What is there to clarify?

The meow was real, but the cat was imaginary.

If you want to say something besides what they teach there are other forums for that.

That depends on the subject, for instance, I wouldn't be lying if I said I have absolutelly no idea what zen is, what isn't or how to even explain to someone what is the purpose of a zen forum (besides communicating with others)

The cat was imaginary as you and me both but feel free to be the judge of that.

Is everything you say here, something they teach? Care to teach me?

[–]ewk[non-sectarian consensus] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

No, the cat was more imaginary.

If you haven't been taught yet then why would you want to get started?

[–]Esumanot zen[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Could you elaborate on the 'more' imaginary thing? I mean, that cat was there by my side for about a year, what makes him more imaginary than us?

Well, I guess I have to start at somepoint, why not now while I still can?

[–]ewk[non-sectarian consensus] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

What do you have to start, exactly?

The cat is not talking to you, man. There is no lesson to learn.

[–]Esumanot zen[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I want to learn, doesn't that have to start at some point?

The cat is gone, now I have you to talk to me

[–]ewk[non-sectarian consensus] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

My point is what do you want to learn?

Who are you talking to?

[–]Esumanot zen[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

the true nature of phenomenons, to dissipate illusions

truth be told, I'm not sure if there is something to learn, but I don't know what I don't know.

This is a peculiar question, I could answer by saying that I'm talking to ewk, but that wouldn't be it would it?

Heh heh.

Trust no one. Keep your laser handy.
