Let me try another approach.

Everything is, for example, everything in this room. Or everything on the planet. Or everything on the table. So, no matter the context, everything is everything in that context. So everything is everything in any context, or in all contexts. However, everything in all contexts is the same as everything with no special context, or simply "everything."


not deep enough

explained in my last post

Could you please just explain yourself again? If you fell that lazy, Ctrl+C followed by Ctrl+V would do...

This addiction of yours to taking everything externally has almost become a disease--even when considering a concept you are so averse to your own subjectivity that you cannot help searching for an external point of view. Unfortunately, regarding a concept, an external view is of no help.

@guigus,
I'd say there is no 'externally', internal/external would be an arbitrary distinction as one is always in the same 'place'.

I have already explained to you that there really are no concepts, if you like I could do it again for you.

What 'game' are you playing with your 'self'?

So you are not external to me? As also there is no difference between the concepts of "me" and "you," because there are no concepts?

Is your "self" posting from within a mental institution?

Or perhaps you are playing the "game" of pretending you are crazy?

If not, then I would say that you are dangerously close...

It has no use to deny these concepts as words while still using them as concepts, like you did in your previous post:

Here you are trying to achieve conceptual understanding from the outside (externally), which will eventually take you to a mental institution as well.

To recover sanity, try looking at who looks, and talking about who talks about.

@guigus,
There is no 'me' here, I'm pretty sure I explained this to you earlier. You are the only one participating in this discussion.

You are the one who has designated 'me' and 'you' as 'concepts', you could call them 'satsahellis' it really wouldn't make any difference. It's just a distinction and definition that you are making.

You and I both knew very well that no one can be 'crazy'. Mental institutions exist for the good of the staff, crazy people aren't crazy unless there's an industry for them.

I am being patient with you but I must tell you it is wearing thin.

@guigus,
I honestly do not know what it will take for you to see that 'concepts'(whether as words or not) clearly do not exist.

Can you touch a concept? See it? Smell it? What is it in itself? 'Concepts' could not exist without a conscious observer(you). The illusion of concepts stops the moment you put down the turd.

Can you look at you(who) 'looking'? Can you talk about you(who) talking about?

What's funny here is you know what I'm saying but are 'stuck' on trying to be 'right'.

@guigus,
The concept of being is just that, a concept. The concept of everything isn't really everything in a concept. The words theory, idea, notion, concept etc.. can be seen as interchangeable, hence ambiguity. All there seems to be is a "gist" of "whatever" and we come together to validify this "gist" (however that takes place). The terms may vary, and be ridiculed vigourusly but sometimes all that happens is more of the same fashioned as the new...

...the thing about the conjunction of those two terms together, absolute and truth, is that they are redundant to each other...what is true does not need to be absolutely to be more true...truth therefore is not a description of what is (approximation/mimic) but the very being of something itself...realizing that such something in its beingness is dependent on the entirety of reality to justify its manifestation, not as a simple thing, but as a thing in space and time with a background and a context makes it one with reality and consequently, truth relative to everything, as opposing to the fantastically childish idea that truth is relative to nothing...
...I suppose what is meant in there is that the set of what is true is relative to nothing but itself, but then it is not a set..thereĀ“s no one to make the bound or the sum up until the very sum is itself complete...regarding reality no sub-set entity can do that with a greater set that contains it...

Truth: the body of real things, events, and facts : ACTUALITY
Is this meaningless?
