Suppose, Bill, I told you I had seen a strawman. What picture would youo generate? Suppose further, I told you the strawman was perfectly circular? Would that change the picture? If I added that the strawman believed itself to be impenetrable?

Inducing beings to make pictures is no big feat--it's one of their most common addictions. You can do it with words in the best Skinnerian S_R method, or you can do it with thoughts alone, if somewhat less reliably.

But if you were to seek--as the Zen master often prescribes--to notice only the beingness generating the pictures, and none of the pictures themselves, and if you were to succeed, then mirabile dictu, satori would be yours. Instant dharma, maan!!
