It occurred to me that you would check me on the word "mind".
Then I thought to let it go. (at the least it would stir up some agitation and we don't learn much without agitation) Because I was not using the word in the sense we use it or define it. (In this area, we have created or defined mind according to our own viewpoint, or articulated a hypothesis, which may not be fact either. ) I was using it the way the people in those groups might mean it. Because it is their word. (The Hindi, Sihks, Buddists) Based on my experience, I think they ( at least some) would see or mean mind, consciousness, or existence to roughly mean or be synonymous. Although technically speaking they would be wrong, or others more advanced would consider them wrong. This an on going debate amongst many. And we are all talking through our hats, because we are all still effect of what ever the cause is. If we knew the truth, the truth would set us free, from being effect. And we would not be having this discussion. Not? :) David > From: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 07:36:07 -0700 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [TROM1] a thought about Nirvana > > ************* > The following message is relayed to you by [email protected] > ************ > > On Jul 3, 2012, at 3:02 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > > You mean?: > > > > In other words, or more precise words: > > > > Nirvana is a state of mind or a state of consciousness or a state > > of existence. > > > Let me suggest that you leave out "state of mind".
