Interesting information:
The Orientals say that there is no essence, they are speaking in a subjective way, in the first person, and since they can't perceive the "essence", they don't see the usefulness of the term. Westerners say that the only thing that exists is essence, they are speaking objectively, in the second person, and although they don't perceive the "essence", they refer to it as what perceive. The first say that everything changes, the second that nothing does, even so, both are right. At least I think so.
I did not hear that in this clear distinction. I listen a lot to the statement that there is no "essence" and I like to play with that thought. It causes me more interest then the Westerners saying. It reminds me on the ongoing argument between a good friend of mine and me and this is exactly the "dispute". Laughter! I know, both are right. It finally dawned on me.
Ha, that happened to me, it's like a disconnection.
Glad that you can confirm this experience, too. Any details about it? :)
Yes it did, but I forgot it. Then I tried to remember it and I could not. So I started writing it without remembering it and I remembered it little by little. In the end I remembered and I started it again.
That made me laugh! I find it really amusing how you describe here your writing process. Been there, too.
Sorry. Only vague memories.
