Hi Toombaru, thanks for your explanation, but still, sorry if I insist. I do not understand to what you are referring when you mention " conceptual objects " , especially since you deny the existence of separate objects in general.

Hi Toombaru, you write: " I don't know how else to say it " . Maybe, would you have known if you only had tried? I have no problem with your scribbling, I think for most here this is pretty common stuff. But in the light of my question, with all due respect, this looks like an attempt to avoid the issue. I have the impression you enjoy to juggle with phrases and ideas which you have catched here and there and you hope their grandiosity will give the emptiness some meaning. Gosh, you even refer to " the sages " as if they where some authorities that can safe our butt! As I see it, all this small talk serves to keep our minds busy and entertained. Plus it gives us this extra bonus of ego inflating pseudo spiritual grandiosity and cleverness. Now let me explain why I was asking my questions. It had evoked my curiosity when you talked about " conceptual objects " . I was wondering why you are assuming the existence of objects and not just go away with conceptualization itself. Your phrasing sounded odd to me and I felt it could be worthwhile to dig deeper. I guess for an average intelligent mind it is not very difficult to understand that everything perceived is conceptual. The interesting part comes thereafter. If you are content with those beautiful glimpses you mentioned, be blessed! But stop to impose them on others. There has been a time when the question about " objects or not " was almost a question of life and death for me. It may be so for others as well. I hope I did not sound too disrespectful, I often like your way of phrasing things, even when I disagree. But if you would like an earnest discussion, my question still stands.

Hi Toombaru, thanks for the clarification, but I strongly disagree with the " objectivity " that you try to maintain. To me it looks as if you have found out about the conceptual nature (or no-nature) of the world and now you endlessly repeat the various verbal implications of your finding without taking the consequences. You stick to the holy idea of cause and result introducing the " mind " as the cause of " conceptual objects " (and calling the mind its own creation does not change a iota). Sorry, I am not a believer of such crap.

Sorry, I am afraid I cannot follow, what do you mean by " them " ? Concepts? It would be helpful if you could be more specific. My standpoint is: if there is something that I *never* can see (nor realize its effect) it is not worth to construct a world view around it (as you do) I do not think that it exists But whenever it comes into existence It will be seen In my view there is nothing mystical or hidden everything is there, right in front of me This I call reality I know of nothing else Why construct a counterpart?

Toombaru, I do not know what " the illusory self " is. Considering that everything is conceptual it makes absolutely no sense to make a distinction between " illusory " and " real " . Since it is all - as it is - the same The situation would be different if one knows the " real " as opposed to the conceptual but in this case I suppose there would be only the real because the illusion is unveiled The situation would be the same Hence I go on asking What is reality for you? I know of no self which is confused or tries to escape because every moment comes as it comes a presentation of what is including " me " itself Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'it' does not fall into any category, and most certainly cannot be evaluated nor judged and thereafter referred to as conditioned by some flighty emotion. this is not the comment of an individual who has seen through anything. really the entire dramatic composition above is just a silly little love song. sent to and sent from the author. ..b bobji baba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That which can be measured is real. Jan Cox says if you can put it on a table.....it is real. When the mind mixes the substantial world with its conceptual world.....life gets confusing enough where some seek escape. They call themselves 'seekers'. > Since it is all - as it is - the same.

" Reality " is a concept that the illusory self imagines exists outside of...and encompasses..... its narrow world model. To ask what reality is to a personal self in a meaningless question. Its only reality could be a self-referential accumulation of memories. toombaru > > I know of no self which is confused > or tries to escape > because every moment > comes as it comes > a presentation of what is > including " me " itself > > Stefan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
