The person is a very small thing

The person is a very small thing. Actually

it is a composite, it cannot be said to exist

by itself. Unperceived, it is just not there.

It is but the shadow of the mind, the sum total

of memories. Pure being is reflected in the

mirror of the mind, as knowing. What is known

takes the shape of a person, based on memory

and habit. It is but a shadow, or a projection

of the knower onto the screen of the mind.
