      The thinker of thought?

      Is there even a "thinker" of thought? If thoughts are simply patterns in the brain's firing, then isn't the thinker simply that: a bunch of neurons?

      I'm not sure I get what you're suggesting / getting at O_o

      No matter how deep I go, there always seems to be 'something' there..

      Why stop at the label or answer "brain", "firing", or "neurons"?

      Those are just ideas and explanations of an epiphenomenon which can't be labeled or answered.

      That's why I say stay with the question. Hold it.

      Answers are cheap. A dime a dozen. None of them gets it "right"

      Quarks... Electrons... Atoms... Molecules... Neurons... Synapses... Brain... Human...

      All ideas trying their damnedest to be the "One"

      Unaware that the absence creates the presence.

      The Absence is the awareness which allows you to perceive and create the ideas of presence.

      Do you catch my meaning? Can you hold it?

      Hopefully so.

      nope...

      epiphenomenon? How so?

      Also, why first claim that certain ideas are trying to be 'the one', none of them getting it 'right', only to state another idea yourself.. How, would you say, then, do you know that this version of looking at things, this idea is somehow better, how this one gets it more 'right'?

      Furthermore, how do you conclude that certain things are somehow epiphenomena of this idea, in stead of it being the other way around? Why isn't it possible that the quarks, electrons, brains, etc. are the things that allows presence to form from absence?

      In that sense, no, I do not get your frift entirely...

      Also: still don't know what you mean with 'hold it'

      Nice touch, the empty headed "uncaused cause." Nothing like starting the day off with an oxymoron.

      And, since every environmental acquisition system of a living organism has the same definition, from the judgmental system to the digestive system, you want to tell people that they get fat from what they dont eat, just the same as those who starve. Hellio?

      Wow, the mystic banquet of empty plates.

      There is only one important truth with this doctrine, Egocentricity starts with the self-referential fallacy.
