Berk,
A Beatle once said, "life flows on within you and
without you."
My brain doesn't make perception.. it exists before
perception..
A is A ... law of idenity; an object is an object;
non- contradiction in reality
I perceve something.. "I" as in ME, is perceving
I perceve SOMETHING.. as in there is something other
than myself.
"The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably
in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of
a motorcycle transmission as he does at the top of a
mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think
otherwise is to demean the Buddah - which is to demean
oneself."
