IN REFERENCE TO THE BEGINNING OF THOUGHT? BEGINNING OF THOUGHT? Briefly: Imho the origin of ‘thought’ is awareness! When awareness becomes aware of All That It Is..!What I actually call/see as 'the glance'! Void/nothingness glimpses Itself (in Its inherent medium we call awareness) and this one glance...the ah ooo mmm (om) of becoming aware of all that I Am... is what we call existence.

But this is not 'thought' in our terms as it is still pure awareness w/o anyone to identify with it. With identification it starts to become 'thought’. Actually identification is not the bad thing it’s made out to be- its part of the cosmic play- it is actually awareness creating a narrower more honed focuses to experience/express/revel in itself. As the focus becomes narrower and more honed – it’s what we call identity. Without this narrowing of focus, All That Is/ or Awareness of All That Is, wouldn’t be able to explore/experience every nuance of Self wholly/separately…and the whole thing would be one cosmic soup. In analogy…Like the www… if there were no websites or email ids’ …the www would be there with all this data and stuff…but one big soup! Or take another analogy... of a young girl looking in the mirror and liking what she sees;-)) and then focusing on each part, her pink toes, her long legs, her eyes, her eye lashes etc!

So thoughts originate as Awareness of All That Is. When this Awareness adopts forms towards a narrower honed focus… identities are created (identity:  a part of the whole that is separate -or has its boundaries- for a while to fully experience that range that falls within its focus) to keep these experiences separate and inviolate from each other so they can be experienced fully/wholly rather than get mixed up.  The narrower or more honed the focus the denser its frequency; and thus awareness becomes thoughts. We can even view God as a focus/id, lets call it the largest focus /id, and thus of high frequency as closest to awareness Itself; then this focus narrows/gets more honed… call it universe and planet and angels and you and me etc….and with every narrowing/honing the frequency gets denser… actually at a very deep level, each thought is a form, an identity! Ofcourse the whole things gets reversed at some point…when the exploration is done, the identification/form is not required (like a vehicle is not required once it gets us there) and then we ‘desire’ to move away from self identification and thoughts and so the journey ‘back’… dissolving ego/boundaries/ thoughts back to becoming pure awareness

Awareness goes through varying frequencies before it become thought as we know it- sound (pure vibration) light (awareness) thoughts (identification) …and matter ( thoughts in its densest frequency) .Simply put, thought is the basis of creation, the creative desire- the movement within potential/stillness- to be/experience/know/revel in All That it Is. This creates what we call our universe and all within it! And thus in us, a you and me, it is a movement within us- our creative desire -to know/ experience /be all that we are – that creates all that is within us-our personal worlds and realties.

IN REFERENCE TO THE QUOTE: "THE EGO SPEAKS TO THE EGO AND THE BUDDHA RESONATES WITH THE BUDDHA." And thus if we as a seeming Buddha are responding to someone we view as an ego...then it is our ego... not Buddha hood responding! And if we, even still in ego are not in judgment, condemnation of another...if we can see the essence from where the other expresses…be open to all points along the continuum rather than only the Buddha point…we are paradoxically in our Buddha hood! How subtle, how quaint!

IN REFERENCE TO SHIVA – SHAKTI:  We can see these 2 aspects of the one through good ol Shiva Shakti too! Shanti is the supreme yin principle/void- a state of pure beingness; Shiva is the supreme yang principle/awareness. The paradox unravels when we see why yin (a state of pure momentum) is known as the quality of stillness; and yang (a state of stillness) is known as the quality of action/active. This can be ‘written’ in so any ways, so it’s the essence not the words that matter: Shanti/void is pure beingness, ‘unaware’ in our terms, w/o the mind in our terms …w/o thought in our terms …and thus she is the stillness of pure beingness.  Indeed momentum only becomes aware of Itself/Herself…sees Herself….thus comes into consciousness… ‘alive’ … in the medium of still awareness (Shiva)- thus she/yin is known as the stillness she views her self as/in.. And yang still awareness is awareness of Its all-momentum state… and thus is known as that aspect!

Ofcourse Shiva/shakti; awareness void are not two! So another way to say it would be
