[Buddha-l] Natural lucidity for all, a Buddhist dream

[Joy Vriens]

Fools Crow,

<<I would think so. One's expectations can be involved in the cause of 
what happens to her. One's idea of the nature of reality (which is 
always mistaken -- mind and memory imagery is always "virtual"). I am 
not sure what the difference could be between "reality" and "virtual 
reality" except with "reality" we probably share a higher proportion 
of our notions of "reality" than we do with our (or their) "virtual 
reality".>>

I think what is generally called reality is conventional reality or interpretation, things are real because it is generally thought or decided by a certain group of people that they are things and that they are real. It's not more real than that. Isn't it true (or won't it be true in the future) that something doesn't exist when it's not online? 

<<There, now. I have gone and confused myself again. I think I will 
rereae Ecco's Foucault Pendulum.>>

I have tried reading it twice now, perhaps I ought to try a third time.
