L.E: Please remember that the external world is percieved by and in the

mind,

your mind, the mind. Your experience of a bear, a real bear, is also, in

your mind, internal to the existence of the real bear that is alive and

external

to your human organism. So you had better be able to distinguish what is in

your mind that is only in your mind, and what is in your mind because a big,

angry, hungry bear is about to sink his, its, teeth into your face.

Thanks, Larry. I shall attempt to distinguish between the two.

Hey, is that why the bite marks from the neighbor's illusory dog stay on my

leg for so long? Is that little bugger real?!

L.E: You'ver already said the neighbor's dog is illusory. So you have

answered your own unasked question. You better know the real bear when he bites

your butt and tears your head off. Try to talk then.
