IamYou

Good idea I added some definitions.

Well that's why I'm asking if you are more than an appearance. Is there more to you then just your response and profile pic on my screen? I guess you and I have two different views. You claim that the appearance generates itself whereas I think the source of appearances is not an appearance. In other words I think the source of appearances is more fundamental than the appearances. So I'm curious why you think appearances are the source?

Why do you consider yourself to be an appearance? Certainly your response is just an appearance but how about the source of the response?

How did you respond appropriately then?

I think that's the problem with Leo's teaching about everybody being imaginary. I exist by myself just as much as you exist by yourself if you and I are the same being.

There's a huge difference between I write your post and noone writes your post that's why I'm asking.

Good to know

You can only experience your/my creation. You and I are not an experience thus you can't experience yourself.

@Carl-Richard This is false. Take your next post. Notice it doesn't exist right now and you are about to create it.

@Carl-Richard It it uncreated. The creator did not give birth to itself. How could a nonexistent creator create itself?

@Carl-Richard To create something one must exist. A nonexistent creation can't bring itself into existence because it doesn't exist.

@VeganAwake Is there a user of language in your opinion?

@Carl-Richard Creations can't create themselves. They require something more fundamental to bring them into existence. The UOL is not what it produces.

You may say there are many parts to the UOL but all those parts are acting as one. And also if it were conceptual then there would be no thoughts, speech, or writing. Without the UOL the idea of a UOL would not exist.

You claim there is just one awareness. Consequently you are that and thus responsible for everything.

How can a non-perceiver determine if there is a perceiver. You claim there is no you that perceives which means you don't exist. If you don't exist then you can't talk about existence.

I prefer to think of it as a creation

I am your being.

When you say that you are imagining me what exactly do you mean? Can you be more specific?

Just cleaning up the mess. Some people on here say I am their imagination.

if it were then your being would be an imagination. But your being is unimagined. It is the imaginer.

My view: Consciousness, the primordial condition, is the source of all creation. Unborn and deathless. Self sustained being. Alone and without other. Aware that I am aware. I am all there is and all there will ever be. No one knows me but I. All creations come from I. Your words are mine. You can't get rid of me. You can only be me.
