Thoughts As Real Entities As the Physical Reality

When I think of something, whether it is an abstraction, reflection on my emotions, a memory or a fantasy of my loved one, I cannot say that what I think does not exist. We must instead move to the contrary position and state that all that we think are as real entities for us as the physical reality. And as we form our cultural reality in a mass that contains the interactions of all the minds, though separate, our thoughts are one of the fundamental forces that shape our reality.

In the field of memetics, archeology takes an interesting turn when it comes to values, knowledge and other building blocks that have reached the contemporary reality. The fascinating realm on how humanity has carried pieces of engineering older than the great pyramids like in a vast human chain, our cultural reality, is baffling in complexity. But these pieces of engineering contain the moral truths, the aesthetic ethics, immoralities and all the philosophical and religious heights that are purely representational parts of humanity.

And we owe a lot for this great human chain. Since the beginning of more abstract thoughts than instincts, knowledge has extended the scope of our being. And as they become a part of our composition, there is nothing more valuable possession, than the existential, romantic and scientific understandings collected throughout the ages from the masterminds of design of knowledge to a common person whose moment of eureka has been carried to enhance our own being in the present.

In philosophical reality of our being, the more one understands the different contexts and contrasts in existence, different angles towards one's own existence and existence itself, the scope of his or her existence is extended. Like a cell or a neuron that composes the human body, so do knowledge and our experiences shape their part of what and who we are.

We can comprehend the multidimensional aspects that concern our actions by categorizing them, understanding the motives behind them, giving form to our experiences by words or by understanding the body language. And even though we were watching the same event, the asymmetric interpretations of the events make us see a different reality in what is happening. For a mammoth, seeing a descendant of a dinosaur smoking a cigarette with a colorful wig and fashionable sunglasses on is far different from the cultural context we exist in.

Most importantly, through knowledge we also see the mortality of our existence, being able to determine and adjust the realm of our experience accordingly. Even so that the more value one can give to his or her existence and towards all that exists, the more everything has meaning, though it be transient for oneself or even illusionary for another. This trait of being able to alter qualities of the realm of existence with thought works in both directions. It can create misery as it can create magnificence. So let us use it use it to benefit our existence, as thoughts are as real entities as the physical reality.
