In reply to Zorka.

The deconstruction graph is not the same as finding the lakshana (that was not the task). In the case of a car, lakshana would be a rather complex set of descriptive words, but would not require ideas like energy, or space. On the other hand, in order to understand the idea of a car (and possible lakshana of that idea), you need to understand space, movement, etc. That gives you an insight into the mechanics of how the mind works. Lakshana is another story.

Of course, viveka is not interested in lakshana of a car. 🙂 Lakshanas of basic ideas, like time, truth or reality are much more interesting.

Dear Adrian, in Chapter 17 you write: „First, notice that you can draw a similar deconstruction graph for any „material thing“, and you’ll end up with almost identical derivate ideas (maybe one or two would be different) and the same original ideas.“
I understood (btw very logical) fact from my experiments with deconstruction graphs. However, I am puzzled. Is the task to find lakshana (discerning quality of the object) for a car or a universally valid fundament of existence (a certain original idea)?
In answers for comments to Chapter 15 you write that the graph serves the deconstruction of the concept.
Questions „What is a car?“ and „How do we know that a car is a car?“ only take me back to constructs I need to understand the idea of a car. But how do I find the lakshana of an idea of a car? Thank you very much.

🙂 No, it is not “nothing”. But, don’t try to guess. Viveka thinking is clear and direct. You see it, or you don’t. And, if you see it, you should be able not only to explain it but to defend it. 🙂

And, in the beginning, don’t be too hard on yourself. The answer to simple viveka questions sometimes takes days, weeks, or even months. Also, you should know that I am not the one to confirm or deny the correctness of the answer. It is entirely on you.

Since this is just a small taste of viveka practice, I took the liberty to tell you it is not “purpose” or “nothing”, but during the real thing, I may play the role of devils advocate and misslead you (one of the tasks of viveka practicioners is not to let themselves be misslead). 🙂

Well, I felt the “purpose” might be a concept. Could the answer be “nothing”?

There is no need for the mind to understand the idea of a “purpose” to understand the idea of a “car”.

Could the missing word under the arrow be “purpose”?

In reply to Tadej Grudnik.

Nope. You don’t have to understand “unity” to understand “a car”.

Comment on Parallel universes and spirituality by Valentino Grosso

Honestly, if we could somehow discover a method in which we can establish two stable portals with the cooperation of the spirit world, and create an energy bridge in which to fuel the portals (with physical frames for support), then the boundaries of humanity shall be lengthened by a great deal, which would finally allow us to reach our full potential and possess true free will, in a multiverse where the possibilities are virtually endless. Now if only there were a group of individuals that would be willing to assist in achieving this goal. That would be just what is required in order for the pieces to fall together.
