As indivduals persons, the conventional mind only sees interpretations of Ultimate Reality. |

A man walking through a field at dusk comes across a coil of speckled rope in the grass and, mistaking it for a snake, develops fear. Even though a snake appears vividly to his mind, that snake does not exist from its own side. It is merely a projection of his mind, imputed by conceptual thought in dependence upon the rope. Other than this, no snake can be found because neither the coil of rope as a whole nor any part of it is a snake. |

Thanks for the sharing... |

From what I gather you seem to be arguing that we cannot directly experience the world around us (or 'reality' if you want to call it that.) |
|
For those of you who think that we are currently unable to experiance 'reality', how would any entity gain this ability? |
|
Isn't heightened perception achieveable without losing the self? |
|
That isn't possible unless you're dead. You cannot become a nonentity. Nor can you just stop thinking about the tangible reality around you and suddenly be tuned into some form of higher existence. |

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." George Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
No you cant just "stop thinking about the tangible reality around you and suddenly be tuned into some form of higher existence." or all parts of us would be dooing just that. It takes intention, patience and asking your self for guidence. Talking about it is one thing. Experianceing it is another. This body that "I" experiance right now has been there as has others. Meditation is the key. Go on a jurney in to self and experiance everybody else. Dont take this bodys word for it. You do not belive in any of this and that is ok. Just do not "NOT belive" anything as that will close your mind. Just BE aware of all parts of you and realize all parts of you and know that there is no reason to push away or reject any of it. |

Some Buddists would probably disagree. It is possible to eliminate thought about tangible reality. Buddists call this nirvana. Most westerners are more familiar with 'persistent vegetative state/coma.' |

The only real 'truths' are paradoxes... |

Reality is the base state. From the base state, we can draw our own perceptions. From our perceptions, we can form our own Ultimate Reality. |
