"You can say, for example, it is salty. But what if the word salty hadn't been created?"
Then you'd drink some water and shake your head! and think in your head, "uga booga drink tink sink!"
"His perception didn't make much of a difference, unless our perception of the World made him die(we think he'll die, so he does), but in his perception he went on to another perception(after-life) in which he could fly, as if he never died. Maybe he reincarnated as a bird?"
ANy response to that? I always wondered if the insane's world's could metaphysically be called an alternate dimension of sorts, in which their are other "Souls and spirits" so to speak. That they aren't really caught in Dilussions of fake invisible people, per se, but that they are experiencing a reality outside of our consciousness.
And if so, is there a set of anatomical rules there as well, does he have to eat there or suffer here? Does dying there put him in a coma, or rip him to another dimension? Does dying here necessarily destroy his existence in another, or does his concsciousness remain.
In effect, that perceptions really are the driving force, and only cause and definition have arranged our structure. That a rock is a rock because it thinks it's a rock, and a human is a human because they think they are a human. Like a gravity pulling molecules or spirit of similar taste together to incarnate as a persona of their individual desires and energy. That negative effects in a lifetime are prearranged and ordained by scripted confliction of said energies(some may gravitate as a human towards being an astronaut, some as a vetrenarian, so the confliction causes certain negative effects, and not just the obvious career decision, but the entire path).
Christian's go to heaven or hell, buddhists are reincarnated till they reach enlightenment and cease to exist but their energies depart and gather anew(rebirth!) until the density of buddha enlightened energies reach the point that all creation is in bliss and the entire buddhist universe is rebirthed as well and simply ceases here, and hindus eat rocks with einstein and laugh at how rivers flow upside-down.
