' Appearing in Consciousness '...

”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."
