Ever Have "Pure Thoughts"?

Post Reply New Topic

I have real trouble understanding what is said here, to the point it starts to cause a migraine

Isn't it just a lack of words to describe a feeling? If not, what is the pure thought about?

The thought can be about anything. It's almost like a gesture, an intention and it doesn't include words or even a clear image. Imagine the sensation of striking something. Then remove the words and the image and what is left is that "pure" thought.

I get "whiteout" everyonce in awile

Thanks for these clarifications. I did many attempts, I succeed somehow to circumvent the idea, but when I try to think of it I always have an odd feeling, it's like if I was blinded by a light.

Then I thought maybe I needed something physical to access that, so I stroke a pillow (I'm not violent and I had to remember how it felt) and I replayed the scene trying to highlight the thing out of the surrounding meaning. Impossible! As soon I touched the idea another one came! HaHa I owned the pillow so badly, Poor pillow, Oh I should reshape it now, I'm so awesome at pillow striking, I should try on the bigger one!...

So either I can't have and never had "pure feelings" or I can't just "see" them conscientiously.

Yet I am very disturbed by this idea (I just went to the toilet with my cup trying to make a coffee, classic wtf moment) and I remember the few times in my life when I was disturbed this way I was completely missing the intention of something. So I would be glad to hear some explanation if you have any.

I'm unsure if I ever have pure thoughts. Most of my thoughts, though, for some reason, start with a phrase and turn into a full sentence or paragraph. I'm not sure how that works, but it helps in my poetry.

Hahahaha! Made my day.

"Pure thought" is what extremest, homophobic, religous people call a thought about a member of the opposite sex.

Someone said, wordless understanding, and that sounds close to what I do. I described it as just knowing before. I'm not sure that's a perfect description. It's just thoughts without images or talking to yourself. That's what I'd think is meant by "pure thought". I wonder if everyone does this and I just think it's different from lack of knowing and asking how other people think.

It's possible this is my dominant mode in my head. Or maybe not, I don't know now. I also get wordless images. I also get pictures and some words. I think it also true to say I get vague images, with maybe some words here and there with this sort of "knowing" as the dominant feature.

It can be hard for me to put my thoughts into words and paragraphs. Time consuming and frustrating sometimes. Talking has the potential to feel the same way.
