M: I do not negate the world. I see it as appearing in consciousness,
which is the totality of the known in the immensity of the unknown.
What begins and ends is mere appearance. The world can be said to
appear, but not to be. The appearance may last very long on some scale
of time, and be very short on another, but ultimately it comes to the
same. Whatever is time bound is momentary and has no reality.
Q: Surely, you see the actual world as it surrounds you. You seem to behave quite normally!
M:
That is how it appears to you. What in your case occupies the entire
field of consciousness, is amere speck in mine. The world lasts, but for
a moment. It is your memory that makes you think that the world
continues. Myself, I don't live by memory. I see the world as it is, a
momentary appearance in consciousness.
