For example: the concept ''death'' is fixed, it cannot be ''life'' so the concept ''death'' is a fixed concept.
And yet no concept that is known, knows anything, because a concept is known by nothing.

Concepts are fixed.
The concept ''apple'' is never an orange.
Yes, it is known that living is a process of dying.
But the concept ''fixed'' can never be anything other than what is it known as which is 'fixed'

Re: Insights can never be communicated.
The known word 'concept' is fixed. There is never anything that can be known that is not a concept known. The known 'concept' is the word 'concept' it is fixed, because 'concept' cannot be anything other than 'concept'
Re: Insights can never be communicated.
For a word to be known, it has to be conceived in this conception.
Therefore, the word (WORD) can never be anything other than WORD... because it is fixed.

In this conception, there is an apparent supposition arising out of thin air, that there is a 'someone' who knows what they are communicating with another ''someone''
In reality, no communication between two things ever took place, except in this conception, as an apparent knowing, in this immediate unknowing.

The guy who wrote "The Mathematical theory of Communication" would have disagreed.Flannel Jesus wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 8:35 pm Mathematics is an insight someone figured out how to communicate.
If communication is mathematically communicable then there's more to mathematics than communication.

Yes, conceptual in this conception. Here, there are only concepts known.Flannel Jesus wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 11:21 am

All concepts are known, and that which is known knows nothing in this apparent not-knowing knowing.
'Knowing' or 'knowledge' is an infinitive appearance of nothing. Knowledge can only point to the illusory nature of reality.

Re: Insights can never be communicated.
What you thought you were talking about is not what you were really talking about. There is no ‘person’ to carry out your objective. Oneness is not the actual threeness that is what you want to get to. Stop wanting to get! There, there is your block. It’s so simple that it’s complex. If you can ‘go silent’ all that the not-me is communicating will be uncommunicated as threeness subdues oneness. Now, it’s two-ness.

Yes, I agree.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 12:30 pmWhat you thought you were talking about is not what you were really talking about. There is no ‘person’ to carry out your objective.
Yes, I agree. There is no one to want to get to. There is only here, and one cannot get there from here.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 12:30 pmOneness is not the actual threeness that is what you want to get to.
Well, there's nothing wanting to get, so it's not as if once got will matter in the slightest, there'll just be the appearance of getting or not getting, and nothing will be appearing as if getting is got, or getting is not got.
Well, if you want to put it like that, then so be it for you there, but it's not how I would have put it. And you are very much entitled to put it anyway you want, it's your prerogative, not mine.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 12:30 pmThere, there is your block. It’s so simple that it’s complex.

What I'm saying here, is that personal insights into the nature of oneness can never be communicated.

Re: Insights can never be communicated.
I must differ. When I was very young — even younger than I am now — I practiced communicating oneness insights for half an hour a day, usually at a fixed hour in the morning. Why, at that blessed time I often communicated six fully-fledged insights before breakfast. Now, frankly, I don’t bother: no one is home to even care!
