On the Well of Thoughts

We are all worms, But, I do believe, I am a glowworm.

in my Psychology of Creativity class we're exploring a lot of spiritual and psychological experiences.

One of the concepts one of my fellow classmates brought up tonight, is the Well of Thoughts. The idea is that somewhere in our plane of existence is a well and in the well are all of the ideas and thoughts which human beings are able to have. BUT, once one of us has the thought or idea that makes that idea fair game to everyone else.

For example, there was a man who's girlfriends cat hated him, its name was Kashi Moto. When ever this man was in a room the cat would peek its head around the corner and stare at him as if to say, "You're there so I wont be." Every time the man saw the cat he would say " Hello, Moto." The next month the Hello Moto commercial campaign came about. Well of Thoughts.

I've had experiences like this all over the place. Strange coincidences seem to follow me when I leave this class.

For instance:

Last week, my professor had mentioned us learning origami to illustrate our concept of the box and how to think outside of it. This was a very strong idea to me and I wondered what my origami sculpture would have been. Vanessa and I were walking back to the train on our way home and as we walked down the stairs to the subway, laying on the concrete steps were dozens of origami swans.

Not to mention all the fantastic things we discuss in this class, we're all having extreme " ah ha" moments while we share concepts together.

I leave this class thinking about how we should all, as humans, give each other the type of platform to express our spirituality in whatever way the other or ourselves decides is best.

I hope that some day when I'm a teacher I can give my students this platform and allow them to relate to themselves and their fellow classmates in a recognitive way.

We talked about recognizing our fellow humans as spiritual lovable beings. The smile on the train that you think about all the way home.

Tomorrow, tutoring and English ( did I mention I have a 110% in this class?)
