What if we drop the notion of Time and Space?

And what? Make up as we go along without such constraints?

Maybe this is just beyond human imagination. Uh, yeah...


Or the case of a person suffering from ‘full blown’ Alzheimer’s disease where the ‘mind’ is considered as ‘gone’ though the remaining five senses are still intact? Sounds like a "making-up-as-one-goes-along" sort of windup. And here's the pitch:

Can we than considered the mind consciousness to have left the physical body and taken on another form body? The Buddha had this to say about that sort of speculation:

"Foolish man, to whom do you know me having taught the Dhamma like this. Haven’t I taught, in various ways that consciousness is dependently arisen. Without a cause, there is no arising of consciousness. Yet you, foolish man, on account of your wrong view, you misrepresent me, as well as destroy yourself and accumulate much demerit, for which you will suffer for a long time." ]

"Mind consciousness" for the Buddha was awareness of mental functions or activities.

Of course this would not explain the case of the High Lamas who could identify the reincarnated boys assuming that they are still in full control of all their senses.
What distinction, if any, do you make between "explaining" and "making up as one goes along", please?
