Dear Ravi Sharma:
You wrote: Perhaps you can do experiments to study if anticipating noble (auspicious - also defined as those which are good for all) thoughts has any effect on the actions related to thoughts?
Auspicious is part of intentional. Indeed, anticipation, always expressed in action, is characterized by intentionality. On this subject experiments were already carried out (a bit coarse, since it is not trivial to encode AUSPICIOUS or
for that matter its opposite)…One example: Gedanken experiments—the well known quantum thought experiments—proved to be anticipatory. But we do not know if there is an inherent circularity to such experiments or not. Giving is in the same category. Ontologies
better reflect this observation.
Thank you for the translation from Sanskirt…another language I wish I learned…Yes, I had the intention…
