WhiteOwl Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Percieving the world, some things appear to be smaller or bigger. Soaked/dry. Black/white. Thought seems to be able to point to that. So thought does define perception in some way? There are no things as things is a thought, but in that case there aint even perception. There is nothing any word can point to.

There is nothing any word can point to. That's right, this is nothing. To point even closer to the mindfuck that you are, I'd say that this is nothing specific. Look around, are you actually in a room/body/planet? Thought and perception are best buddies actually, thought takes great inspiration from perception, but it isn't perception.

For sure thought is great for pointing, creating, etc. Yet ‘that’, as in ‘to that’ is a thought, like unicorn. There’s the thought that there’s ‘that’ while there isn’t. 21 hours ago, WhiteOwl said: So thought does define perception in some way? No. 21 hours ago, WhiteOwl said: There are no things as things is a thought, but in that case there aint even perception. There is nothing any word can point to. Exactly!

And who is the "you" who is doing the convincing? Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
