Whatever you say. Thanks.

You're welcome, man.
If you feel like I'm saying that you are deluded or something, please remember that you are an amazing person and that we need more delusion like yours :x.

The 'whatever you say' attitude is just the testimony of your sincerity, and how you can experience this yourself without thinking: 'am I deluding myself here?'. You know what you are, now be something else.


Bearing with the conditioned in gentleness, fording the river with resolution, not neglecting what is distant, not regarding one's companions; thus one may manage to walk in the middle. H11L2

That was not an attitude. I meant it literally.

Whatever you say/think/believe becomes the truth.

I like the distinction you've made between lies and illusion.

Anyway, let alone the earlier distinction, isn't the distinction between 'what is' and 'illusion' illusory? I mean isn't 'what is' merely an appearance? Isn't 'what is' how it appears to be? How could illusions exist at all?

Furthermore, isn't language itself illusory as well? So how can we know what a lie actually is while we still have to make sure that our method is not one? I would say that it works both ways, depending on how we look at it.

I would say that a lie is what we think it is. We create lies with our thinking.

From the absolute perspective the truth and the lie both arises, no difference there. 

Have you ever heard about the swamp monster kakapataput? It smells like roses, farts rainbows and has a beard made of cotton candy. And I just now created it. ?

Seems like it takes language to lie. I have a hard time imagining that a birds song would be lying. I see each word as a pointer to something same as thoughts.
