then what about this?



and this:
What about it Element?

I think in these suttas the Buddha is teaching that when the sense organs cease, the world perceived via the sense organs also ceases. That doesn't necessarily mean that there is no "world" outside of our sensory experiences. The rupa element exists irrespective of our perceptions of it. When the Buddha taught "the all" he taught about the world experienced via the senses because that is the scope relevant to cessation of suffering. That doesn't necessarily mean that the universe is only a subjective reality.
