"Back to the steps. Since we live in a quanta world, would those little steps ever end? It may be that the straight line doesn't exist. Pretty twisted huh?" I see your twisted brain and raise you three twists, Pat. If there is such a concept as beyond birth and death, perhaps there is no living. Whereby life is thought to be real through quantitative thinking which breaks the transcendent state into evolutionary steps. Eventhough it could normally be agreed that the steps would never end and the straight line doesn't exist, if the central point of every measured step is synonymous to the exterior of the steps (namely non-existence), neither the straight line nor the steps would actually exist. I think I noticed a reference to that on the site I cited, where there is a still point at the absolute center of all illusory motion. Perhaps that is why many meditative practices focus on stillness. |
