So if a person isn't here "now' that means that they do not exist?
If a 'person' came to presence (now) it would die. Presence is your absence. The 'person' would be raptured, the 'person' would be no more and the kingdom would be revealed as oneness is realized.
Then there are no persons, no anythings.
Just this.
Don't get me wrong, it is the same and quite ordinary. Really ordinary but wonderful.

This is where you always lose me. You say that there are no things, and yet clearly there are.

Philosophy is existential masturbation. No demand, no investment. Philosophy is a 20 minute porn clip that won't be there when you need someone to talk to. It's fascinating, but in your deepest levels of ongoing perception, you know that it's not real. Just clever intellectual manipulations, and not much else.
