Then all things would exist according to his perception.
His perception would be a perfectly accurate judgment to what they are.
And if that is true, the nature of things would be that they are illuminated to existence by his vision.
Does something see us as we truly are?
Is it us or something else that sees?
If it is us and we misjudge do we disappear?
And if it's not us, what is this vision that sees us exactly as we are?
Or there is no accurate us,
And our self-analysis is close enough.
But close enough to what?
If not the true accurate self?
Which again is defined by what?
Or do we exist without requiring perception?
But look at yourself and look at your properties?
Are they not all by awareness and perception?
Who is keeping score of your actions?
What maintains the image of your personality?
What makes you inherit your actions?
Don't look now MK, but you gave away your bad logic in the title of the thread with the very first word.
"IF"
"IF" only Ann McCarthy had fallen in love with me.
"IF" only I had won the lottery.
"IF" only I never had to pee or poop.
"IF" only they had stopped making Star Wars movies after the first 3 originals.
"IF" only the NFL football Washington Redskins would stop sucking year after year.
"IF" only humans really did have multiple arms like the Hindu gods, I could really please myself even better.
"IF"
"If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a party."
"IF" Christians are right.......
"IF" Jews are right......
"IF" Buddhists are right......
"IF" Hindus are right...........
See how that works? You simply swallowed a proposition because it appeals to your desires, that is not evidence.
Pleas MK try to understand we are NOT trying to hurt you, but merely trying to get you to consider that was then and this is now.
