D: Only if you believe you are divided into an antechamber, a door,

and something beyond the door.

 

P: Even if you believe there are no divisions, and no antechamber,

you are offering only ideas ( and all ideas divide, including ideas

which deny divisions) And no one speaks from outside language,

and language is the antechamber, and the known.

 

D: Otherwise, memory is always occurring *now*

 

P: Yes, but it's still a representation. You can remember

lunch now, but that won't feed you.

 

D: - memory isn't a basis

from which one speaks -- it is merely a conceptual category requiring

an assumption of a division which has never actually occurred.

 

P: Wrong! If you don't remember a word, you can't say it. You'll

be like Bush, " Mmm, ah, Umm.... "

 

 

D: Observed carefully, there is no separation of a memory from an

actual

event occurring. There is only an imaginary line where a " real event "

slips over into memory, from whence the supposed trace of the actual

event can be retrieved.

 

P: Psy-bs!

 

D: Although " mind " is based on this activity,

 

P; Mind is, the activity of the brain.

 

D: and " human knowledge " -- the line isn't really there, so this

apparent

division of a memory and actual event that it represents, has never

taken place.

 

P: Phil-bs!
