
