How does one decide meaning is absent? It just means that no-one other than you decides what anything means. Weeeelll in a particular instance if one encounters a paradox ("There is no distinction between I and separate I") in the natural course of thinking and expression then one has encountered an absence of meaning.

He's saying the absence of meaning does not signify the presence of something called meaninglessness. I know, I was making a joke about semantics. All there is is presence, so whether an object is absent or present has no bearing on that presence. It was apparently an inside joke for my eyes only. In case you didn't notice you got me to shut up completely for a whole post! Even better than a laugh, woudln't you say??

That's a great example of why I should stay close to my experience instead of my mind.

Wadayamean? nevermind ... missed what you meant at first .. I get it, meaning is subjective
