A Consider Able Speck

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about thoughts. More specifically, I’ve been seeing posts about how one can never escape their thoughts.

Thoughts are powerful things. They can build, inspire, encourage…

They can also break you.

BUT.

Thoughts, at their very core, originate from you. You are their Creator and Sustainer.
And if able enough, their Destroyer.

Thoughts (just like everything else in this universe), once created, aren’t so easily destroyed (at least, Idon’t find them easy to destroy). But they are always mutable.
At your hands against any inescapable, hurtful thoughts are the tools of the mind and the powers of the heart. Imagination, logic, faith, courage, love—if you can find it within yourself, then it is within your grasp.

Think about it.

The beliefs in my heart and the thoughts in my head…amongst other things, I am here to connect a line between the two.

What is love? Tough question. So, an easier question: what are the physical aspects of love?

When you love someone or something, your brain uses a portion of the energy available to your body to (at the very least) remember it. Of the billions of bits of information available to be learned and remembered, nerve cells are set aside and energy consumed as your brain sets up a neural pattern that will recognize the one you love, and incorporates your love of this person into your physical being.

Having your neural network slowly altered, your thought patterns will flow along these new neural pathways (just as they do with all the other neural pathways). As a result, some thoughts will dwell on the one you love. More energy and time is spent focusing on your loved one; in a sense, you have given a small bit of your life in reverence to the one you love.

Thinking often begets action, and always colors it. Loving someone thus affects the energy used by your entire physical being (which furthermore affects your life). Because your actions are affected, your immediate surroundings are affected as well. As everything ultimately affects everything else (even if it is solely through increasing the entropy in the universe), your love will nudge the balance of the universe.

All this, just because you love someone.

So, what is the physical aspect of love? It is burning energy to reinforce a relationship to something outside of your physical being. It is incorporating that of another into yourself, and projecting that back outward from yourself.
