Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Imagine and expanding sphere and each point of the interior surface a locus of awareness. Each point has a unique perspective of the sphere. This unique perspective, and a selective history of whatever occurred within that cone, soon becomes the identity of that point. Other points on the opposite wall becomes the others. I'm sure you get the drift of the simile. If one of the points realizes it has no separate existence apart from the sphere, that point may be tempted to consider this discovery as the underlying reality, and further it might be tempted to deny the existence of all those other points. It would probably fail to see that his new knowledge is simply an expanded perspective, rather than the sole reality. No perspective no matter how comprehensive ever becomes reality. No perspective is true or false. No perspective ever disappear. It can only be transcended. So the relative never disappears and the absolute viewpoint never becomes the only viewpoint.
