Could Nothingness Be Another Dimension In And Of Itself?

Sunyata is conditionality and emptiness, completely incompatible with your "cosmic consciousness".

Your muddling up of Buddhist and Hindu ideas seems to cause you endless confusion.

To see things via of a conceptual framework is to see things via a conditioned mind. What is biased about that? It is a statement of fact.

Your simply changing the framework. It's still conceptual regardless of whether you admit it or not. In effect, you're playing a shell game with yourself pretending you are no longer affected by your confirmation bias.

Man, are you dense, or what?

Read:

If unconditioned is without conditioning, it cannot have a framework! Do you know how to use simple logic?

The present moment is without concept. To realize the present moment is to attain Perfect View, because there is nothing in the way to contaminate it.

Well do that then. Have a break from trawling the internet for contradictory snippets from here and there.

Now you want to mask the discussion. Sunyata is the Perfection of Wisdom. The Perfection of Wisdom is Perfect View. It is as simple as that! Read your sutras again. Now go to your room!

You seem to be experiencing quite a bit of muddled mind lately, don't you?

More accurately the perfection of wisdom is the realisation of sunyata. As the first section of the Heart Sutra explains:
"The Bodhisattva of Compassion, When he meditated deeply, Saw the emptiness of all five skandhas And sundered the bonds that caused him suffering."

But do you agree that sunyata is incompatible with "cosmic consciousness"?

Hehe. I'm quite famous (and annoying) for responding to the question, "What time is it?" with "It's now, of course." (I've even done this with strangers on the street, LOL.)

There is the now of the fleeting moment, and the Now of the eternal Present Moment. You're still attached to the fleeting moment, in Time.

That is not what the current discussion is about. Later....

The realization of Sunyata, and Sunyata, are one and the same. There is no separate 'realizer' of the realization.

Just as I thought. You don't know, and that tells me everything there is to know about you!

It means I don't understand what you are on about, your weird use of language. Tell me then. What is the practical difference between fleeting now and eternal now?

Let's have a clear and succinct explanation from you, not another load of tautological jargon or another confused Alan Watts monologue.
