Opinions have no permanence. Like winter they pass away. Where-ever there is silence; that is you.

I know it wasn't intended for me, but for future reference, if anyone posts an image, and wants a response from me, can you describe it please?

In a conceptual sense yes, but only as concept in this conception. Energy is a concept known. However, that which is known knows nothing, which leaves only everything as being this knowing that cannot be known.

Anything known cannot become unknown. But it is not known what knowing is because knowing is the only knowing there is and you are this knowing.

For further inquiry into Knowing the Unknown and Unknowing the Known....read here....https://www.vedanet.com/knowing-the-unk ... nown/2020/

The Great Unknown and Self-evident Mystery

What then is the unknown, not as something the mind has yet to know but what the mind can never know? The great unknown is pure Seeing and Being in the present, not as a moment of time but as the presence of pure consciousness beyond the mind. The unknown is direct awareness that cannot be circumscribed by name, form and number. The unknown has no conceptual content, and can only be directly experienced, not defined in the field of the mind. It puts the mind to rest.

It describes nothing is being everything. Because in knowledge, nothing cannot be understood, therefore nothing has to be everything.

And so there can only be everything. Which cannot have a beginning nor an ending, meaning that nothing is being everything infinitely for eternity.

Beginnings and Endings are only finite conceptual appearances of the Infinite...which are illusory.

Mind just means there is an identification with a concept known, but this known knows nothing of it's existence because no thing knows every concept as every thing.

Thanks. Well, if anyone posts a useful or interesting image, I'd appreciate a description.

A description will be all you can know about any image because every seen image is an image of the imageless, and is completely open to interpretation and is never a prescriptive of how it should be.

Reality is always a presentation never a representation.

I disagree. I think our senses give us a far more detailed representation of the world than a verbal description.

You asked for a discription of the image, which was given via verbal context using language, the only way it could have been delivered.

You seemed to be making a more general point about perception in general.

Yes, I did.
And it was given in the only way possible, through verbal communication via conceptual langauge.

If you disagree with it, them make up your own description, perhaps that would help in so much as wanting to agree with it.

I asked for the description because I can't see it.
