Pantheism is a dead end.

Forget about the religious concepts for a minute.

Can the dreamer be separate from the dream?

What do you think ends? ..and more over, something must have started for there to be end...so what do you think has started?

Glad you agree. You can now join myself and shakespeare, and rest here with us.

You deny relationships; I say relating is everything.

When Macbeth says this, he's talking about the sum of the Queen's life. That is not to say that nothing we can say or do within out lifes' cannot signify something to another, for s short while.
It's only when fools pretend to know what it is all supposed to mean such as in that silly quote that was posted.

Well yes, it can be said that way reflex. It works both ways I suppose, your way and mine.
I say everything is nothing and nothing is everything, as complementary opposites..two, but not two... so in essence any relationship for everything is only ever with itself alone, namely, nothing, so the relationship is pure imagination, aka illusory.

I say There is nothing for everything to relate to. If there's just everything and there is, there is nothing that it can relate to outside of that everything arena because ''everything and nothing'' are the same one being two..albeit illusory.

Queen is a concept. Concepts don't live. Only the nonconceptual lives.

Real can neither be spoken nor written. Only the illusory is spoken and written. When you live you do not think. When you think you do not live.
