Hi Platt,

wait, did I say thoughts are illusions? I suppose 'my thoughts' could be
considered illusions, in the sense that 'me' is an illusion, but at the root
of it, the illusion that is 'me' is created by the same patterns that emerge
from an original transcendent Expectation much like (i think) Schopenhauer's
Will, the only difference being an instrinsic indeterminancy, a possibility.
Our individual thoughts and expectations are all determined by patterns
around us, that's why they correlate with each other. They aren't
arbitrary, and they can't be faked. If you expect or think something, you
can't help but expect or think it, because it comes from a transcendent
source - the shared a priori static patterns we call reality that emerge
from a priori expectation itself.
that isn't saying much, is it?
Johnny
