Guest guest Posted September 24, 1999 Report Share Posted September 24, 1999 Are you only one man? ivan:I definitly only know one man in its entirety. But i look around and see, and know that there are other people around for sure. How many man do you know from inside out, in contraposition to outside in? But let's not be smart. There is a mistery...completly out of the reach of human comprehension, wich is -- how the one entirety fragmented into these non-fragmented fragments. Dan: Here is a mystery: There is a boundary set "within" one man. That boundary defines "my" consciousness apart from others. Boundaries are then questioned. The inner and outer are not divided. The centralized identity "in" that one has ended. So now, where is the boundary that separates the awareness of that one man from the awareness of the "other" man/woman? >From the inside out, how many individuals are you/me? Who is looking out through these eyes? To use affirmative language: there is One looking out through these eyes. That One is looking back through those eyes. How to differentiate "these" from "those"? The conventions of time and place are boundaries made unreal when One sees only One - looking out = looking back. The space between your body and my body is our awareness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
