Ideas are psychological point of views in some context. Ideas represent possibilities in reality or imaginations. Due to their creative imagination, humans are capable of understanding greater and lesser contexts, think for themselves and come up with ideas.

Ideas are not tricks or hacks, but tricks and hacks can arise from the idea of making life easy or difficult. Institutions, systems, structures, processes, cultures constituting the society are based on some ideas with some motives.

Ideas constitute philosophy. For example, philosophy of stoicism is based on ideas of minimalism, courage, justice, virtue. Philosophy of Taoism is based on natural richness, balance & equilibrium, being like water etc.. Philosophy of Islam is based on idea of surrender to sublime peace. Philosophy of Buddhism is based on ideas of impermanence, no-self, emptiness, conditional arising, collective karma, end of suffering etc.

Ideas can be universal or narrow, good or bad, right or wrong, true or false, real or unreal, advantageous or disadvantageous etc. Some ideas can be materialized to represent reality, for example scientific ideas. Some ideas are false and do not represent reality, for example idea of independent eternal spirit or self and supreme creator.

True ideas can be materialized, proven, validated, verified, demonstrated, applied or at least known personally. Some ideas can be invented and turned into reality in form of technology, for example, ideas of currency representing valuables or idea of artificial wings in order to fly. Ideas can get misused due to wrong motives and methods behind their implementation.

Under the umbrella of ideas, thoughts and philosophies manifest the principles, policies, institutions, laws, rules, regulations, strategies, forms, practices, culture, customs, etc. For example, idea of right to privacy implemented through policies like HIPAA and upheld through laws and judiciary. This gives rise to a culture based on respecting others privacy. Thoughts and Ideas lie at the root of the human world.

Ideas that you behold knowingly or unknowingly affect your attitude, your mindset, your actions and the effect of your actions. Narrow rigid ideas bring mental slavery. Universal ideas broaden mind whereas freedom from all kinds of ideas bring psychological maturity.

Ideally, ideas should be universally true or real, manifestable, applicable, demonstrable, beneficial, evident or at least a personal experience, knowledge and understanding. Blind belief and faith in ideas can mislead you. Ideas should be livable rather than believable.

Beliefs in wrong ideas can manifest knowingly or unknowingly in form or wrong attitudes, mindsets, actions, forms, practices, cultures, customs etc. Early life beliefs can have hypnotic effect on individuals making them psychologically immature and credulous.

It is also necessary to understand which ideas are important for reaching objectives, meeting goals and nurturing values. Objectives are motives, intensions or reasons behind goals. Ideally, objective answers the question why and objectives should be ethical or noble.

Goals, representing needs and desires, should be SMART, i.e. specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound. Value system represents what is of value or importance and in what order or priority.

When you know what to value, you will know which ideas and their manifestations are important and in which order of priority. For example, for some the idea of life is more valuable than the idea of freedom and justice; but for some, the idea of freedom and justice are more valuable than the idea of life. Hence some societies will invest more in life science and healthcare while some will invest more in law, order and judiciary.

To know and understand manifestation of ideas correctly in the right context, it is necessary to have a seamless clarity of detached awareness, the phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context as it is without associating or identifying with known or unknown.

Without associating or identifying with known and unknown, you are detached, self-aware without the Self and you can understand ideas more impersonally in greater or smaller context.

Based on right thoughts, ideas and philosophies, the long haul of life and actions can mature in the right direction and get fulfilled meaningfully. Matured and meaningfully fulfilled life can outgrow to bloom into healthy detachment.

How to Manifest Ideas

For anything to manifest you need right cause and conditions. For example, to manifest full moon in water, there has to be night, clear calm water and full moon in the sky.

To manifest idea dear to your heart, define it clearly and write it down or symbolize it. Writing down or symbolizing the idea realizes it in form of a seed and defining the idea can bring clarity to your understanding of the idea.

Think and understand why you want the idea to manifest. Create list of goals and objectives that will create conditions for the idea to manifest. When there are right conditions, that means the manifestation is in alignment with the greater scheme of life.

When the conditions are right you can do what is happening and manifest the idea through actionless action or by acting without striving.

Do not get attached to the manifestation of ideas because nothing stays forever and everything is subject to change and impermanence.
