No Experience: 1 -Somebody talks about the peach fruit given a description of the experience of it after having tasted it. The person also informs where to get peaches. 2- ED is not interested to find real peaches or taste it. 2- ED goes to the wiki to find out what it's said about the peach 3- ED finding the link interesting he copies and paste the link in the zen forum 4- ED gets into discussion with all the information gained about the peach but without never see it for real or tasted.

If you want to engage with him or anyone else in an intellectual discussion you're going to have to employ concepts. I just think having an intellectual discussion about zen is about as useful as investigating quantum mechanics using Tarot cards. In each case you're just not employing the righ tool for the job. ><br>> ED, in my opinion, doesn't DESCRIBE his experiences, he tries to EXPLAIN things - and usually they aren't even HIS explanations, they are someone elses (like a link to some other person's explanation). Most of the time ED does not even indicate if he agrees or disagress with the link to which he's pointing us. > > ...Bill!
