When you know there is no physical matter in me. When u know that my body is just massless particles of energetic information packets  whizing in space, intermingled with trillions that you don&#8217;t feel or see.<br \/>\nWhat would I look like if you could see all those particles, all those packet of information  ?  Would you be able to even define my physicality ? Or would I have absolutely no contained, induvidual physical form.<br \/>\nHow limited must your perception be to be able to define me.<br \/>\nSo u think you know me by my emotions, my thoughts ?  Knowing that your interpretation of my emotions are only defined through the prejudiced prism of your own judgement of yourself.<br \/>\nSo you think you know me  by what I do ? By my acts ?  Knowing that there is no act so pure that it is fact. That all acts are merel  interpretations of events.<br \/>\nDo you think you know me by having observed me ? Knowing that here is no observation so pure that it does not judge the observed.  Once again through the imperfect eyes of the observer.<br \/>\nDo you think you know me by sensing the results of my actions ?  Knowing that every potential event has as much an induviduality as you and I ?<br \/>\nSo here&#8217;s the paradox.  The more u define me, the more you limit  and narrow your perception of me, the more real I become to you.   So if you stopped defining me, limiting me, would I cease to exist for you ?  Or would we see ourselves as pure consciousness ?<br \/>\nShekhar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How limited must your perception be, to say you know me ?
