It seems to me that if the mind makes "one" then there's "one." If the mind makes "two" then there's "two". And when the mind isn't making "one" or "two" or even "zero" ... then what? Doesn't seem particularly mysterious... it's just that we aren't imposing numbers on experience, that's all.
[Ian...]On the other hand, when we need to count, we count. Neither attached to numbers or the absence of numbers. Not trying to hang on to an ultimate view of whether reality is one or fifty one. [Ian...]Does anyone see any problems/limitations with that approach? I see absolutely no problems with this. We can use all the numbers we want, we just need to be sure we're not attached to the numbers or give them any special significance...Bill! ------------------------ Yahoo!
