To Anyone Who Cares,
After much reflection and a good round of my thrice-weekly,
regularly-scheduled 18-hole kinhin I've decided to quit using the term
'illusion'. It is the term I was personally taught and have seen
written in countless books on zen and that I myself have used for over
40 years, but it seems to conjure up some kind of bad mojo for most of
you. I get the feeling that you think if your are creating 'illusions'
that you're doing something wrong or bad, and that's is definitely not
what I want to project.
So...I'm now going to use the term 'model' or 'logical model' or maybe
'rational model' (I haven't decided which yet). I'm looking for
something that will more palatable to the majority here that seem to
have a bad reaction to the term 'illusion'.
But the meaning I intend to communicate will still be the same...Bill!
