frozen thoughts..

hi,

I wonder why I named my blog as frozen thoughts..
Might be the website www.frozenthoughts.com I used to browse stood as an inspiration..
But there's much more.
I want my blog to be the point where I freeze the best of my thoughts before they are drifted in the endless stream.. So this is the museum where I intend to preserve and display a few of my thoughts which I feel valuable.. Let me share with you some of the interesting facts about freezing your thoughts I have come across in an article recently..


Various sources suggest that the average number of thoughts per day is around 12,000 to 50,000. Most of these thoughts tend to be habitual.

Each of these thoughts, at the physical brain level, releases a shower of chemicals. These
chemicals in turn transfer their messages throughout the body. Neuroscientists estimate that the human brain contains 100 billion neurons with each neuron having about 1,000 connections. Each connection on an average fires 200 times per second resulting in 20,000 trillion calculations per second! And all this consumes loads of life energy. If we can reduce the number of thoughts even by a small percentage, it will have a huge bearing on our lives.


Our minds behave as though they have a mind of their own. Now, when our mind gets
carried away and runs out of control, it may seem like an infinite number of thoughts. But if we
write them down, we'll find no more than a few dozen. Our minds rarely churn out as much
'original thought' as we think. Ninetyfive out of the hundred thoughts we have in a day are the
same as those from the previous day. Despite our huge potential for fresh thinking and creativity, our mind mostly repeats. We deepen decade-old ruts minute after minute after minute. For all the variety that exists, the perceptions that run through our minds each day are similar. The memories are similar. The urges, the emotions, the plans - they're all similar. If you
pluck a few minutes of your thoughts from your day, you may easily pluck a minuscule of your
whole life. This is the habitual mind. When we feel tired at the end of the day, it is rarely because of the work we did; we are actually tired because of the countless and
needless revolutions of our mind.


It is truly dangerous for man to live his life not even aware of his own thoughts. When we succeed in reducing the number of thoughts, we will observe a remarkable improvement
in the quality of our thoughts. How? If we reduce the number of thoughts we have, the thought
congestion comes down, and then we will find that we are able to hold every thought a little longer. The longer we can hold on to a thought, the more potent the thought becomes. Every thought has creative power and the longer we hold a thought, the more powerful it becomes. With every thought we send out this essence of ourselves, which then mingles with other essences and creates and re-creates our physical environment. In that sense, our life is not our master but our child. This is why it is so important to develop selfawareness to such depths that no creation can come about in our life without us making the choice.


So, when you resolve not to talk, even though the transition will be challenging, when
you eventually succeed, you will observe that the urge to talk has come down. When the urge to talk comes down, the compulsion to think comes down. When the compulsion to think comes down, the number of thoughts comes down. When the number of thoughts comes down, the quality of thoughts improve. Also, when the number of thoughts comes down, we become more aware of our habitual, stale, repetitive thought patterns. The more we become aware of it, the greater will be our control over our thoughts and that will open newer and more creative possibilities. Above all, withdrawing from sensual compulsions including the compelling need to talk will prepare you for the seat of meditation. When we quieten our mind, we will
begin to perceive the divine oneness that we all participate in. So, I strongly advocate to all of
you to abstain from talking for an hour a day or a day a week … in the parlance of a voice therapist take 'voice rest', and go into this state of restful awareness. The benefits of creating moments of withdrawal from talking will be far greater than anything that you can perceive.

“Speak only if you can improve upon silence.”

novel writing..

hi..

Did you ever think about writing a novel?
I am sure most of you would.. but you will never find enough time to do it.
It needs a lot a dedication and consumes an amount of time which we cannot spare.
Last week I was browsing the net and found an interesting site.
It's called NaNoWriMo.org..
Here, all those people with a dream (not ambition :-) ) to write a novel will come together and write their own novel in a month.
In one MONTH!! believe me..
You can be a novelist in your own way.
You don't need to pull out something big.. Nobody cares..
Just let your imagination take a hold..
The site has all the resources that will help you complete a 50,000 word novel in one month.
Remember, this is not for those who take novel writing very seriously.
Just make some fun out of it.
The novel writing month is november. .
Turn yourself into a J.K.Rowling and start writing..
