Good morning, artist Marsha: > Every philosophy, science, religion, telling of a golf game and > justification is a mental construction. Names, definitions, > descriptions and memories are mental constructs, analogy all > the way down.
mel: Yes and no Marsha: > That is humanity's conventional world. Ultimately the > Universe is uncaused, like a net of jewels in which each is a > reflection of all the others in a fantastic, interrelated harmony > without end. mel: ...and yet the harmony arises in the conflict of patterns to create what never was before. Marshe: > If I get hit by a falling brick, you might ask 'Is the brick > real?' I would answer, 'It is conventionally real, but ultimately it > is experience.' mel: It's just another brick in the wall to the singer of Roger Water's song, mental construct though the wall may be. But, it could be a brick in the arch above the gate that lets you through. Being more of an arch man, my(nonexistent)self, it seems there is no experience without the brick, no brick without the kiln, no kiln without the brickmaker and the beautiful earthen goop someone named clay. No arch without brick, no arch without architect. No experience without two patterns in collision, harmonious though it may be. The illusion is of one; the separation of all and that the experiance is ever without what passes behind the 'named' conventionally real. Oh, what pretzellation this illusion makes. Happy MLKday thanks for letting me play with your word-toys thanks--mel Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
