""If eyes can see then lanterns can see". And exactly how could anyone unfamilliar with the sutra possibly know the part about the mind? Taken alone this has a totally different meaning.

Language and context are very important when you are trying to make a point."

Fortunately in this day and age we have something called a paragraph, I know it's new and all, but all the cool kids are doin git! It involves sentences, more than one, clumped together. Why? Who knows. The sentences have nothing to do with eachother, they are random spurts of thought directed towards confusing and confusing people more.
Capitol letters? By God. Nobody has ever used those for sarcasm or some kind of joke before. Thank God we've resolved that issue. LANTERS CAN SEE.

"Jesus Christ reanactment there. It's the part where he's talking about how the EYEs don't see it's the MIND. And that if Eyes see Lanterns could see. LANTERNS COULD SEE."
"He was talking about perceptions as far as I know"
""When you close your eyes do you still see? You see the darkness or the light beyond your eyelids, so is it your eyes that see? No it's your mind. In the same manner when you light a lantern in the dark is it the lantern that sees for you?""

that is in chronological order, i think the problem is I left it open ended. You know, like a puzzle, where it takes imagination and the brains of a three year old to figure out that the blue star doesn't fit into the Red Square spot. Or the flinestone phone doesn't call betsy if you call fred. I apologize. It's my fault.

Maybe I should outline my statements though. The mind Sees.
Not the Eyes.
The eyes do not see.
Let's suppose I said if the eyes could see, so could a lantern. Good thing I used the word if. Also a good thing I previously indicated that it is the mind that sees.
So let's show this mathmatically.
Seeing=mind. We'll call this S=M. Then there's Eyes=(crossthroughtheequalsign)see. then there Eyes=lantern. That's right. The eyes and the lantern fall under the same category. Seeing as how the eyes don't see, as stated, then the lantern(as being equal to the eyes) do not see as well. eye+lantern=confusing you. Mind=Perceptions. Perceptions. I think I said that word. Didn't I. I didn't use a paragraph this whole time. I hope it confuses you.

You can continue this pointless debate if you want, I'll even say you were right by arguing to agree.
