Hi Mac, I didn’t see you standing there!
Kind of a useful talent on occasion. :p

There is always another side, or opposite situation, so to speak.
*SHRUG!* Okay. Then, if perception exists, then so must non-perception. Dissipate the mechanical structures of perception, and you're probably going to get its opposite. I don't find that particularly alarming, by the way. As far as I can tell, I was perceptionless from the Big Bang up until about 55 years ago.

It’s fun to speculate about it, but only with another believer. That would reduce the ridicule tremendously.
I have to admit to some degree of sympathy with this, even though I'm pretty much a realist. I think those with a somewhat mystical bent might want to consider, however, that to the rest of us, the mindset actually is ridiculous, even if the individual isn't. I guess that's of no particular consequence unless some sort of convincing is involved.

Let me put it this way...I have no doubt that the contents of your own mind are what you say they are, and that you have internal reasons to consider them valid. Unless you or anyone else is in the business of reorganizing my thought processes, I tend to view it only with interest.
