: Deconstruction = non-reification?
:
: Yes josef, I think it indicates nearly the
: same thing.
:
: From Wiki: "In Derrida's view,
: deconstruction is a tradition inherited via
: Heidegger (the French term
: "déconstruction" is a term coined
: to translate Heidegger's use of the words
: "Destruktion"—literally
: "destruction"—and
: "Abbau"—more literally
: "de-building").
:
: So perhaps deconstruction is de-reification.
:
: love, rat
:
: Hi, rat,
:
: That makes sense to me. The experience of
: spotting and dissembling reifications about
: nearly everything is an ongoing wonder to
: me. We lived reified lives, experience
: conceptually, emote to our conceptual
: interpretations. To experience reality
: directly, without all the attending
: thought-constructs is liberating.
:
: ZZ's double walk is being able, imo, to
: function in the world where everyone is
: living conceptually, understanding this, and
: be able to be free of it at the same time.
:
: I've talked alot in the past of the Taoist
: principle that so fascinate me, and how they
: are all aspects of the same freedom, the
: same direct, bare reality. Non-reification
: is attended by non-attachment, to our ideas,
: beliefs, opinions. The attachment falls away
: when we recognize that they are only
: concepts built by thought, memory,
: conditioning.
:
: It all becomes a dance, lighter and lighter,
: and always fascinating.

: "ZZ's double walk is being able, imo,
: to function in the world where everyone is
: living conceptually, understanding this, and
: be able to be free of it at the same
: time."
:
: This is excellent imo. Better than any
: scholar's explanation I have seen anywhere.
: love,
: rat
:
: Greetings rat
:
: It seems to me the problem lies in the sense
: that freedom is outside of conception.
:
: This idea of freedom seems just another
: filter that is perception.
:
: in peace,
: gar
:
: Yes, you are right gar. And that "begs
: the question."
: Nothing said is "the thing
: itself". However it does seem that
: "pointing at it" with words helps
: some folks find the experience itself.
:
: love,
: rat
:
Add a pinch of quietness and a dash of calmness and presto, a Zen moment.
in peace,
gar
