I think - therefore - I AM

[illuminate]

please

Imagine there's no countries - It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for - And no religion too
Imagine all the people - Living life in peace

Imagine no possessions - I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger - A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people - Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer - But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us - And the world will be as one



~ love in you ~

I was attracted by the title....

Me too.


Such an ancient 'truth'.

I like the twist in this thread.
Mr. Lennon was spot on...I well up when I think of the words to "Imagine".

Thought enables the moment.

[illuminate]

we think - therefore - we create

imagine this:

One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart)
...

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)
So when the Man comes there will be no more doom (One Song)
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation
...

One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleading to mankind



~ one love ~

[Tango]

" I'll THINK about that with You.... Let's Create Shall we...

" Imagine ..."

I think therefore I am

I'm pink therefore I'm Spam


Can't remember who said that ...

Probably helps if you know what spam is, and no , I don't mean endless offers for p***s extendings

Nighty night...

This world needs DREAMERS! Real true committed dreamers who cast their beautiful thoughts on the mass consciousness. Where are the poets? Where are the painters? Where are the dancers? Where are the "Imaginer" in us?

Are we so computerized to stop imagining what we want? No, we aren't... The light is never gone, no blade is sharp enough to cut the link with Creation. We are Creators, because we imagine! What do we want?

Namaste, Steven

[illuminate]

SWEET!

our power as individuals is multiplied when we gather together with common goals.
it is our collective strength that makes positive change possible in the world.

together, we can create a utopian earth sooner than later...
and I dunno about you, but I AM more than ready!

imagine - we can do anything (repeat)

~ you are the change ~

[futureyes]

my dream of last night ... coincides with this thread ... thought i'd share ...

i observed ... children of the future ... of the new world ... attending school(?) ...
the group wasn't large ... and not indoors ... school per se was held outdoors ... in nature ...

initially ... i watched them playing ... they were young ... probably six or seven years ...
i assumed it was their recess break ... but it felt ... somewhat different ... these children's energy felt pure ... interacting with each other went deeper ...
they felt to be very spiritual ...

then the teacher ... called them together ... informed them it was time to 'get to work' ...
they gladly gathered around the woman ...

when they were settled ... i expected textbooks to be opened ... perhaps math ... or science ...
but no ... she said ... 'ok everyone ... it is now time for imagination' ... and i quickly understood ... 'imagination' ... was then a very significant part of their learning ...

and i watched them as they collectively took a few deep breaths ... then closed their eyes ...
and the woman ... their teacher ... asked them to think of one thing ... their first thought ... or idea ...
and to take that thought ... and allow it to expand ... to integrate within their imagination ...
she asked them to allow this one thought to grow ... to where they wanted it to be ... to remember that they are the creators of their imagination ...
and periodically ... she would ask them ... 'remember where your heart is' ...

i couldn't necessarily in those moments know specifically what each child was imagining ... but i felt their energy ...
i felt ... how they streamlined ... felt their process ... taking a simple thought ... of what could be ... nurturing it ... to actually be ...
they were learning ... how to create ... for theirselves ... and for others ...
all of which ... was souly positive ...

their energy ... was so pure ... of such clarity ... that i wondered ... how could what they have imagined ... not materialize ...
for their intentions ... were ... of such balance ...

and i understood ... 'imagination' to be a very significant process to come ...
and that it WOULD come ... one day ... in the not so distant ... future ...

anyway ... can't really describe utillizing words the energy i felt from them ... as they were learning this ...
it was like ... it was like what they imagined to be ... would effortlessly come to be ...
through clairity of pure intention ... and heart ... i felt it ... as if it already was ...

so i have been pondering about imagination and creation all day ...
i feel once we all go beyond ego ...
abundance of creation ... is ours for the asking ...
and for the imagining ...

[illuminate]

wow, what an amazing and wonderful dream Futureyes...
THANK U x 3 for sharing this with us

~ you create ~

[Steven]

One more reason to be proud of humanity!

Imagine a gigantic world party where everyone takes the streets to dance and have fun around our ancestral music. All over the world, musics embrace the valleys, oceans, montains, cities and villages. Wildlife come out of their lairs to join and adds their joy to the gathering. Earth itself join with winds and waves to lift us all into a bliss of happiness and freedom! We are one, one thought, one heart, we will make of this world a paradise...

I want this world!

[Steven]

We are a nation of blessed and blessers. Never darkness will prevail, never Creation will stop pouring on us its flow of magical Love upon us!

We are proud to be human and united we will make it! I am native of this land, Earth is my mother and never I will let her down.

i had a dream steven ... oh oh ... here she goes again ...

a year ago ... and it reoccurs ...

the world ... it changes ... the shift ... BEcomes ...
thereafter those moments ...

yes ... we all go outside ... everyone in this world ...
the animals ... plants and flowers ... all look to the sky ...

it is glorious ... everything feels and appears ... tranquil ... the energy calm in comparison to what is now ...
and peace ... i felt so much peace ...

and yet ... it was a time of celebration ... we were all ... moving into the new ...

getting back to the sky ... it was like a muted pastel array of colors ... integrated so beautifully ...
and there were small lights ... dancing in all different directions ... they felt of so much love ...

and from the sky ... fell raindrops ... but not of rain ... not of water ...
they sparkled ... sprays of glitter ... i stood there and thought it to be divine bling that was falling ...
like a benevolent shower ... but we never got wet ...

when the drops touched us ... it was like being touched ... by the hand of the creator ... of source ...
and with every drop that fell upon me ... i realized with greater clarity ...
what it's all about ... what really is ...
it fell together ... like a puzzle ...

i had felt no greater oneness to all that is ... to everyone and everything ... than in those moments ...
but mostly ... what i felt was ... a new beginning ... about to unfold ... i felt it to be so close ... it was right there in front of us all ...
and we were meant to create from that point on ... what was always meant to be ...

a celebration indeed ...

a celebration like no other ...

oh how i too want this world ...

imagine ...

imagine with heart ...

[Steven]

Dear Futureyes... I had the same dream!

I have The dream and it simply keeps growing like a drum calling my soul into the rhythm of Earth's beat. It will happen. I am sure we are countless to have this dream. I know this dream dwells deep into every single human on Earth. Creation's own thoughts are in this dream dear. We are all one.

I see the LIGHT in you, Steven, Je vois la LUMIERE en toi

We are all one.

i wonder if we are dreaming it on the same nights ...


every day ... i feel it more and more ... through all energy ... our connectedness ... to each other ... to all creatures ... to all plants ...
to all that is ...

time ... seems to be imploding ... and the world ... feels to be getting smaller ...
the belief of separation ... fading into nothingness ...

making way ... for something very different ... very powerful ...
our existance ... not through fear ...
but through love ... through heart central ...

that's cool ... very cool ...

and it will only get sweeter ...

I dream this dream since my childhood. At first, I thought it was normal, that everyone had this dream. Then, I realized I was "A dreamer". Then, I tried to bury it deep into my soul to avoid being "different". Then, I realized it was a gift. Then, I realized everyone has this dream and simply get in touch with it in different manners at different time, but it is there, in all souls. Today, I know it is prophetic. It is where Creation wants us to go. It is the direction we are called to. It is the focus on what we are all born to manifest. That is the reason we are here. To make this dream come true...

It will come to be true, Steven

Beautiful posts and I am reminded of The Great Gathering. My comment is with respect to the famous "I think therefore I am."

We ARE, whether we are thinking or not. Pause your thoughts for a moment and see. Are you still there?

You don't need thought to know that you exist. You are beyond thought; you are aware of thoughts, not the other way around.

[always]

The only proof of existence is being it.

[Kulapops]

Nice dreams future eyes.

I wouldn't mind going to that school !

Always...very perceptive post I think. (I think?... get me.. lol) Yes, I agree, when the thinking stops, we still exist...

So what's that all about ?! lol

we are Human Beings after all, not Human Thinkings

Though somedays it's easier to be one than the other...

So maybe we can change the title of the thread Illuminate to....

I'm not thinking,... I'm not thinking.. I'm NOT THINKING. I am.


Anyone heard of Iams ? See, the cats have it figured out first as usual.





Love you

Thank you Always, for bringing this up...
gosh I wasn't even thinking of it like that.

when I wrote the title to this thread, I did so, wanting to peek curiosity and
have people come in and look. I really don't know much about Descartes at
all and I know without a doubt that we don't need thought to exist.

I was simply wanting to remind others that we are creators and one way we
create is with thought... that's what I meant by the title.
I guess I should have said something like "I think - therefore - I create"

this is my first forum experience ever.
I am finding it difficult at times to express myself through typing.
I already feel limited in my own language let alone trying to convey my
thoughts and emotions through the typing of posts. I realize I need to be
more specific and direct, even with my humor.
I recently wrote "who are Bill and Kerry" on another thread that I thought
was getting unnecessarily heavy and I just wanted to lighten it up a bit...
I thought my comment was funny. but sure enough it was taken literal
which just points out my need to be less obscure in my posting.

I started this thread because I want us to be aware and personally
responsible of our creations and our thoughts. it was to be about
imagination and creation and the power we have to do so.

if you don't mind, let me try again with a new title...

PROcreate

of all the billions of people who populate the earth,
 you and you alone are
capable of creating something unique.


whether it’s the ultimate vibrator, a flushable toilet,
 a lifetime of exquisite
paintings or a child;
YOU are the only one who carries the blueprints.

I figure that all the lies surrounding the creative process
 have persisted
because we've become basically a doubting, disbelieving breed.
 we have to
make up whatever thoughts we can to keep us from 
doing the work of our
dreams, and so the myth persists.

I’ve spent many of my years encouraging others to express themselves.

I’ve seen people cling to more lies that render them absolutely
powerless 
than I ever thought possible…including myself.


there’s no substitute for flying!

pursuing a dream would mean too much hard work,
too many demanding
hours and less security.
 worst of all, it might mean exposure, and even
more mortifying,
 potential humiliation. yet far more devastating has to be
that withering 
moment at the end of your life when you look up and
realize
 you’ve missed your chance. you settled for mediocrity and will
now 
die alongside all that unrealized potential.

by creating and pursuing our dreams comes the chance to represent
ourselves in the world
 in a way that truly matters.

YOU are the only one who can make your dreams come true.

YOU are the creator.

so please,
dare to dream

dare to be seen

to be heard

and most importantly…

create the reality of your dreams

~ love in you ~

We are the unending stream of Love that pervades the whole of creation .
Therefore we can bring any situation to a higher state of bliss always .
We could'nt imagine peace, oneness and perfection if we did'nt carry it already
in our hearts.
Thank you Illuminate for shining so bright



Love from me
