Yes, all words are intermediaries - ...Hi Benjamin,<br /><br />Yes, all words are intermediaries - ultimately all concepts are irrelevant and just what IS is the truth. Because what IS can't be grasped, it is put into concepts. The concept of the individual is that which divides the world. The "subject" is a pointer, still a concept, but seeing the actuality of the subject as no-thing at all, we might see through the identification or assertion of the individual as reality and see it for what it is.<br /><br />Only a concept.<br /><br />Then all concepts are free to fall away without that central foundation.<br /><br /><br />love<br />randallRandall Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004296258866577268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102779776758563952.post-24121951590841940932010-10-04T04:11:27.215-04:002010-10-04T04:11:27.215-04:00Hi Randall,
I'm a bit at odd with what you are...Hi Randall,<br />I'm a bit at odd with what you are saying, but perhaps it's just a matter of words. It seems you present the experiencing as dependent on the subject. But if it were so, how could there be self-knowledge? Can the knower know itself if it is naught?<br />As i see it, the subject-object is dependent upon (or the fruit of, daughter of) experiencing. It is then more feasible to understand the experiencing knowing itself as such, an experiencing that has both the attribute of subject and object, and therefore on its own it has the capacity to know and to be known.<br />But that wouldn't be quite accurate either, and perhaps i am misguided by emotion. The idea of "all being a dream" if not figurative, is so unsubstantial. Experiencing, even if i am ignorant of the truth about the experience, is undeniable. That to me feels (is interpreted as) fullness, rather than emptiness. It somehow feels "saner" to view it that way.<br />What do you think/see?benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002905462168798656noreply@blogger.com
