Foundation of all Axioms the Axioms of Consciousness

RE: Foundation of all Axioms the Axioms of Consciousness
An axiom that assumes the accuracy of the contents of such an experience is far too pregnant to be called an axiom.  May as well just stop the conversation there.  If you know that you aren't "one with the tree" or that your experience of locality is strictly representative....purely because of your experiential point of view...becauseyou take such experiences to be axiomatic...why not simply employ -that- on whatever else it is you believe?  No argument required.  Whatever you experience, you ascribe accuracy to the contents of that experience axiomatically.

The events making the tree are most definitely not in your brain, unless you have a gaping hole in your head. Big enough to fit a sapling. Unless, ofc, the experience is what counts, if you ascribe accuracy axiomatically. In which case you most assuredly -are- "one with the tree-of-your-mind" and do experience that locally as a part of yourself. You just aren't used to describing it as such.

This shit is unworkable.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
