I want to know if the brain generates the ideas itself by thinking or if it is ultimately linked to the ideas in that field of spoken and discussed ideas. Because the spoken words and statements makes a cloud in the universe, to which we are linked, is full of ideas to which we pay deep attention. The work of brain is confined to just making the deep concentration, but is it so that brain generates the idea itself?
You should look at the work of Ervin Laslo, Dean Radin and Rupert Sheldrake. They are all working with these theories.
Personally, I think not either. You should take a deep look into Francisco Varela's cognitive position, including his own school, called "Neurophenomenology". There is a book called "El fenómeno de la vida" (Santiago de Chile, Dolmen, 2001), which collects general essays, as a overview of his life's work. I'm afraid that it's only in Spanish. However, maybe you can read some review (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1023%2FA%3A1020332523809 ), or look up titles in your language. Evan Thompson, Varela's collaborator who is still working and publishing, is author of "Mind in life" (2010) which is in Harvard University Press (http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674057517 ). Greetings.
"(T)he spoken words and statements make a cloud in the universe, to which we are linked." I would rank this notion right up there with "ancient aliens made the pyramids of Egypt, the Americas, Atlantis," "people are abducted by aliens for medical experiments," vampires, zombies, ghosts, telekinesis, etc. are real. Sorry. Clouds have rain in them, not words.
Calling these notions "theories" does a disservice to valid, viable theories worthy of inquiry. There ought to be a word other than theory that can be applied to the "study" of reality/mystery/unexplained type TV show topics. Perhaps "nonsensationalist." Note the clever combination of nonsense with sensationalist. Perfect.
