So here's an interesting thought, only for philosophical chit-chat, of course. What if just as waves are to the flow of the ocean, our thoughts and creations are influenced by a universally shared collective unconscious reservoir of thought and creativity? So when we write, compose, or create, we borrow from this reservoir, rewording or reshaping what we think is our original and unique inspiration, and actually believe it is something brand new? Ultimately, what if all thought and creativity are the property of the universe, and always have been? 🤔
