Thread: Why I am not Trying to Prove Shared Dreaming

The foundation of language: Names are conventional. We do not name the abstraction, because that can never be conventional, we name the source, i.e. reality common to all.

But no, no one in all of creation can give you confidence in reality--that is a psychological function--which again, is not conventional.

When you say Is a grapefuit really a grapefuit, you are only using the same name twice. Aristotle, Plato, and those who work with mental functioning-- is or is not is all we can do, if you cannot do this, it is a mental dysfunction. Plato said you were mentally asleep. Aristotle said you were a veggie. Scripture notes that you are, by definition, dead--what we call brain dead.
