Hello Srivijara. I don't think everyone ADMITS to experiencing a "reality" in which appearances arise and exist on their own level of interaction. What I mean is, in the context of a previous post, people experience the sensation of a continuously existing "self" but not everybody admits it.

You are confusing self-view with awareness, and equivocating the two into an irrelevant wilderness of confusion.

I think you CAN test this "things are empty of inherent existence" theory out all the time and see it for yourself.
Whenever conditions arise, you can try it. Having "Inherent existence" means arising unconditionally. Again, this is simply irrelevant equivocation. You can certainly define your "inherent existence of phenomena" as "arising unconditionally", but it is irrelevant to the Buddhadhamma.

Blah blah blah....

I don't understand how people find this speculative at all. Defining "inherent existence" with this equivocation of "arising unconditionally" is a speculative view. It is also completely irrelevant to the Dhamma. And to this subforum.
