Eventually there still might be one or two members who believe or think of the me as an entitity. well whenever i think of you werner.. however infrequently that is.. i think of you only as a nonentity i assure you. > When I used the expression " there seems to be a me " then it is pionting at the undeniable repetitive and constantly returning part of that process which does produce the impression of a stable and fix me. who is " doing " this " pointing " ? > For example the mind needs for any noun the real object which it is pointing at. Like the word tree needs a real tree to get substance. a " real tree " has no substance whatsoever.. anymore than does the " observer " or the " noun " or the " mind " . there is no " example " fitting or applicable to THAT. > That's why it is called a substantive -> (existing independently; real, tangible; substantial; of or pertaining to the essence of something; functioning as a noun (Grammar); expressing existence (Grammar)) nothing seen nor talked about is independently existing. actually none of that stuff exists dependently either. there's nothing to depend upon. > It is that repetitive usage of nouns which gives them more and more substance - not only to objects but also to " me " or " I " . > > And so the " me " SEEMS to BE something real. > > Werner nothing is stated from the first. what 'repetition " ? quit dreaming and this seeming vanishes. ..b b.b.
