Re: The origin of ideas

["Daniel Gutmanas" <noxerus@...>]

Dear Basim,

Perhaps the answer to this question lies in the mental law of "like 
attracts like"; the mental body of each person is attuned to 
different "idea realms", thus receiving the thoughts which are 
similar to the thoughts he already has, to a certain extent. 
An "evil" person will not get thoughts regarding volunteering in a 
homeless shelter, a hardcore materialist scientist will not get 
thoughts about the afterlife, etc.
I believe that perhaps when a person honestly decides to change 
himself, he is manually "steering" his mental body towards more 
beneficial and good ideas and thoughts, instead of being attracted 
only towards the lower thoughts from earlier on.

These are my thoughts on the subject, in any case :)

Sincerely,
Daniel Gutmanas
