isnt the name mind just a concept created by the mind? does the mind create itself, trick itself into thinking that it exists? is it all an illusion??

what is this question that "i" am asking?
surely if all existence is a figment of my imagination then "i" already know the answer making the question irrelevant?

are we simply playing out a duality here so that we have a reference point, some context, from which to subjectively experience ourself and come to a more profound sense of that which we truly are?

are you unable to predict your next move based on your previous experiences? isnt that what we are.. the sum total of our experiences to date, and our opinions and ideals? take away that and what would you have left? (

take away the "i" that is wanting to take away those experiences, opinions and ideals, too..)
