When does it see itself? In the past? In the future? Is it visible now, or only as a thought? The thought is seeing itself, sure enough. The thought is not a tree.

The mental picture is/was his face, sure enough. There is no continuously-existing tree, though. For whatever reason, he's giving continuity to the discontinuous.

Not really. That's just a convenient way to consolidate concepts, by making one concept be the source of all the other concepts. In truth, there isn't any such source. Concepts arise inter-co-dependently and inter-co-determining. > OK, the thought is also your face. > > But I don't see why you mentioned " the tree outside my window " , as though referring to something 'tangible', rather than imaginary. The idea that you can differentiate the imaginary from the real, is imaginary. > You might as well say " dflakjsdfoiewur023984432 " is my face. Not really. There is a context for word usage. That context involves previous word usage. > Next time say that, so it's clearer what you're getting at ;-). I'm being extremely clear. That is why no one knows what I'm talking about.

When the words are being typed " the tree outside my window is my face, " where is the tree outside my window? Behind " me " ? To the left of " me? " To the right of " me? " Do tell.

It is all that can be done - and it is being done. But this seeing is not from within consciousness, from withing the program. Geo - I know what you're trying to suggest, I've tried suggesting such things many times. Yet I know how limited the viability of these suggestions are. All the commentary about a program is coming from what you're calling the program - which isn't really a program at all. It's equally true for my words too, if I speak of awareness and related topics. I can't tell you whether to consider language true or false, real or imaginary - because using those labels is just language trying to comment about itself on its own terms - which is invalid. Same thing when thought tries to know thought by using thought, or self tries to know self, or Self tries to know Self, or person tries to know person or people. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the entire notion of using programmed language to comment about the programmed consciousness is equally absurd. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're confusing that there's something real being represented by something unreal. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
