how does that follow from a statement that thinking---an embodied process---precedes the "i" (in any particular configuration, any particular situation) ---that "the mind is eternal"?
i mean outside of a superimposing of a buddhist frame onto another?
i ask because it just as easily points to a range of processes that underpin cognition--which you might think of as the pushing of sense-data through the grid of language structures. so a statement like "i see x..." is a result, not a description of the actions implied by it (see what i mean? i can try to be clearer when i have a minute, which i don't now...)
