Re: [OPE] mirror theory (for Howarde)

Hi Dogen,

Thanks very much for this. However, it doesn't
establish mirror theory; it establishes that we
appropriate the things of the world in thought
and that the arrow goes from the world to the
brain. Mirror theory says more than that. It
says what the brain receives is a mirror image of
the world. That's a very different
proposition. We don't need mirrors; we need only
an information processing system to guide
practice. I hope before long to be able to
return to this conversation, which we have certainly not completed.

Thanks,

Howard
