[simplisticmeditation] Concepts & Reality from: Course in Consciousness,

[Lenny Rose]

http://faculty.virginia.edu/consciousness/  Concepts & Reality A concept is a result of conceptualization, which is the process of separating and naming. Conceptualization is a process learned in early childhood.  The infant does not conceptualize because its intellect is undeveloped.  In contrast, the sage has a well-developed intellect and conceptualizes but sees that separation is an illusion. Without conceptualization, there are no objects (e.g., in dreamless sleep, under anesthesia, or in samadhi) because, by definition, objects are always separate from each other. Reality is not a concept.  Rather, It is absence of separation.  Therefore, It is also absence of concepts and objects. Conceptualization appears to fragment Reality (which is also Wholeness) into separate objects so that Reality no longer seems to be whole.  However, Reality remains unchanged by it. Course in Consciousness, Stanley Sobottka http://faculty.virginia.edu/consciousness/ I got this from Pelkyong at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Living_Only_Love/ The inner light can answer any of this world's queries and resolve any of its problems.  Beyond all of these concerns, the inner light will show you who you are and your relationship to all...and bring you an understanding of love and peace that transcends ordinary human thought processes.  Discover what it truly means to "love one another" and to "see peace."
