A tree

QUOTE r2w
"-Long ago man walked upon a tree and said, "There's a tree."
-Later man learned to harvest the tree. It was still a tree.
-Later man learned to cultivate the tree. It was still a tree.
-Later man learned that the tree was made up of energy. It was still a tree.
-Then along comes a popular metaphysical theory to claim the tree is not real.Is it no longer a tree?

Which is true, the tree or the claim? "

I would say it is still a tree. The metaphysical theory does only count for the "foundation". Not the entire "building". And thus, it is not complete.

    I know chip. It is just that I am still certain that you can´t leave out any aspects. If you do, you don´t have the truth. I seem to be alone in this. Why is that?

    And yes, in a way I am Aurora as well. It is a “dream of the Absolute” as some put it or a “particle of possibilities” as the quantum puts it. The dream is there, wheater one likes it or not. And the particles exists. But the above is the basics, that which don´t change. But “that which don´t change” is used to create what ever it likes. Aurora and the tree!

    The Absolute has a quality nobody seem to admit. The creation is here, take a step forward into an atom, then you don´t see it. The magic boundry. But it can be measured. It is just our eyes that don´t see it.

    You have to except it ALL. You can´t leave things out. As I see it, there is no contradiction in it. And god knows, I had enough of contradictions.

    "There is only the Absolute, nothing other then the absolute, when it is seen as other then the Absolute it is called illusion, appearance,...A tree.
    "
