But I am NOT chasing after nothing. That is just a Truly ABSURD Wrong ASSUMPTION of YOURS.

What I am seeking, from YOU, is SOME 'thing'.

I am NOT chasing after the transient. So, ONCE AGAIN, YOUR ABSURD ASSUMPTION here is Wrong ALSO.

And, your ATTEMPTS to now 'try to' "justify" your previous claims is NOT working.

Eod,
Is what you are trying to say that the biological subject/consciousness is the knower of the world, the eyes, ears, and consciousness of the world, as the only means by which the physical world comes to knows itself?

No, what I am saying is the being occurs through context. This necessitates a context within a context as a context, etc. This self-referentiality of context leaves context obscure. Considering being occurs through context this leaves being obscure as well. Being is thus indefinite and as indefinite is not premised on conditions.

Can you name one 'thing' that is NOT relative?

If yes, then will you?

If no, then WHY NOT?

You are not making sense to me. Contexts are like categories we divided things up into smaller portions or draw a circle around what we wish to understand due to humanity's limited mental ability to understand the totality, that being the actual context. Seeing that the earth is an open system the context/totality is unknown if the universe itself is open, this we do not know. When an organism is born into the world it has no identity it is acquired through moving through the physical world experiencing feeling thinking knowing and acquiring an identity thus. It seems to me you put to much emphasis upon imaginary lines, do you imagine that the myriad of thus defined contexts are all supportive of life. I guess what I am trying to say is, what is the point of your argument. If it is that fact that the physical world/object is necessary for the existence of the subject that has been establish a very long time ago. If I am confused please enlighten.

There's no such 'thing' as 'Not relative'.

Not relative is relative.

I asked that question for a very specific reason. Which you have now just made VERY CLEAR.

The absence of thingness which occurs universally and is unchanging as there is no-thing to change.

Being occurs through limits. These limits are categories. Given categories exist through consciousness, and all being exists through categories, then all being is conscious.

However:

Each category, which is synonymous in this conversation to context, both contains further categories and exists as a part of further categories. Categories exist within categories. Categories exist outside of categories. This makes the category, ie context, as self-referential thus indefinite as there is no contrast; only the category/context exists.

Considering consciousness is a part of the totality, and categories/contexts are part of consciousness (or rather consciousness itself), then categories/contexts are not part of the totality. They are a part which contains themselves.
