1. There is no thing in itself.
2. This is a principle thus a thing.
3. A contradiction occurs thus necessitating "no thing in itself" as non existent as it is empty.
4. "There is no thing in itself" however exists as a principle thus no thing in itself simultaneously exists.
5. There is both "no thing in itself" and "a thing in itself".
6. Reality is thus empty forms conducive to a loop within a loop where the loop is empty and thus contains further loops or empty forms within empty forms.
6. The form within the form necessitates empty forms as a perpetual middle thus an underlying substance occurs, reality thus has an essense as a thing in itself. Top

You didn't have to start a new topic just to say all that you know that right?.

Maya-el, I am sure 9x having over 1,400 posts being an Elder and Prestige/VIP would know when to post as a new topic or continuation. I on the other hand as a newbie haven't got the foggiest when to post a new thread or where to put one (but I am learning) but I know 9x and other 'elders' would help me out and with kindness of words.

Moribus Facit Hominem Lorac, I was intrigued by your use of a Latin phrase. I searched for it and found a wrong translation, namely, 'Manners make the man' since the phrase does not have a subject. Do you know its source? I suspect it was taken out of a context, like "...makes Man out of manners/customs". ( To say "customs make man", I would say, "Mores faciunt hominem" or 'de moribus homo factus' . No matter. What were you trying to say?)

Moribus Facit Hominem Im sure that you didn't take what i said at face value. And so with good intentions we help the fire by trying to put it out with sticks . malum discordiae

>>>1. There is "no thing in itself".<<<
Agreed.
>>>2. This as a universal principle is a "thing in itself".<<<
Agreed.
>>>3. There is no "no thing in itself".<<<
Agreed.
>>>4. This is defined through other phenomenon thus is "no thing in itself".<<<
Ahhh, what?.
>>>5. The loop between "no thing in itself" and "no no thing in itself" necessitates both exist.<<<
As mental concepts yes.
>>>6. Thus Being is empty forms but the containing of these forms through other forms necessitates being as full of empty forms like a circle containing a circle.<<<
What? Ummm no? A circle is to simple to use as a metaphorical example for all of reality I'm still trying to figure out where you're pulling this magic rabbit of correlation out of because I'm just not seeing how you come to the conclusion that you do?.
>>>7. Being is simultaneously empty and full.<<<
Depends on what you mean by that. My stomach is empty and i need to go fill it but I am made of material substance which is something and not no-thing.

When I wrote this saying, I meant it to mean “Politeness and Etiquette are what prevents us from falling into savagery” to me “Politeness” meaning both written and verbal. How we are educated by our parents, life and school defines how we use language etc. thus I cannot give you links every time I use a certain phrase or custom. Though, the nearest I can give you is the sense of what I meant so follow the link. Malum Discordiae translated means “bad discord/object which shows dissention and anger” I show no anger/intent to cause discord on my part with the use of ‘Manners maketh Man’ Face value???...of course I took it at face value. www.bookbrowse.com/expressions/detail/index.cfm/expression_number/566/manners-make-the-man-manners-maketh-man

There bird can only be observed through another phenomenon such as a tree or house. 5. All of reality is reducible to mental concepts yet are not limited to mental concepts. 6. One form in itself is empty, this empty form contains other forms which are empty.... like a circle within a circle. A form as nothing in itself necessitates the form as empty on it's own terms. It exists through other forms, but these forms as dependent upon further forms are empty forms to. Each form as empty exists through another form which is empty, yet the continuum of forms necessitates forms as existing. Reality is thus empty forms within empty forms much like an empty circle contains an empty circle yet all circles as empty necessitate the circle as containing both emptiness and other circles as forms. An empty form within an empty form reflects being as both empty of forms and full of forms at the same time. 7. The stomach cannot exist without the other organs thus in itself is empty of it independent existence. See response to point 6.

Can you explain exactly what you mean by reflection ? The mirroring of a phenomenon and inverting it into another phenomenon.
