I've been noticing lately the difference between thoughts as they are ordinarily recognized, and those apprehended at a more fundamental level. Thoughts on the surface level of thinking will typically contain just the one thought; "I need to go to the store", "The sum of 57 and 85 is 142", "That person approaching is smiling at me". Constructs may then be built from the assemblage and relationships of these single thoughts, but nonetheless they remain lovely, linear and singular. In contrast, there are thoughts, too, apprehended at a more fundamental layer of their emergence, which contain entire perspectives, entire worlds within them.
When I encounter such a thought, I am astonished at the amount of information it contains, and all of the information I am able to unravel from it once I express it in a linear fashion. Many of my posts here are the results of such thoughts, appearing first as a concentrated singularity, but then sometimes unraveling into several paragraphs or more. I haven't been able to see them as a precise shape yet, just before unraveling, because the process is one of intuitively expending the discrete energy of the thought through expression until it is exhausted, like pouring out a glass of water along a straight line until the glass is empty. Unlike a surface thought, a singularity, these more subtle thoughts already contain all of their associated structures and constructions inherent in their seed form. I think it would be fascinating to see the spherical energy of the thought, its exact shape, prior to the unraveling process. I'd like to know how all of that energy is stored, precisely, and what it looks like. Does it look like an atomic structure, with a concentrated core, surrounded by shells of decreasing energy, or is it more like a coiled spring—the energy inherent in the shape itself? To be continued. :-)
