An ordained Buddhist Monk sent this to me. So you will understand that it is not your conventional view of the world. This is a video that discusses the existence of ways of understanding the world (reality as we perceive it) that are not merely conventional interpretations. P E R C E I V I N G R E A L I T Y

I don't know. I know I have met people online that I regard as substantial and this guy is one of them.

Reality is always completely subjective unless you are postulating a dead universe that just sits there to be observed.

And then that is subjective.

Great link, thanks. I will have to check out the free books available. This reminds me of another quote from a French Philosopher, Henri Bergson:

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.
