Yes, but didn't I agree with this like 3 times already?AlexW wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 11:54 pm Yes, agree, its perfectly fine to say "there is the moon up there, its beautiful, isn't it..." - how else should we communicate?
But when discussing topics like "reality" and whatever else falls into the non-dual category things become a little tricky... maybe non-dual concepts shouldn't even be discussed using language as it makes no sense using tools shaped for duality to describe the non-dual... its like changing a light bulb with a hammer...
By the way:
You never perceive the "moon", you only conceptualise an experience as "moon" - the direct experience is never of an object. Objects are created when conceptual thought gets hold of the flow of experience - which is non-dual - and then introduces duality where initially there is none.
That's not my point, my point is that, from an absolutist point of view, even though reality is non-dual, and there are no separations, there is still a Moon (or whatever) "out there" and a perception/concept of the Moon "in my head". There are these two (territory/map).
