Do not fear this concept please. its a happy one

What if our thoughts are as public as speech on a different frequency and available to time and space and entities?

An actual physical frequency is what fascinates me. … meaning we as humans can one day understand the consciousness of mother earth perhaps :sunny: that’s neat to me

Maybe one cycle per second is also twenty million cycles from another dimension and therefore round with no beginning or end

You can project your thoughts. Sometimes people pick up on what I am thinking more than I would imagine. One time I was sitting outside McDonald’s thinking about getting some sweet tea, and this guy started talking about people getting a large dose of sugar and caffeine from drinking sweet tea in McDonalds. I didn’t know the guy, but it seemed like he was keying in on me. I get other stuff like that too.

I am curious if lower frequency brain waves have more power to move thru physical area like sound waves do

We are all on a similar area of thought within each other surroundings too. That sounds coincidental honestly @crimby

My reaction to that would be that it was a message to guard my health from my higher power… but could still be called coincidence

Alright you got me triggered :smile:

The notion of ‘a thought’ would have to satisfy some conditions for this to be possible. It is clear that, as you suggest, there are many affinities between thought and speech. Sometimes, a thought is precisely ‘inner speech’, we spell out every word to ourselves until we reach the end of the sentence. But sometimes we experience ‘a thought’ in a rather different way.

We sometimes grasp, in a flash, a quite complicated thought. In such cases, one could spell everything out, either in outer speech or inner speech, but it seems superfluous - for it is merely a filling in of what seemed to be already there in the flash. It seems to me then, that thinking, (as we experience it) is at least in some cases different from speech. There is no equivalent in speech to this phenomenon of grasping a whole lot in an instant. On a side note, my best thoughts are typically experienced in this way, in a flash, whereas the thoughts that I spell out like speech in myself are typically a bit lame, I’m not sure how this is for others.

The point I am trying to get at, is what kind of ‘thing’ should a conscious thought be like, for it to be capable of presenting us a grasp of, sometimes vast amounts of content in an instant. Here the model of speech seems insufficient, and we might appeal to a visual model, comparing such thoughts to pictures instead. After all, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. There are some objections against such a model as well… For that would mean that having a thought and understanding it, would be like looking at a picture and understanding what it is about. I.e., to comprehend it in thought. Such gets us nowhere, for now it seems, that to have a thought in a flash (to see the picture) requires another thought about this. And that second-order thought, on such a model, is to be a picture once more. It is easy to see how a regress that could go on forever lurks here, which is a bad sign when trying to understand something.

No one can read minds. It just seems like it, it’s an illusion often caused by coincidence. Test it out on someone, ask them if they know what you’re thinking. Try to read their mind and see if you can do it successfully.

I see your point. Yea some thoughts even in the subconscious wouldn’t be legible in English or human language like you’re saying… that doesn’t discount the possibility of other life understanding brainwave frequencies just like our scientists can apparently guess someone is dreaming about a girl from diodes. The design of the universe is beyond the guessing of our wit and our scientist common known diodes that can trace in an empathic level of feelings… the design is so elaborate I find it very plausable there are beings that can read frequencies of the mind

I don’t believe many can. Some humans might

Yes, but I wonder whether a radically alien lifeform could read off the contents of our thoughts from the brainwaves alone. I think these brainwave patterns and locations become meaningful entities, i.e. bearers of content, to the scientists investigating them, only because they know a whole lot about the associated reports and behavior and understand the meaning of those. Could it be that the meaning/content of these brainstates is intrinsic to them, or do they become meaningful only in a context the human scientist already understand - but alien observers wouldn’t have a clue about?

@flybottle Maybe you’re right… I’m assuming in this theory that the aliens are more advanced and able to travel throughout the universe already…

What do you mean they become entities? @flybottle

Do you mean our thoughts become life?

No I did not mean such a thing. Just that an observed (set of) patterns can be called an entity, as in a definitive structure that can be named and recognized at a later time, things like that. Maybe I missed out on some associations with the term here, I am not a native speaker.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the definition myself

But ok. I understand your point… and I am also inclined to the idea that aliens are related to us and have been interacting for millennium. Not so radical. Yet I believe our scientists are likely advanced to near this extent
