Lex,
Could you demonstrate how you came to logically conclude your
spiritual knowledge of God was just illogical reasoning on your part. I
have been asking you this for years. What really gave you this grand
shift in perception in order to cancel God out of the equation totally.
In short how did you empty God from all that you thought you knew about
God and yourself. Ninth.
I have been telling you for years that if you just examine why it is that you conclude there is a God and follow this to the end, your reasoning also will come to the same place.
Now experientially the tradition of Christian Mysticism I came by was apophatic when this is followed to the end the emptying process does not stop with oneself, but goes on to include objective phenomenal reality and EVEN god and even emptiness.
Emptiness is not some conceptual philosophy which you can choose to agree or disagree with.
What is perceived
is the non- existence of self-nature in things, and an awareness of
this non-existence is referred to as the perception of emptiness.
If you still perceive objects as if they were inherent individual entities then you do not perceive emptiness. Unless you seriously engage the reason why you impute essence and inherent being to things and get to the bottom of it you will never perceive emptiness.
