The Japanese cell biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi who won the Nobel prize for medicine in 2016 in his study of the structure of the atom, carried out a research which revealed that the human body is made up of atoms comprising of three (3) sub-atomic components called neuron, proton and electron. The cosmic system including stardust and black matter is also made of the same sub-atomic substances as the atom in the human cell.
The mind is essentially memory and imagination simulation display, activity or interchange. It can be activated by internal or external universal electromagnetic impulse. So you can think intentionally or impulsively inadvertently. Intentional positive thoughts are positively potent. Intentional negative thoughts are potent in that realm or level and crystallize on the causative or activating source/individual. The impulsive inadvertent thoughts flow from both the simulated information in our memory and imagination lobes and from the external universe. They suddenly alight within us. What really matters is what we do with them as we stay present within our inner space of consciousness.
The human body can be described as a nuclear transmission station/system or vehicle created by the dynamic energy interchange in a continuum within the universal eternal flux which this writer prefers to refer to as the Divine. The body has the capacity for attraction, repulsion, electromagnetic activities in the direction of what we refer to as positive or negative which are mere energy poles within the universe flowing through us all. Everything within the body is good and created for the purpose it serves. Whether we perceive/describe it as positive or negative is usually determined by one’s stance or viewpoint on which we respectively stand, more often judgemental than not. Once we quit judgmentalism, humanity will rise faster on the pathway of enlightenment and pure civilization as we apply less of our memory and imagination from where all judgements proceed.
Inadvertent thoughts may operate like passive wishes and day dreams but are potent when steered by the universal positive energies which are centrally and essentially selfless and altruistic. They are one for all and all for one. Potency here is used in a spiritual/Divine or material/physical sense.
