Interesting theories, but then again.. not sure if its exactly BuddhistOriginally posted by concerned_man:All things are the creations of our thougths. Thinking produces a frequency and this frequency is a energy which constantly and instantiously broadcast out into the interspaces of universe. This frequency attracts other energies that is in line with your thoughts and produces concrete substances and images that we can see and touch. It falls back to the science theory that energy cannot be created nor distroyed, but it can change from one state to another.
And all substances are energies, be it in the air, water, rocks, table etc and our thoughts.
We are the creation of our thoughts.
In fact one seminar from US (not a Buddhist community) is adovocating about this.

but at the base of matter, there are 4 permenent abstract element according to Buddha. they are earth, air, water and fire that are not interchangable, ie earth energy can't become water energy per se. true that they cannot be destroy.Originally posted by concerned_man:It falls back to the science theory that energy cannot be created nor distroyed, but it can change from one state to another.

Ahah - you just said what I wanted to say but forgotten!Originally posted by sinweiy:but at the base of matter, there are 4 permenent abstract element according to Buddha. they are earth, air, water and fire that are not interchangable, ie earth energy can't become water energy per se. true that they cannot be destroy.
And mind energy also got their seperated energies from the matter energies.

Hmm yesOriginally posted by sinweiy:might as well...
"'Your question should not be phrased in this way: Where do these four great elements — the earth property, the liquid property, the fire property, and the wind property — cease without remainder? Instead, it should be phrased like this:
Where do water, earth, fire, & wind
have no footing?
Where are long & short,
coarse & fine,
fair & foul,
name & form
brought to an end?
"'And the answer to that is:
Consciousness without feature,1
without end,
luminous all around:
Here water, earth, fire, & wind
have no footing.
Here long & short
coarse & fine
fair & foul
name & form
are all brought to an end.
With the cessation of [the activity of] consciousness
each is here brought to an end.'"
That is what the Blessed One said.
