There's An Idea That There's An Experiencer

Fred Davis

I want to focus on the subtle kind of subtlety, especially at this stage, because language needs to be really precise and accurate to avoid becoming hazy. I've noticed the character’s been misbehaving all week.

There's An Idea That There's An Experiencer

When I think about that, I ask myself: how much does the character weigh if he's been throwing his weight around? But I realize that the character has no actual weight. Then, what about height? It turns out the character has no height either. And volume? No volume at all. From my perspective, something that lacks height, weight, and volume is what I consider an idea. So, what I understand is that the idea that someone has had an experience isn’t something objective or tangible. It doesn't show up fully outside of me. I realize consciousness doesn’t experience anything outside itself because everything is consciousness. Consciousness is the foundation on which everything is built. I feel that I am—there’s this sense of being—but I also recognize that just feeling I am doesn’t necessarily prove actual being. The sense of something doesn't always reflect the truth of that something.
