L.E: I'm having difficulty understanding your idea. There is a symbol that

can be used to communicate about real things, But on this site symbols are used

for communicating illusions, and then the symbol turns into a construct which

again, is a symbol used to communicate illusions rather than truth or

reality. Is that it?

So then, as a member uses words to communicate and tries to use symbols of

language and words, these symbols, instead of communicating their ideas,

communicate what appear to you to be illusions and are then constructs but to

the

member, they are symbols that communicate reality except that they are not able

to recognize the difference, but when you write, you do recognize the

difference between symbols used to communicate reality and those that do not,

and your

symbols communicate reality instead of constructs which are symbols used to

communicate illusions. Is that correct?

So the member or person who is writting to you fails to use their symbols to

communicate reality and turn into constructs, and your writing and use of

symbols that you use to write to them are true symbols and not constructs and

represent non-illusions or truth or reality. Is that correct?

If all the above is accurate and correct, then your efforts to communicate

with others on this site must be rather frustrating and futile unless you enjoy

the illusions that others create. Are there other sites or other people you

know whose symbols are truly symbols and not constructs or illusions, or are

you pretty much alone in this effort to relate to others? Do you have a wife

or girlfriend with whom you share a common language that you respect as true

and real?
