The nature of illusion.

Effect reality / relative reality,

is core reality/ absolute reality, as long as effect reality isn't ignoring core reality.

Illusion is illusion, only while it ignores reality and attempts to replace reality.

When it acknowledges reality it's equally real as a sub level of reality.

Problem with Adyashanti. Am I the only one?

Hello,

I finished the introductionary course yesterday. Sam harris is so good to listen to.

Started to "after the introductionary course" playlist.

First meditation is Adyashanti's foundational meditation. But he speaks like an m61 vulcan gatling gun

Tatatatatatata without giving a break

Calm down for a second wont you? Ok I get this is guided meditation. But he doesnt give any pause like Sam for us to meditate at all. Dude speaks nonstop. First meditation that I couldn't finish I guess.

ELI5 what does it mean people see "nothing" rather than "black void" if born absolutely blind

I heard someone say how people born absolutely 100% blind don't see "black void, complete lack of light" but see "nothing, they see how you see with your elbow".

How would someone born completely blind be able to explain whether they "only see black" or "see nothing" in the first place?

If they don't have anything to compare what they perceive to, if it never changes, how would they explain it as black void or nothing? If they never saw a black object and had people tell them "this is color black".

Is it "nothing" or actually a "black void" they don't have any name for and are used to?
