Starboy, are you the only anomaly? If so, that too points at singularity, or single-pointed experience.(even if only your own.) If not, each then, is singular and whole. Separated from the notion of total absolute unity, the palpable result is still singularity or single-pointed reference(s). The plurality of which, ultimately is non-sequitor.
What is being argued? Concepts or semantics?
Quote by Jeffl:
"i can understand as grounded in misapplication, an ignorance of context maybe; but i think some aspects of individuality don't want 'one mind.' For me, the realization of one mind compells a clear course of action;"
What is to be done, were you correct? Can ignorance skew reality?
If, as you say, we are to discover or learn that there is only one mind then, then how many minds are you currently viewing/ experiencing this world through? My view is unified already. I cannot see nor taste this place through another's perspective. (yet?)
All perspectives thus unified will result in a singular perspective again. What is the meaning of this! How can this seem like a logical or even worthy aspiration? It seems to be more like a repetitive cycle assuming a new name with each revolution!
Your suggestions imply, Jeffl, to me, that the realization of unity and the presence of universal unity are separateable concepts. What is there to seperate?
As Starboy said, "What is spiritual?" (kudos!)
There is no difference between spirituality and science as they cannot be compared. They are METHODS of exploring the SAME phenomema. = everything is scientific. Everything is also spiritual. Semantically, the jargon and terms differ yet the GOAL is the same. Insight, contrast, understanding. Cessation of suffering.
In the end though, peeps, what is to be explained?
In explaining the experience, a lifetime becomes prone to being "explanation after explanation, " never experiencing yet always quantifying, turning, grasping, brooding.
Don't think too much. Be glad you already own the single perspective you seek.
Is this life so terrible? What if this is as good as it gets? It really is pretty incredible, already. The painting is only finished when the artist sets down the brush...
