Fredrick,

I think that "thinking" is the operative word regarding existence. Since there is no way to prove that anything exists, declarations of existence can be rendered according to thought. We can then proclaim, "We think we are dancing, therefore we think that we exist."

If we equate mind and body, as in some sects in the east, that essentially equates the tangible and intangible based on differentiating sensory perceptions according to abstract perspectives, then reality can be thought of as a dream made real. The mind is an extremely powerful tool, as evidenced by phantom-limb sensations and hallucinations. The bottom line, though, is that it doesn't matter if things are really real or not, if experiential reality remains the same - an abstract is distinguished as being real, pending the thought process.

Regarding the sun, there are certain prohibitions as to how much knowledge is given and should be sought after. The first civilizations had knowledge of the stars, and used astronomical maps to attempt to foretell future events that correlate with the heavens. It has a tendency to go as far as seeing certain individuals in the stars, like figures in the clouds, getting folks all hot and bothered over nothing, and some manifesting their destinies at the expense of innocent others.

You're right, only one version is correct, but no one has enough knowledge to create the correct construct. That knowledge is reserved for the universe, and trying to discover and uncover things ahead of time in the incorrect fashion has historically proven to repeatedly create hell on earth instead of heaven on earth. Needless to say, I don't aim to build a tower, but to persuade others to consider the consequences of their actions by following the age-old "wei wu wei" - action without acting; doing nothing and yet all is done.

To further this, in a religious context, the guilt held deep inside the subconscious mind of accountable actions prevents the freedom of the soul. Where the subconscious mind judges all conscious actions, and executes.... If you can forgive others, you can forgive yourself, but most are hardpressed to do so and are continually subjected to the prevailing circumstances of the mind.

The alternative being the absolute surrendering of the ego, whereby all actions are discounted because you're not the "one" acting according to your own will, but allowing the will of the universe to manifest through you.
