The human mind has been given too much importance throughout human civilization. It definitely helped us in creating this wonderful world but now the mind has overtaken us resulting in the very decline of human civilization. The original ideas, authenticity lies beyond the mind into a dimension of 'thoughtlessness' or no-thought space. We forgot that mind is a device, an instrument that has to be used when needed. The ideas that mind produces are a recycled version of all the data stored in it. So the ideas coming out of mind can never be original or authentic. Most scientists, inventors, and writers created from this no-thought space. It's of utmost importance to learn that all our beliefs are nothing but a thought cemented in our head. This very belief, a thought, has led to fundamentalism, fanaticism, fascism, racism and all other ills. The shocking thing is we humans never realized that it's just a thought. Today, we will have to move away from thought to realize our true self and our true potential and to tap into the dimension of infinite imagination.
