Dear Jed,
I was hallucinating that I'm not done for a while and I finally decided to do some "Work".
I went to the mountain and was standing in front of a tree, then I turned around facing away the tree, now I was asking myself: How can I be sure that the tree exist? its just a memory in my head now, How can I be sure that I'm not just hallucinating? no thought/memory can be relied on and dubbed as true. The physical universe which its existence can go under question by a mere turning around cannot be true.
hell, even all these experiences about what I have done yesterday are just thoughts and memories and so they are non-existent.
What is true is the image in front of me, although there is neither me, nor front, nor the image. in other words the perceiving is truth. but the contents of perception are never truth. nothing more can be said about it.
now can we say that perceiving is eternal? goes on forever? I cannot say that I have perceived yesterday (as proved above) but can I say that there will be perception tomorrow? but is there a tomorrow? if there isn't a tomorrow how can I know that? if there is no tomorrow there won't be perception there as well so I cannot know.
OK up to here, I can't go further than this in my mind right now
Can you extend it a bit Jed ? what is the next step?
