Comment to 'No Permanent Self'
  • I disagree if someone said that inSelf Yoga publishes that. Rather, it publishes that the transcendent center of experience is a permanent core which is independent only in certain aspects. For instance, it independently and causelessly exists as a subjective reality but it may be afforded objectivity from time to time.

    The problem with this subjective existence is that it means it may exist and not be objective to itself. It may for long phases where it has no contrast for itself which means that it exists as if it were nothing, while in fact it is something but it is something without control over its pronouncements about itself. It is environment reliant as far as objectivity is concerned.

    We have many aspects in this existence which support this. For instance, rocks which are millions of years old but which have no way to be self-object. Of course, rocks are temporary but that itself still affords us some understanding.

    The transcendental center of experience is not deliberate. Hence it cannot pronounce itself to provide or render proof of itself in a scientific way.
