When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every suggested idea produces a corresponding physical reaction. Every idea constantly repeated ends by being engraved upon the brain, provoking the act which corresponds to that idea.
Ideas emerge when a part of the real or imagined world is studied for its own sake.
To say it another way, thinking, however abstract, originates in an embodied subjectivity, at once overdetermined and permeable to contingent events.
When our minds as people normally starts to wrap around things, we start to attach all these ideas to it that really aren't that necessary to the core of it, if you just experience it and kind of go through it.
Fundamental ideas are not a consequence of experience, but a result of the particular constitution and activity of the mind, which is independent of all experience in its origin, though constantly combined with experience in its exercise.
I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment.
Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.
That neither our thoughts, nor passions, nor ideas formed by the imagination, exist without the mind, is what every body will allow.
Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
