[QUOTE="Archived_member14, post: 141554, member: 586"] Ambarsaria ji, You must think that I’ve got a good IQ or something. But I actually get nervous when encountering numbers and equations! As a result I don’t really know what you are asking. You’d need to explain it to me some other way, and since I don’t in fact have a good IQ, a detailed explanation would be helpful. I understand that this is how you are trying to grasp the matter and it is in accordance with your particular accumulations. However I do feel that it is not right to try understanding these things by use of diagrams or equations. What is required is study of the present moment which includes recognizing any tendency to go off into intellectualizing about things. It appears to me that you are trying to get a big picture about karma or a bird’s eye view of it, which is fine if this is needed to get you interested. However it does seem like a formidable task for me to try and explain it to you in such a context. Also there is one thing you’d need to take into consideration. You will have noted that I talk a lot about ‘conditionality’. This is basically, specific types of relationships between mental and physical realities taking place at any given moment, without which the arising of those realities could not happen. There are altogether 28 of these conditions of which ‘karma condition’ is just one. Gets quite complex doesn’t it? :-) ======== C: OK for now, although I do anticipate some problem down the road, but I’d wait for that to happen before explaining more. ======== Ambarsaria: C: Birth must be mental, although as all mental realities need a physical base upon which to arise, birth too needs one and this is the ‘heart base’. ======== C: I await a more easy-to-understand version of the above. Meanwhile I’d like to point out that the physical reality such as the sense base and heart base which I’ve mentioned, are in fact so ephemeral that science won’t ever be making a statement about them. The attention of science at any given time is towards concepts which I consider to be ‘shadows of reality’, but never to reality itself. Likewise what you state about ‘virtual’, this too is concept. And of the 28 types of conditions that I mentioned above, concepts can only be ‘object condition’, which means it is the object of consciousness and nothing more. What you may have in mind are a host of experiences joined together by thought to create what is then taken to be ‘social influence’ etc., but the fact is that each one of those are actually separate instances of consciousness related to the next one by yet other types of conditions. And the conditionings involved in each one, are very specific. More importantly however, they are extremely fleeting and so if you are having some global idea as to what in fact influences what, that thought could in fact be misleading. ========== C: Again I’d need a ‘for dummies’ version about the subject. Although physics was indeed my favorite subject in school, we never even heard about quantum physics in those days. Before becoming interested in Buddhism I had read a little bit, but I don’t remember anything now. On the surface, what you cited appears to have some interesting ideas.
