Does mind make a movie-like reality?

10/25/2020

 
​Question:  Does the Mind-that-is-All make substance? If not, because there can be no substance, does the Mind make a kind of a movie type reality in which all operates perfectly as if there were substance and its laws?
 
Response:  You are making a number of assumptions here, but you seem to be pointing in the right direction.  I will assume that what you mean by “Mind-that-is-All” (which is not how I would characterize Mind), is what I refer to as “Mind” in The Grand Delusion.  So, I assume you are asking, “Does Mind make substance?”  It does not, but not because “there can be no substance.”  Strictly speaking, Mind doesn’t make a movie-like reality, either.  It doesn’t make anything.  As Huang Po put it, “There is only the One Mind and not a particle of anything else on which to lay hold….”
