The Power of an Idea…

Any dominating idea, plan or purpose held in the mind through repetition of thought and an emotional desire for its realisation is taken over by the subconscious mind and acted upon by natural and logical means available.

Where are today’s Edison, Bell, Einstein, Tesla and all the rest of the inventors we had in the past few centuries? Where are today’s DA Vinci, Van Gogh, Michelangelo who had so much to offer this world?
We are still the same human race – evolution has not accelerated for us to consider ourselves any different from those great minds. Then why do we struggle with coming up with innovative ideas that push the minds of masses to contemplate, to think, to express through innovations and art that language alone cannot do.
Is it because now ideas are all incentivised and patented by multinational corporations, or more so made the average human believe that alone they are powerless and cannot run the marathon without their backing? Why? Because they have power? Something that reverts back to controlling us through fear?
Or is it the fact that through the constant bombardment of advertising, media, TV and technology – we have succeeded to clutter our brains to the extent that ideas do not flow to our brains like they used to. As the first paragraph states, ideas need to have persistence and determination behind them – by creating chaos internally, its just not possible for an individual person to think something through and to have belief in it.

Is death only the beginning?

Death is inevitable.

Being afraid of death is something that affects all of us. It is a source of anxiety that reaches every aspect of our lives.

The way our society worships the youth and persistently avoids the elderly is where the problem lies, it shows the attitude we have towards death – YOLO – You only live once so do everything you can without thinking about the consequences? Is that what the youth believes today?

Our desperate need for distraction, along with the worshipping of celebrities and following. Judging the book by its covers – subconsciously we are all doing that.

What used to be called an ‘age of beautification’ which hits all of us at one time during our lifetime in the normal course of existence, does not have the same meaning now. This time is somewhere after the puberty and teenage years, as the individual looks into the mirror and sees the vessel that takes him through his/her travels through life. A few years of fixing your hair, make up addictions etc to have a presentable exterior(appearance) – teaches automatically after a few years, and it is more of a realisation – that ageing is an inevitable fact. Once realised, all of us humans take our own course to seek meaning. This is the time when finally we have realised that life is more than how we have grown up and thought it to be. At some point during our lives, we all face this glass shattering reality.

Through the glamour and careful understanding of human subconscious behaviour, large beauty corporations have promoted cosmetics and beauty treatments in our faces to an extent that we see, we buy, we run out and we repeat – Welcome to consumerism.

With the advancement of technology, will history look back at us as being the stupidest civilisation or the cleverest of them all? Are we really denying death? Is this what the religions warned us about? The fact that we will be so absorbed that we wont be able to see what is right in our faces?
