Cause and effect can't exist at the most Absolute level?

5 posts in this topic

Cause and effect is a duality, it is two things. There is a cause + an effect.

In nonduality there would only be "effect".

Cause has no meaning without an effect: If something happens but nothing else happens as a result, it's not a cause. Something is only a cause when something else happens as a result of it.

The most fundamental thing must just be "effect", arising without cause. Everything which arises from "effect" then makes the effect a cause...

It is well within the limitless capacity of infinity to appear as a complete universe with a history and story, without that history having actually even taken place. That’s apparently the most stunning aspect of reality, in the end — in fact you can hardly even call this reality since there’s no way to objectify it... it’s simply non-contextual everything.

There’s no such thing as a most absolute level... it’s all relative 


“Any kind of consciousness whatever, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, far or near — a disciple of mine sees all consciousness as it actually is with proper wisdom thus: ‘This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.’” - the Tathāgata

There isn't relatively either. Just concepts placed on top THIS..
