Quote:The difference is that in an idealistic universe, mind is omnipresent (or, more accurately, all is mind), and all "things" reduce down only to concepts
Could you elaborate on this benny? When you say "all 'things' reduce only to concepts," it sounds to me like you're putting the wagon before the horse, concepts before pure experience, and in my judgment concepts tend to reduce into disjointed fragments of reality; in other words, experience is continuous while concepts are often cut out and separated and defined by their independence from all other concepts... while pure experience oftentimes isn't quite so cleanly divided. Am I reading too much into your statement... or reading it wrong altogether?
