Venn Diagram
Venn Diagram
I created a Venn diagram with one circle representing truth and the other representing a mental object. I’m interested in exploring the relationship between these two concepts.

Re: Venn Diagram
isn't truth itself a mental object?

- In order to fit within the limitations of “object”, even a mental object, truth would need to be a single, representational thing.
- The horse is both tall, and piebald.
- Therefore, a singular truth as a mental object representing the reality of, can only be more than one object, i.e., the truth requires a relationship.
- We, and the truth, only exist in relationship.
- The truth is, all things are compounded, including mental objects, therefore whatever is not compounded, such as God, is not a mental object ... which makes the concept tough to represent, which is why some folks won't even say the word. Any word or concept instantly projects limitations due to binary apprehension, which is likely derived from physical, bilateral symmetry.

Re: Venn Diagram
Oh, it's not all that difficult to grasp.
Limitation applies more to the concept of Emptiness.
Emptiness is infinite potentiality.
A thing is a manifestation.
Infinite potentiality offers infinite possibilities.
A manifestation offers limited possibilities.
Ergo, any concept of God projects limitations onto God.
And then ...
The next thing you know, folks are talking about The Sky God ... usually in a dismissive way,
In an attempt to project ignorance upon the "God botherers," as they say.
Emptiness is Venn Diagram Without Borders.
