Marshasaid:
Reification describes how the mind functions. It has its usefulness, but to
deeply understand the process is to have a new value perspective.
I am not against reification; it is the way the mind works. I am for keeping
primary in the mind that while it is convenient to analyze and manipulate
conceptual objects, they are _mere_ conceptually constructed patterns of
ever-changing, interdependent, relative, impermanent value. Ultimately there
are no divisions, everything-is-connected-to-everything.
Ron:
First off how do you "know" that this is how the mind works. When everything is
a projection.
Second if one deeply understands the process and has a new value perspective
havent they
ceased to reify concepts?
Are they not doing this intellectually?
If all thought is a reification then even the thought :
"conceptual objects are _mere_ conceptually constructed patterns of
ever-changing, interdependent, relative, impermanent value. Ultimately there
are no divisions, everything-is-connected-to-everything. "
is a reification.
