Re: Anthropomorphism
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.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 10:56 pm I think in some sense ultimate reality can be known, known as energy and a place of no things/objects.
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.

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.
Re: Anthropomorphism
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.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 12:02 pmIt describes nothing is being everything. Because in knowledge, nothing cannot be understood, therefore nothing has to be everything.

Re: Anthropomorphism
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.
Re: Anthropomorphism
I disagree. I think our senses give us a far more detailed representation of the world than a verbal description.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 12:18 pmA 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.

You asked for a discription of the image, which was given via verbal context using language, the only way it could have been delivered.Maia wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 12:26 pmI disagree.
