If the mind is indistinguishable from the action we take in the world, then that world cannot be reduced to any names. In other words, there is no substance, no underlying ground to anything that our ongoing experience gives rise to. The only "atoms" are Adams, ie, egos, the I's in all the bodies. Enactivism calls my attention to my attention until I see that I don't see that neither inside or outside myself are there any objects. There is nothing to latch on to, nowhere to call home. No thought, no idea, no mud and no food. All is empty, all is void. (Do not mistake this for nihilism, the lack of things. This void is not a lack, but comes before there is even the thought of the need for anything else but what's already there.) Reality is a fractal and it never ends and has no beginning. Do not think about the universe as though there was once a big bang. Play along and suppose it doesn't need to start anywhere, nor does it need to go anywhere. Just pretend it was always here, always this, always YOU. It is an eternal fractal, and the life of every person is the ongoing unfolding of its mirage, of its storing of energy as memory in time (ie, matter). Light is not other than this mirage, but it is not trapped by it. It shines the way through the tunnel. It is the witness, the one who remembers. It is eternally watching itself in time. normonics' fractal: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sDjMvmSfsOc
