Not too long ago, people thought that air was simply the absence of everything else. That it didn't have mass and was not tangable, and therefore could not be manipuliated to our advantage. Along comes Bernoulli. And, of course, now we all know that air is tangable and indeed does have mass. As soon as we understood this we were able to fly!!!
Then everyone thought that sound was intangable (again because we couldn't see or touch it) and therefore we could not use IT to our advantage. Enter Marconi, and now we can all watch tv and talk on our cell phones to each other.
The next frontier seems to be THOUGHT. Most people today believe that thought is not tangable. That it exist only in our heads. Many people reason that we can't see it or touch it, therefore we can't use IT to our advantage. Well I don't put myself in the same catagory as Bernoulli and Marconi, but there is no doubt in my mind that thought is in fact a tangable thing. It does have mass and transcends time and space. As soon as we have a thought it exists everywhere all at once. The possibilities are endless once we begin to accept this.
To prove this concept to myself I decided to materilize a dozen yellow roses using nothing but my thoughts. I placed pictures of yellow roses on my refrigerator, my bathroom miror and my pillow. I thought about yellow roses all the time especially every evening and every morning. I used all of my senses. In my mind, I tasted the rosed, I hurt myself on the thorns. I imagined that my pillow was stuffed with rose pedals. And I didn't tell a soul what I was doing. After about two weeks of this, I was at work one day when a white van pulled in the driveway. I began to tremble. I knew what was about to happen and suddenly I didn't want it to be true. But it was. The driver handed me a dozen yellow roses!!! They were from an aquaintance in Germany!!!! I called to thank her and she told me the story of how about "two weeks ago" she had started smelling flowers all the time. And how thoughts of flowers came to her throughout the day. And how finally one day she couldn't stand it any longer, and passing by a flower shop decided to stop in. She told me that she decided on the spot to buy herself a dozen roses but began to feel selfish and changed her mind. She would send the flowers to a friend instead. She choose me, and at the last minute she asked the clerk to change the order from red roses to yellow roses.
My point is this... every creature has a thought process, and every though is projected into the universe. People tend to think that we are somehow better than all other creatures. We tend to personify everything, especially our pets. But we also tend to forget that we ourselves came from lower life forms!!!! Every life form has the ability to evolve into any other life form. It happens all the time but so slowly that we tend to deny it because we cannot see it happen. Our own evoloution to a higher life form is what has enabled us to have these emotions we love to talk about so much. There was a time in our past when we were not capable of love just the same way you believe your snake is not capable of these higher emotions. Hello folks... we WERE the snakes!!!!
So I will remain open-minded that all living creatures are capable of evolving into higher life forms just as we did, and therefore carry the capacity for love always. Just because we are at the top of the food chain right now does not mean that we will always be. A million years from now snakes may sit around wondering if humans are capable of love.
