STATEMENTS OF YOUR NOT GUESSING
I acknowledge on these kinds of questions....I DO NOT KNOW. (And that I am not willing to make guesses.)
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-14#post-5424310
Regarding the "true nature of REALITY and existence", igm, I simply do not know what it is. Make no further mistakes about that...
…I do not know and am not willing to guess anything must be included or excluded.

I do not do "believing", JL

CRITICISMS OF OTHERS ‘BLIND GUESSES’
Your blind guesses about the REALITY of existence are every bit as reasonable as the Buddha's blind guesses.
And your guesses about his guesses are also.
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-13#post-5423303
You KNOW it is a "dream world" how?
You KNOW the Buddha "shows us how to wake up from the dream" how?
Or are you simply asserting beliefs (guesses about the reality)?
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-13#post-5424251<br />C'mon.
How do you know the "teachings" of the Buddha have any validity?
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-13#post-5424271
Buddhism is a belief system which has adherents just as willing to be blind to their guessing as any other belief system.

I suspect "the truth" will set you free.
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-16#post-5429260
Too bad, JL...that you deprive yourself of the truth...and of the strength to acknowledge that you do not know the things you truly do not know.

STATEMENTS THAT YOU DON”T KNOW THE TRUE NATURE OF REALITY
I DO NOT KNOW that what I experience is REALITY.
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-19#post-5432693
I freely acknowledge that I do not know the things I do not know.
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-14#post-5424367
I have no idea whatsoever about the true nature of REALITY
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-8#post-5420039
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT REALITY is...and I am acknowledging that I do not know.

I do not know what the true nature of REALITY is

DEMANDS OF OTHERS
I want him to convince me that he is doing something other than guessing about the true nature of REALITY.
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-17#post-5430306
Do you have any evidence that he was able to teach others how to end suffering? If “yes”, please share what you have.
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-2#post-5415732.
I am also suggesting that your acceptance of the enlightenment of the Buddha and of his ability to suggest ways for you (igm) to attain it also…is nothing but pure belief (guesswork.)
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-6#post-5417499
If "proof" is what igm is looking for...I'd like to see "proof" that the Buddha taught there is no self or no soul.
Proof!
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-11#post-5421378
If not...tell us how you KNOW any of that.
http://able2know.org/topic/220485-16#post-5429148
Show me that YOU are experiencing REALITY first hand. In fact, just convince me that when you say you are experiencing REALITY first hand...you are doing something other than guessing at what REALITY actually IS...and suggesting (gratuitously) that you are experiencing it.
Really. And you KNOW this how?
