here's something that makes even Red Pine's head hurt, a morning challenge.
"The cause of other schools does not qualify as eternal and inconceivable.
what other schools claim is eternal and inconceivable is not the result of its own causal attribute.
my ultimate truth is eternal and inconceivable because ultimate truth is the result of
a causal attribute that transcends existence and nonexistence.
Because the attainment of personal realization is its attribute, it has an attribute."
🔽
the distinction between logic and lifeworld,
between concepts and direct personal experience,
lived experience.
logic doesn't transform, but personal direct experience does.
not attained by argument,. not Thomism or any system of logic, mathematics included. all these are "just words and projections".
those "who fear suffering that comes from their projection of samsara seek nirvana
unaware that the difference between samsara and nirvana, as well as their projection of everything else
does not exist.
They conceive of nirvana as the cessation of all future sensory realms
not as the transformation of repository consciousness through the personal realization of buddha knowledge.
Instead, they are attached to perception of a realm outside the mind and keep turning the wheel of samsara."

That’s tricky. 🌸
