Larry Moran has said he gets what I\u2019m saying<\/a>, but it is just the old argument from experience. But I think there is a difference. I\u2019m not claiming to have experienced aliens or other beings within the world that he\u2019s never seen and has no evidence of. I\u2019m claiming to experience the universe we inhabit itself in a different way. How do we compare our different subjective experiences of existence? I\u2019m not talking about dreams<\/em> \u2013 I\u2019m talking about how we experience waking existence<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Barefoot Bum has joined in the conversation with a post about explaining color to the blind<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kayology has chimed in with a post about concepts of God<\/a>.<\/p>\n
