Merle,
The following snippets are from your response to Bill!, but I'm going to employ
license to reply to them myself :)
You: "why are you so adverse to the intellect...?... it is a tool us humans
need to survive"
Me: To "survive" means to live to any point in the future. What is there right
NOW?
You:" we all know that things can get distorted through thoughts."
Me: "Things" and "thoughts" are already "distortions". It is actually just one
thing-thought-thing-thought cycle. Once things, already thoughts; once
thoughts, already things, and
vice-double-reverse-infinity-times-a-zillion-versa.
You:"we experience and then we think actually this process is simultaneous... "
Me: Of course it seems simultaneous, because when we THINK about "when
experience happens", we really are thinking about when our thought of
experience happens. Experience just happens. It is
happeningnessousociteitanity. Like right now. Words fail; I can't meditate
for you!
Hopefully helpful, and helpfully hopeful,
The PeeBSter.
