Only This

[Guest guest]

" There is only This, " " The Paradox of One, " and " NoOne " are

ideations, mental playthings born of assuming assumptions. Expose the

assumption, the assuming, the process, and there is no thing there to

speak of... and then the circle can be seen, known, understood and

participated in as life in fullness as it goes, in freedom, aware. If

these ideations tickle and are used to go on they are harmless.

Otherwise, to push them, to promote them, to sell them -- one can do

the math.....and the math has been done repeatedly......and sums to

what it is in the worlds we imagine.

 

The circle can be seen.......There is no reason to hide it in one part

of the circle by saying and leading one to see " There is only This. "

 

Expose how it is created, what it is, and what it does......

My problem with this is that it is out of context.

To say that saying, " There is only This " *in general*

entails ideations/mental playthings born of assumptions

etc. is simply false. It is the fallacy of looking that

the words someone uses and inferring from that what is

going on " in their head " such that those words are

produced. That, in my view, is the most common form of

stupidity that is seen on lists such as this.

to push to promote, to sell anything whatsover is

nonsense, so what's the point here?

what circle?

if there is some " circle " being seen then there

is a lot of not-seeing going on...
