Okay, let's say there is no mind. Well, what is it that exists? DAM exists because she cares about cats, and slaughterhouses. DAM exists because she knows she will die and cease to exist. DAM exists because she knows others exist and suffer.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 8:42 amNo thing is doing anything. No thing is saying there is a mind, no one is saying there is no mind.
This is the truth that the 'separate self' cannot bear to notice. The 'separate self' is a reflexive responsive unitary action of the senses to stimulus. It's nothing appearing to be something which is nothing.
Generic words are ''sound'' heard as words. Sound is the effect of two material surfaces rubbing together.
The brain is the biological computer. A computer is not conscious, there is only consciousness one without a second.
The brain has no author, or creator that you can call ''a you''.
If the brain is your brain, then try recreating one ( make one from scratch)
When I say "knows" you could reply as is your habit, "there is no thing that knows". True. By "knows" I really mean experience, so that DAM and I experience the fact of death and nothingness. And DAM and I experience the existence and suffering of others, because here we are.
