Yes, but what i am asking you is why form appears ? Why don't we remain formless ? Why is emptiness form ?Dennis Mahar wrote:a display of nature, appearance.
You seem to make some kind of distinction between who/motive and who/psyche. Or between "psychology of the who" and "field of possibilities". This is a meaningless distinction, made by you and then abolished by you. And then revealed it was meaningless to begin with! And of course it is. But did this exercise solve anything?Dennis Mahar wrote:Sherlock knew motive was key to arrive at the who. He wanted the who. He didn't dwell on the psychology of the who that generated the motive. Sherlock used inference or constructed models for possible suspects and these models didn't find the who, they only narrowed the field of possibilities. He looked for opportunity, who was where and when: deduction.

No,
I just want to know the truth. Why do you say there are no reasons for the formless to form?
Have you ever read the Buddhas explaination?
We were once composed of clear light. Google the Agganna Sutta.
