The successful Idea travels from mind to mind, claiming new territory, mutating as it goes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Idea enters the brain from the outside. It rearranges the furniture to make it more to its liking. It finds other Ideas already in residence, and picks fights or forms alliances. The alliances build new structures, to defend themselves against intruders.
The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret of outward success.
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Ideas emerge when a part of the real or imagined world is studied for its own sake.
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprang up.
At the start of the process the idea is just a thought - very fragile and exclusive. When the first physical manifestation is created everything changes. It is no longer exclusive, now it involves a lot of people.
A thought is an idea in transit.
Slowly, ideas lead to ideology, lead to policies that lead to actions.
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.
