Seen here, there's really no point debating "truth" and "falsehood" on the level of causality. Truth/falsehood is a duality, that can't be denied. Advaita does not seek to destroy the notion of duality, but to reconcile or "transcend" duality. > It is not psoosible to label it, but conversing and knowing the > limitations of words or symbols in general, it is possible to > perhaps touch the same ground. Well, what ground are you seeking to touch -- to affirm the "reality" of causation? i don't concur, but admit that there is an appearance of causation viewed through a lens of time. However, that appearance "depends" entirely on time, which in turn "depends" on memory and thought. Namaste, Omkara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No debate. From here is more like two lines in this adimensional space joyfully drawing colorful drawings. So... if one pictures truth as a kind of living *quality*, then either all is truth or there is no truth at all. I agree there is no way to define truth in the level of manifested causality.

Non-dual perception doesn`t entail not contemplating the plurality of manifestation. The former means no separate observer-perceiver-consciousness, and the later is the obvious multiplicity of the world.

Without memory there wouldn`t be time and both depend on thought. How intriguing. But we can say that *memory* being a possibility as manifestation, it is real. Without this universal memory there wouldn`t be manifestation, humanity, life. In the realm of humanity I see two main levels of being: one centered in that imagined inner entity and the other not so. But it seems from here that both can only exist within the world of causality. In fact I don`t think that duality is based upon the contrasting causal - noncausal aspects of the world, but upon the projection of a separate observer from observed. It is possible to contemplate both causal - noncausal aspects from a non-dual non-centered point of view. Namaste,Omkar -geo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
