THE TOASTERS' CONFESSIONS



"Things are thoughts" is the title of a Prentice Muldorf's book, he's been a writer and one of the founders of the Science of mind in '800, but why things are thoughts? because no thing has ever existed if not imagined at first. Everything round about us, beyond its physical appearance, in the beginning was just imagination, therefore it's a materialized thought. Hence everything is connected by the substance that constitutes every thing: thought.
Simone Rebaudengo,interaction designer, has scientifically shown that things have a 'soul' and he did it using toasters, setting them to communicate their emotions of satisfaction or of dissatisfaction about how they were utilised by their hosting families. So he has proved in concrete that we can affect the external world and that the external world is not separated from us, intead it perceives us and in consequence it responds to us, appliances included, but do we recognize it? Our attitude towards the world defines the experiences that we live and it obviously includes also the 'response' of the objects round about us, nothing can be outside of the quantic field in which we are immersed and even if we cannot see it with physical sight, thoughts are substance. As Simone has shown, toasters asked to be employed and they showed their happiness or unhappiness about the kind of treatment they received, and in case they asked through a message via twitter to be placed in another family. I find that this also shows us how every object maintains in itself the thought of its inventor, and that the item wants to do the job for which it's been conceived because all that permeates the visible and the invisible is an intelligent matter, and we can observe it by looking at Simone's experiments. That pushes us to ask ourselves how much we are aware that objects are not 'only' things, then our relationship towards them will change in consequence. To what conclusion can this bring us? To have more respect for the 'things' as symbols of ideas, to consider them our own extension and being more sensitive to what we emanate emotionally. 

And more, if thoughts are 'things' hence their nature will materialize, therefore thoughts which have nature of sickness, misfortune, disgrace, hate, rage, disaster and every other negative nature will materialize in the future as facts of that nature regarding health, finances, relationships, study, job, home, for ourselves and for the world, so why feeding on them and not turning ourselves to feed our mind with thoughts which will bring love, peace, health, abundance, happiness, joy, cooperation, collaboration,  brotherhood, and any other good we can desire? The choice is up to us, we choose our mental diet.
