The origin of ideas

["Basim" <basim326@...>]

I find it rather interesting how one can, in the course of their 
path, reread sections of Bardon's material that they know by heart 
and suddenly notice, as if for the first time, a deeper meaning than 
what they'd previously ascribed to it.

I was rereading the Theory section of IIH, keeping myself fresh and 
looking for new stuff to meditate on, when I noticed that Bardon says 
that human beings aren't the originators of their own thoughts, that 
the spirit acts as a receiver for the transmission of the concepts 
housed within the Akasha. Logically thinking, with the Akasha 
principle in mind, that makes perfect sense - but why is it that some 
people only think of some things and not others? How does this 
explain, say, the mental tendencies and habits of a scientist and a 
mystic, if their thoughts come from the same source?

My guess is simply that people interpret the information in ways that 
they prefer (but then where does "preference" come from?). I'd love 
to hear others' input on this.
