Ideas that occur in your mind.....?

Question

are they yours or does someone leave them behind?

Answer 1

I think both.

They are ours in new context ours in new because of the way we translate them and the meaning we apply.

They are ours because we are quantum beings who do nothing but think, we can't help it (we can decide how to manifest these thoughts though!)

They are left behind:
When people have casual thoughts, definite opinions and in the strongest cases ritual or obsessive or pure truth type thoughts they imprint the spiritual atmosphere around them. This 'story board is not easy for some to tap into. For others the channel is so open they may view it as a curse. Most of us to one degree or another are influenced regularly by it.

I see this in areas with stronger histories, such as geographic concentrations of ancestral people who pay high respect to animal totems...'modern towns' that spring up on those locations gravitate towards these animal totems without understanding why. Place names, store logos...there are hot spots of trends.

I myself have seen this in old cabins, old homesteads, old native American sites where I have been very sensitive to the 'energies' of the location.

Certain residues can be built up and very clearly perceived by sensitive people.

Answer 2

Ideas are usually built upon the ideas of others, but when you come up with something more innovative and advanced than the original idea, it becomes your own. For example, let's say you have an idea for this really awesome television reality show called "Celebrities Getting Eaten by Sharks". Well, that idea is just a combination of previous ideas. You did not come up with the idea of television, but you built on it. You did not come up with the idea to film sharks like a documentary, but you built upon it. You did not come up with the idea of a celebrity, but you simply built upon the idea that there are a lot of celebrities (such as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Donald Trump, Michael Bolton, Simon Cowell, Bernie Mac, Kevin Bacon, Pedro Martinez, William Shatner, Christina Aguilerra, John Stamos, Andy Milonakis, Bill Cosby [or his cartoon alter-ego Fat Albert], Tom Brady, The Brady Bunch, and Paris Hilton, just to name a few) who deserve to get eaten by sharks, and to have that publicity stunt be put on the air for the television viewers to see and laugh at with enjoyment. So, in essence, everything has already been done, just minor upgrades to current products, services and ideas occur and we think that they're so much better because they are already advanced. Also, take the iPod. It used to be a big clunky thing that held a sh!tload of music, then we were given the iPod Nano, which didn't hold as much music, but was a quarter the size of the original. Now we have the iPod Shuffle, which holds 2 Gigs of music, but clips onto your shirt like those annoying commercials show you. Ideas all occur within the same spectrum of ideas, the iPod being an offshoot of singing, which sprung instruments, symphonies, phonographs and record players, 8-tracks, cassette tapes, CDs, and now, mp3 players. So no; no idea is original anymore, just groundbreaking.

Answer 3

When you meet someone, converse, or possibly just share a stare amongst each other, I believe you take away some aspect of there demeanor, or shades of there character. Each encounter changes you. So yes, I suppose some of the ideas in your mind are those left behind by others and are then manipulated through your mental process into your own ideas. This is just my opinion of course, I hope it helped.

Answer 4

The mind is not for thinking, the mind is for receiving thought. We can fine to and hear only Gods commands or "normally" We pick up thought from many sources. Similar to radio signals.

Answer 5

A human's ideas are God's ideas because we all are God. Each human share a quality which is a part of who God is; God has billions of personalities and there are billions of people. God is here and everywhere. He is you, me, and everybody around us in every country and everywhere you may look.

Answer 6

Ideas emerge from the world of dreams. They are not yours alone, until you take them and make them your own.

Answer 7

Ideas do not transfer between brains.
