It was not published earlier as I felt the note need editing and revision. It did not happen. Therefore, instead of letting this note remain in my archive, I thought that let me publish it. Later on, I will revise it.

Will Power and Game of Thought

Every thought we have is a living thing, in a sense that it is not just an idea – a two dimensional structure. A thought, how-so-ever trivial it may be is having an emotional content and it consumes energy from the person who is having the thought. In this sense it is a living thing. Every thought we are having tries to survive indefinitely by getting ‘recharged’ constantly.

Every living thing tends to perpetuate its existence in this material world. For this it requires intelligence to learn and apply the basic techniques of survival. Thought needs energy. Every energy has its origin in the material world. Thought can be considered as self-perpetuating intelligent living entity. A thought which is not ‘thinked’ over by a human being gets starved of energy. The energy of the thought is derived in this process of ‘thinking’ of the ‘thought’.  When the thought is not thought over, it does not remain neutral to the situation. It uses its intelligence of survival techniques to somehow hook the mind of the person into thinking of itself. If it fails in thus hooking, it very slowly goes into hibernation. It does not vanish. It remains in the seed form. In the seed form - in suspended animation state it can remain for thousands of years. When the suitable favourable environment is created, the thought revives itself.

The basic survival intelligence of the thought to hook a person into thinking of itself is the main problem area for a person. This intelligence of the thought does not have any

‘Good or bad’ characteristics. It uses any method to ‘stir’ a person into thinking of itself. All the emotional drama which we participate in everyday life has its origin in this ‘survival intelligence’ of the thought. The emotional drama is the technique which it uses. The energy of the thought is in emotion. Emotion is ‘energy in motion’. When this energy gets into motion, i.e. when a person has any emotion, the corresponding resonant thought gets its ‘feeding’ of the energy.

Every thought is unique and the thought of every person has the specific life signature of the person who is having the thought. However, all the similar thoughts in the atmosphere tend to get cluster together – in the similar manner as the cloud is formed. This group of thought creates the ‘group behavioural pattern of the associated persons.

The issue of ‘will power’ is grossly misunderstood because of the lack of understanding of the life mechanism and psychology of the thoughts. We associate ‘will power’ with the ‘strength of the mind’ in the similar manner as the ‘muscle power’ indicates the ability to lift heavy weight or pull a heavy object. Will power is nothing of the sort. Will power simply indicate the ability to live and work as per the will of the person. It is absolutely simple – a child play. It does not require any energy at all – in the same way as the pilot of the aeroplane does not require any of his own energy to fly (i.e. to create the thrust of air through the jet engine) the plane. He does not require any strong will power to push the buttons and move the handle – provided he is not afraid to pilot the plane. It is done in a sort of automatic manner – in the same manner as we walk in the garden.
