: Ah, but from where would this false identity
: arise?
It arises, subjectively, in our individual mind, that is it is subject to our psychophysical complex, which is a temporary construct, temporary in that it is subject to the conditions of entropy.
The Individual mind either exists or
: does not exist. If it does not exist, than
: it cannot have any "sense of
: reality" at all, false or otherwise.
: And if it does exist, than it must be real,
: and not false.
For something to be said to be 'false', why should that implicate that it doesn't exist according to our material sensory processes? My hand rubbing my other hand? Is that 'false' or just self-referential?
:
: And how does this Mind differ from the
: individual mind? Is it that Mind decieves
: itself into believing that it is individual
: minds? If so, than it is Itself deluded, and
: cannot show us the way to Reality.
Why and how can it not? If you use the thought process to think about the thought process then you're still engaged in the thought process. Similarly to not think about thinking just means that you're thinking about not thinking.
: The "individual mind" can only be
: part of "Mind" as long as the
: individual mind itself is real. If it is not
: real, than it cannot be a part of anything
: at all.
:
If someone kicks you in the nuts, is that real? What makes the act of foot connecting to nuts real?
