Mind is a precondition of Existence. To exist is to have presence to the Mind. To have presence to the Mind is to be an object of conscious experience. For any conceivable purpose, Existence can be established once it becomes REALITY OF THE MIND!
The Mind may presume the source of experience and validation to lie outside of itself. As it often does, it may project outwards the presumption of a primary OBJECTIVE PRESENCE.
This common act represents self-negation, because a presumption of Existence outside of the Self is forever unverifiable. As soon as the very concept of an outside presence is formed, it immediately becomes the domain of the Mind.
Even when embracing the concept of its own non-existence the Mind has sufficient basis for self-affirmation, strictly by virtue of holding a concept. However, it often does not recognize this basic consequence.
It is not the informative content of a concept that is truly significant; it is the fact of its presence. It is not what the elements signify by HOW they are assembled but rather what they signify by the fact that they ARE.
Presence to the Mind has two aspects: one of FORM and one of ESSENCE. Form may or may not negate essence, but essence always validates form. Form is implicit and symbolic while ESSENCE is absolute and self-referential.
If ANYTHING at all, therefore CONCEPT; if CONCEPT, therefore MIND; if MIND, therefore SELF; if SELF, therefore REALITY; if REALITY, therefore AN ABSOLUTE!
You may take a piece of chalk and write on the blackboard that chalks and blackboards do not exist, but it is only through their existence that you would be expressing this fallacy.
The chalk and the blackboard constitute the ABSOLUTE ESSENCE by virtue of their existence. The message written by their means results only secondarily from the specific FORM they assume - one of many possible forms, as many combinations of words and letters can result from chalk and blackboard meeting in the act of writing. The words written on the blackboard may indicate an agreement with the ESSENCE, or they may posture against it. In either case the ESSENCE remains unaltered.
