Next: All that exists is Up: What is
Previous: Universal consciousness Contents
The idea that immediate experience is universal is similar to existing ideas such as that of Tao.
In the beginning was the Tao.
All things issue from it;
All things return to it[48, v 52].
The Tao gives birth to One.
One gives birth to Two.
Two gives birth to Three.
Three gives birth to all things[48, v 42].
Immediate experience is always specific and finite. It is logical in the sense that what we experience is either something or not something. Language can be ambiguous or inadequate to express what we experience, but the experience itself is always a definite thing and not all the other possible definite things.
Immediate experience is finite. It may appear to be continuous as in our visual image, but this is an illusion constructed from discrete visual receptors in the eye.
