Director Roger Nygard traveled the world asking theologians, scientists, skeptics, and everyday people 85 tough questions to try to understand The Nature of Existence! Now that he’s asked the experts, it’s YOUR TURN! To offer your own insights on today’s question, “Is thought the same as deed?“, Leave a Reply below!
No.
Also, using thought to predict deed is seriously problematic. This is why (in most developed nations) police cannot arrest someone for a crime not yet committed. Accurately knowing a person’s thoughts is itself a near-impossible undertaking, even for a trained “expert.”
.good thoughts-a good place to start, but without good action, we have unfulfilled intention. right thinking hopefully leads to right acts.
No. I can think about going to the grocery store to buy cat food, but unless I go do it, my cat will go hungry.
For Gods, it is the same. Because they think ‘so be it’ and it becomes a reality. For us, we would become angels if we could be honest with our thought, speech and deed. In reality, we are all diplomats and politicians.
No.
If thought is THE SAME as deed, then if I think of a fuzzy navy blue hexagonal box with gold handles and fill it with turpentine and put it into my hand, then one must necessarily appear in my hand as a result. Since this sort of thing never happens and we all discover for ourselves quite early on that wishing for things simply doesn’t work, I should say of course not.
And, well, DUH!
Deed follows thought (action from thought). However, thoughts do not always create deed, or action. Thought can be a consideration that either releases and therefore forgives or allows acting out, which in turn will create another thought which will also be either released or acted (judged) upon. This is the pathway of most of our thought systems and where we all unfortunately end up losing our way to peace and enlightenment!
Any who would seek to convict their fellow man for thought crimes is fiendish indeed.
My thoughts are free!
that question is so obvious (no) it is barely worth answering
