If the inner and outer spaces are actually 'one', then, the entire universe is one very large (infinite) mind. And contrary to the usual assumptions, 'we' do not imagine the universe; it imagines us. To understand this is to understand the cosmology of space. ==GP== P: Excellent! The One, perceives itself as space. and feels this perception as mind. There could not be perception of space without positing a virtual duality of 'others' as points in space. A complete empty space would be undetectable. So virtual duality is needed for perception of space, movement and time. When in realization space, form, and mind become one, infinity and relativity, also become one. Then, there is no inside, or outside. E unum pluribus, e pluribus unum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E unum pluribus, e pluribus unum. > re " virtual duality " (I love the term), is there any other kind? re Dogen on space... when space becomes conscious... realizes as a point everywhere at once. and that Point is not just " sitting there " in some kind of numb absoluteness... it is *alive*... it is dynamic Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
