Which came first eyes or sight?
Eyes we say because without eyes we can't see.
However if we could not see what would our eyes mean to us?
Surely it is because we can see that we go in search of the wonderful organs and processes that enable us to explain how we see.
After all if we did not have sight how could we see the eyes!
The same goes for all the senses. Surely it is our experiences which come first, because without our experiences how could we know about the senses!
Our Mind comes first is the lessons.
I will argue later that the real answer is that neither the experience nor the eyes come first! Rather it is a very profound kind of Mind which comes first - beyond both sense and thought.
(q.v. the story of the monks arguing over the moving flag)
A search for happiness in poverty. Happiness with personal loss, and a challenge to the wisdom of economic growth and environmental exploitation.
