This is evidenced by the fact most sane humans believe they (and/or their bodies) were once born and will therefore die. Addmittedly this is a mere concept like the "law of gravity" but such concepts do accurately predict events (ie. death). It's difficult, if not impossible, for us to accept we have existed unchangingly from beginningless time because most of our experience is otherwise. Something else might always be unchangingly there but "It" may just be itself -- while we may merely be changing patterns in the passing scenery "It" is throwing up and sweeping away in every moment. I personally enjoy this possibility of being an illusion. My merely apparent existence would be magical and truly free precisely because it didn't ultimately exist. This explanation seems to fit the facts while not denying the existence of inconceivables like Brahman. -Aja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
