Hi Ham, > > Discussion requested below. [Ham] "Being" is an intellectual construct of value-sensibility, just as is "Nothingness". Without these precepts we could not recognize ourselves as human beings. Together with Sensibility, they account for our experience of an objective reality. At birth we borrow from Being the organism that is not only our objective identity but the instrument of our proprietary experience. The appearance of everything else follows from this synthesis. Although we view it as a cause-and-effect process in time, existential reality is a negational and transitory mode of Essence that enables its value to be realized by an autonomous, external agent.
[Mark] OK, now I see direction, and possible resolution. My question is directed towards the "we" stated above that "borrows". It is the essence of that "we" that I will bite into. I realize that this requires analogy which is imperfect at best. If you misspoke with that sentence, let me know. Does the "we" that borrows exist in the same way that the concept of Atman does? In Western religion this is termed the soul, but the connotations there are messy at best. As I understand it, such a thing is what is differentiated. The analogies fail me as to how to express it. My intuition tells me that it is beyond the physical, but this makes me sound a bit religious which is something that I do not want to start again. If we deal with this topic philosophically, using abstract concepts (mixed with a little scientific terminology), is there a way to express the how in terms other than negation?
