I was responding to the article about impermanence in post # 311233.

And sure we CAN figure out what is true, generally speaking.  We decide to believe our senses that there is an actual puddle in front of us and act accordingly.  Maybe the puddle is not “real”, but if you get wet walking thru it, it might as well be real.  We make our best guess about what is true, and go from there.

Now if the Buddha would just ask me “Where, exactly, is your self?” “Of what components and properties does your self consist?”  I would say that myself is in my thoughts.  My thoughts are made of combinations of patterns of neurological chemical/electrical firings.  So, Mr. Buddha, don’t tell me that no one can answer these questions.
