If All is Paradox Than All Contains a Degree of Truth By Virtue of Occurence

Experience itself isn't distinctual, thinking is, which can make experience seem distinctual.

Thinking is an experience.

Yes but that's irrelevant here.

Far from it my friend....

Then every rainbow you see is a real rainbow, if you go close you'll be able to touch it.

if there are no humans to make the observation and categorization, it doesn't exist

millions of years ago before humans appeared, dinosaurs roamed the planet

but no, no, no! there were no humans, dinosaurs didn't exist!

But, something first must exist before any knowledge of something can be negated to exist.
The claim things do not exist is to simultaneously imply they do exist. It takes something to negate something. But nothing cannot negate nothing.

I am not sure it is limited to being a construct considering the transitional nature of awareness requires paradoxical foundations to some degree or another. Yes it is a construct to some degree but this construct is less a thing in itself and more process expressed by the psyche. Paradox begets paradox.

Do you mean in the context of there being no thing to construct a paradox, and yet a paradox does apparently appear as a constructed thing - which makes no sense and at the same time appears to make sense. Is that what you mean?

What I am saying is that the nature of the psyche is paradox and and reflection of the psyche is the manifestation of further paradoxes from it. The recursion of paradox.

Are you talking about the illusory dream of separation?

In the context of... If there was No Everything, if there was only Nothing, then Nothing would be, that is the only thing that there would be?

No...the thread title says "degree of truth..."

A "fake" rainbow is a degree of truth of a real rainbow, it is a reflection.

Given the paradoxical nature of the psyche the constructs, that exist as extensions of it, are paradoxical.

Don't know what degree of truth means. Something can be true in some senses and false in other senses.

Fuzzy logic. Rather than strict binary identities they exist in grades.

I'm a fuzzy logic user and don't understand how to use it on rainbows.

There is a rainbow. Then there is a picture of a rainbow. Then there is a picture of a picture of a rainbow. Then there is a picture of a picture of a picture of a rainbow. Etc. Each picture of the rainbow is strictly a degree different from the original rainbow.

I understand what you are saying, and so agree with that statement.

The only way to solve a paradox is to transcend it my fusing the opposites as a new construct, a new self.

no, nothing is nothing - to claim that nothing is negative means that some nothing is less than nothing

when you deny thing permission, you may say no thing
