You explanation proves that you think you know and I don't. Which means you know. Which means you don't know. Therefore I am right.Dontaskme wrote:And allow me to explain why?sthitapragya wrote:
The problem with your theory is that as soon as you talk about it, it becomes a known and therefore it is immediately proved false.
Why we tend to overthink this..
All that we know is by virtue of thought, and yet we can't even know thought itself, because every time we look at thought we don't see thought, we just see thoughts about thought. Even the thought we are talking about is created by the knowledge that is given to us.
So the thought is a self- auto-perpetuating mechanism. The body is not interested in that at all. The actions of the body are responses to the stimuli,and it has no separate, independent existence of it's own.
Unfortunately, time is the one that has created the beginning and the end, and it is interested in permanence, whereas the functioning of the body is immortal in it's own way, because it has no beginning, it is not born, so it has no death. So there is a death to the thought, but not to the body.
Thought tends to perpetuate itself, it does not want to come to an end. The mind doesn't exist, but even so it wishes to believe it is immortal.
It is interested in creating an artificial immortality of an entity, self.It knows in a way that it is coming to an end and it's survival, it's continuity,
it's status quo depends upon the continuity of the body. But body is not in any way involved with the thought, because it has no beginning, it has no end.
It is the thought that has created the two points - this is the birth and that is the death. So our illusion that We have a mind is born out of fear.
See what I mean? You tell the world your theory and it immediately collapses on itself.
