(Dontaskme)No, what I mean is not what you think I mean, it's what I mean.(Belinda wrote)I think what you mean is that this relative world is illusionary; and the whole ,the eternal, is true.
I think that both the relative world, and the eternal wholistic now are true. They are two aspects of the same.

(Belinda)Is it your responsibility to make your meaning clear?

(Belinda)True, "life is one unitary action, it is only the one playing the many". Also true is that you and I and everyone else is unitary and if not we would die.No man is an island, nevertheless Life is one unitary action, it is only and ever oneness playing the many...forget the word illusory if you can't deal with it, it's not the kind of word for the faint of heart anyway...
If you, Dontaskme, were not unitary you would be a cannibal if you ate a piece of dead cow or even a lettuce.

.However it is reasonable for a philosopher to think of the eternal now in the sense that 1. all events are in some sense ordered events. 2. all events are differentiated by minds and are not naturally separate events. The philosopher can say that differentiated events are mind-dependent. I
agree that differentiated events are mind-dependent , and that the cosmos is in some sense ordered, although perhaps not causally ordered
To which Dontaskme responded "What?"
Dontaskme, is there a word you don't understand? Do you not understand the concept of mind dependence ? Do you not understand ordered cosmos as opposed to chaotic cosmos?
If you cannot tell me what you don't understand I cannot make my point clearer.
