Need I point out that babies and lights and "anything" are words and
thoughts? It seems you're saying without language and thoughts there would
be no experience and no reality, a dubious proposition unless one believes
the universe began with the first experiencing human being. Surely there
is something without the divisions we find necessary in order to describe
our experiences.
Where have I gone wrong in interpreting what you say?
