Yes the perceiver can be perceived

I think some see the distinction between existence and non existence as important because it affects them
Whereas I see it as simply being a transition from one state to another and which essentially is all that it is

Thanks for your answer.

Can you see, you have just made a ''truth claim''...But, it's no good just making a 'truth claim' without supporting that 'truth claim' with some kind of empirical evidence ..just so we can all be shown the answer you have given is a correct 'truth claim'... ?

Can the knowledge ( Yes the perceiver can be perceived ) be shown, explained, demonstrated or described scientifically on paper or by experiment, or by other method, and which one?

And if the answer is yes again...then demonstrate this truth of how in your own conceptual context ?

That's good to know, I admire some good honest BS now and then.

I was just answering your question so was not aware I was making a truth claim as such. Which is just as well for I cannot demonstrate
it. Although I only hold it to be true for myself not for anyone else. Since I am not here to convince anyone of anything I think or know

If you were not aware you were making a truth claim or any claim, then how do you know what answer to give to the question ? if you were not aware..then who was answering the question?

You say you cannot demonstrate the truth claim because you were not aware of it...so how can you know you've made the claim without being aware that you've made a claim?

You say you cannot demonstrate the truth claim because you were not aware of it so
how can you know you ve made the claim without being aware that you've made a claim

I gave an answer that I thought at the time was true or as close to as possible but whether it is actually
true is another matter. I know nothing so I cannot say which is why I avoid having fixed opinions if I can

You say you know the perceiver can be perceived, ... but you are not actually sure as to the truth or untruth of that knowing?

You say you don't have a fixed opinion...so do you just make-up all your answers according to your unsure, arbitrary loose opinion?

That's what you do so why shouldn't anybody else?

The ''you'' doesn't make-up knowledge. The ''you'' is perceived knowledge. The perceived cannot know anything, so it's not ''your'' knowledge to make-up in the first place.

No one is separate, notice that all beings say the same thing..which is.. I or I am, there can be no opposite to I, there must only be one I ...this is known as knowledge, this I is perceived knowledge.

So, who is the perceiver of knowledge ?

The perceiver of knowledge is the one (the separate and individual One) who perceives it.

I am not sure of anything because I know nothing which is all I want to know

When you show any signs of knowing what you're talking about I'll think about listening.
