It is clear you know a great deal about this.
Is your mind to full to take my meaning, and so instead keep offering
your own? I am not talking about what this is or isn't - I'm only
pointing to the erroneous presumption inherent in thinking/calling it
anything.

Kristopher,
There is a big difference between redefining words and actually
believing big snakes fly through the sky or that Thor brings the rain
rather than natural processes. That should be clear to everyone...
Believing otherwise is delusion, not Zen...

If people, instead of calling them 'clouds' called them 'rainbow
serpents', there would be rainbow serpents in a cloudless sky.
Believe what you will. It is not necessary to convince others that
your dreams are real to you.

Kristopher,
No, that's a misunderstanding. There is a distinction between true
and false beliefs. True beliefs are consistent with the intrinsic
logic of reality, false beliefs are not...
There are no rainbow serpents flying through the air. There are
clouds up there though...
