Edgar, No it didn't violate my mental model. It seemed to concur. You wrote: "Imagining things is not Zen, it's illusion...".
That seems to imply that 'illusions' (whatever that means to you) is not Zen (whatever that means to you). I know what all this means to me, and what you said FOR ME implies that 'illusions' are not 'zen'. So, what's up? What did you mean?
