Thank you for explaining your point of view, @Nungali! I guess I understand you better now.

Are you not? Luminous blob? I am confused.

What's with this Relative and Absolute Reality dichotomy? It is all very confusing...
S:C replied to dwai's topic in General Discussion
Very much agree with your first observations and paragraphs. How should there be knowledge of the absolute? We may have conceptions about it in our own relative minds, no? Or perhaps you mean that all relative conceptions of the absolute together are the Absolute because they appear on the projection surface of mind? -
Thanks, that’s probably the most helpful answer. I‘m also not sure what is kabbalistic ‘tradition’ and what is nungalis interpretation here…

What’s got the poor cow got to do with it?

It would seem that the differentiation between ‚four worlds‘ is arbitrary and not necessarily a consequence of the diagramm. Why are several spheres a world? Is this intuitive or experiential gnowledge for you? (Seems I‘d need to take a look at that book of yours, bes! Seems very complex.)

Are all three pillars ‚humane‘? (As in residing in a human spirit?)

How can there be any deviance from the principle (the dao part) anyhow?

First questions first: Are the fruits on the cards of the high priestess pomegranates?

For whom is this relevant? Is it a ‚travel route’? Shouldn’t it be more like a cycle? I don’t think it’s linear, is it? A few symbols don’t explain themselves in this context…

I am a little rusty in the lingo. Especially with the Advaitins. And I lack understandable explanations - which are not available in my language, as far as I see. Where do the concepts of „substantiality“ differ concerning svabhava… ? @dwai could you provide us with a translation of please? (Don‘t know how or why this got an orange colouring…) So the Advaitins despite their focus on impermanence see ‚God‘ while the Buddhists do not? Empty of substance in both views? -
Would you be able and willing to give a reference for this quote please?

Does anyone else find it funny that the measurement unit for high impedance is called ohm? I wonder whether good old Georg did some meditation on his last name.
