The Energy of Thought

All things are created from energy. Man wants to control the form it will be, say yes or no to creativity. There are no limits to a mind set free. A no can stop a possibility, stop the flow of energy completely. Man can prevent its best efficiency, stop production with a selfish decree. Just like steel can be a scalpel or sword, a tree becomes paper or a wood board. We’re wasting resources we can’t afford, energy is not something to be stored. We must free up the energy of thought, minds of the future will see what it brought.

Hi Bill, absolutely love the sonnet, my friend, the thought itself is so creative and so is the write you have put before us. We should have a free exchange of thought. The energy of the mind must ever flow. This is a wonderful write, my friend. A fave. Have a wonderful Saturday. Your friend ..... Mike.

This is so interesting, Bill, is our energy of thought, which seems to be in the fast lane these days, be the final destruction of the planet? I Wonder.

Thoughts to ponder, vistas you conjure.' I may now conjugate..Till very late The state of play, or the play of state.' It's all in the train, or maybe free thought? Perhaps we can, drive a bolt of discernment Into this nihilistic move of non-thought.?

Eventually I think we can, Joe, but it seems to be a dead stop at the present. Thanks for the visit and comments, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Our thoughts have energy ! Therefore we should allow a free flow of our creative thoughts and see what miracle it will bring to life ! Our energy cannot be stagnated. It should be used up for the good of mankind....! Moving thoughts dear friend !

Human thought like atomic energy can be used for the benefit or destruction of God's creations. Very thoughtful Bill. Robert

I agree, Robert. We have no shortages of resources available to man, but our choice of use are often questionable. Thanks for the visit and the comments my friend. Have a great week! Bill

Hummm "all things are created from energy" does that mean that God is energy? But even down in high school class you learn that things sitting still is potential energy, and by extension things that sit still are not getting made, or are not transforming! But then you end it with energy of thought. That is at least food for thought.

For it is written.. Be still and know that I am God..!

Bill Baker
Date: 7/21/2022 8:30:00 AM

In my mind, God is the energy of Creation, so logically God is energy, but I'm not suggesting that everyone see things just as I do. Your thoughts and comments are always welcome my friend. Just something to think about, everyone can draw their own conclusions. :-) Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

I so agree with this, Bill. We seem to be losing so many freedoms. To lose freedom of thought is probably the worst one to lose. Thanks for all your comments today. I got so many POTD comments, all other comments have quickly scrolled away and I do know I got a lot of comments from YOU, so thanks so much

Bill Baker

Mental energy and soul-force are powerful ... The great moral leaders released these dynamos & we still feel their inspiration ( Emerson, Thoreau, Founding Father's & Mother's ( Abigail Adams, even Susan B. Anthony), Gandhi,vDr. King,vMandela, Arch Tutu,bDalai Lama). Shalom, Shalom coach Bill

Bill, I want you to know how much I value the benefit that comes from the insightful words you provide in this beautiful poem. A mind that is liberated has no boundaries, as you so eloquently stated. Your writing conveys a lot of reality, including the idea that a NO may remove a possibility. Blessings dear, friend

I love the message in your poem Bill. Instead of thinking for ourselves we are led by media and other influences. To have an open mind frees us to explore the possibilities. Well written my friend. Blessings xxoo

I haven't thought about it that way but we probably are using our brain's energy and our emotional energy the wrong way. I enjoyed reading your work and thinking about it. Thanks for all your visits. Sara

Another insightful and well-written sonnet, dearest Bill. Energy is God; God is creation; he gave us access to that energy. Yet, for most of my life I didn't figure out quite how to access that magnificent, miraculous force. I didn't understand the power of letting go to access creativity. Thank you for sharing your insights; I appreciate how carefully and beautifully you crafted this piece.
