    Hi Johnny, Matt S.,

    J:
    > wait, did I say thoughts are illusions?

    From your post 03 March:

    "All patterns are equally as illusionary and theoretical and mystical and
    as real as any other pattern."

    But it was Matt who first introduced the idea. From his post of 1 March:

    "I've merely said thoughts (and other elements of human
    consciousness) are illusions."

    Since you are both fans of postmodernism, I assumed you agreed on
    thoughts being illusions. Of course, if this is your belief, it too is
    illusionary. This seems to confirm the postmodernist perplexity: "It's
    true that truth is an illusion."
