Classification's blind alley

[Guest guest]

Classification, analysis, induction, deduction, these are the tools by which the mind tries to conquer the unknown, and it works rather well in everyday life, but it's useless in spirituals pursues.

 

If we agree that behind appearances lies either a nothingness or an indivisible whole, what could be the use of classification? Classifying the appearances of that, is like carving an illusory pizza with a phantom knife and then labeling the imaginary slices

objects, subjective states, etc. Any knowledge derived from analyzing, and

deducing relationships between imaginary slices of an indivisible whole had to be also imaginary.

 

Surprisingly, very intelligent people get caught in this game and never see its futility.

 

Best wishes,
