Truth Revisited ...

THE PROJECT - RESEARCH

Project Proposal /Synopsis

Introduction:

Thoughts are obviously & undoubtedly integral part of our lives and personality. They arrive or visit our Mind - consciousness as it were and seem to be there all the time effecting
(or affecting) and influencing our daily life. The so - called Mind or consciousness seems
to be intimately connected with Thoughts (sankalp, vikalp, vichar ityadi) and connected
& resultant all pervading feelings, emotions which seem to be to occupy all mind space.
We see that these Realities as it seems to be, play an important part in shaping, moulding and directing our lives.

Following are the known facts (Truths) about this vital aspect (Thoughts) of our Life / Personality:
a) They come on their own (swatah) and automatically as if internally directed / designed. Generally, there is no freedom of creating, choosing, selecting and manifesting them ( i.e., making them appear)
b) Hence they appear to be part of Life process, in-built aspect of Consciousness.
c) Therefore they must be Spiritual entities or part of spiritual aspect of man.
d) Thinking is known to Human beings (species) only, Not to animal and vegetables or trees. It is said to represent knowing aspect or faculty in Man (Mind)
e) Feeling and Willing are other aspects which are found in Man and animal both, But in trees (Vegetable kingdom) only feeling aspect is found.
f) Thought seems to be a wave form and is directly related to 5-elements (for its formation), Energy and Consciousness which seem to carry these waves (as carrier)
g) They manifest as signals, messages from 5-sensory (Gyanendriyas) inputs also apart from originating from within the mind and outer space (or Consciousness) beyond.
h) They have their independent existence in space-mind or outer space.
i) Thoughts come from Brain as per Medical Science and from mind as per Philosophy.
j) We feel and see and also it is said that NO THOUGHT state of Consciousness is purer, brighter, more energetic, holistic and connects us to cosmos (as an internal feeling)
k) Thoughts manifest and appear in so many various ways as repeatitive sequence, patterns, positive (Right, useful & pure), negative (wrong, impure & impure)
(elevating or depressive), random, systematic, inspired, creative, bright idea or just
an idea and so on and so forth)

Therefore, there is need for Effective Thought Management (as part of Personality or Self - management). For this, it is imperative and worthwhile to know or understand the origin of Thoughts, its creation , its process (Thinking process) and the mechanism of Thinking process.

Scope of Research

While many answers may be found in philosophy, this proposal for research is for direct perception, deep research (& search) and study of the following:

a) Origin of Thoughts - The most primary creating source of Thoughts
i) Whether they are only from inner mind
ii) Or, inner as well as outer space consciousness and beyond
iii) Whether they exist in space at all times and make themselves manifest from time to time

b) The mechanism of thought or thinking process
iv) Role of life energy as carrier for appearance of thoughts
v) Relationship of Thoughts with impressions in the mind and sensory inputs (in the formation of thoughts) alongwith the mechanism of interacting with 5-elements / energy
for its formation vi)Role of cosmic energy in thought formation

c) Effect of thoughts and thought patterns, feelings & emotions on Mind-consciousness
and Quality of thoughts, feelings from different conscious states

d) It seems that thoughts and it's various forms somehow act as strings or threads of puppet (which the man represents). He/she seems to act as per the flow of different types/qualities of thoughts etc. Therefore attempt will be made in this study (Search & research) to corelate it with cosmic entities, celestial bodies, cosmic energy - if there is any corelation? And also with man's previous (past) thought patterns (sanskars; impressions) and actions - if there is any corelation?

e) With the above study and with the findings, it will be explored whether a state of mastery and control over thought process and patterns is possible and in which conditions/situations

f) Finally, physiological and neurochemical base or aspect as it is affected by the thought process/patterns and in what way, may also be studied if found useful (What is the role of neurochemicals etc.?)

This is purely intended as seeking of Truth (to unearth the Truth within one's own mind/self by various means of enquiry and as direct perception & experience also to great extent
i.e., anubhuti)
