Apparently you (movingalways) are attempting to stir up a disagreement where none exists. Very well.
I make statements of that which I have become aware. No more, no less. Yours to accept or to reject. No more, no less.
“Existence precedes logic” does not mean “you precede you.”
What you have missed in my statements about existence and you is that you ARE existence, so when you say that existence precedes logic, you are indeed saying that "existence precedes logic" means "you precede you."

One can create confusion by mixing references to absolute and relative.
How can one mix references to "absolute", when there are no reference points in "absolute?" And being that there are no reference points in "absolute", there is no way to reference "absolute" with "relative." Reference points exist in the relative, but they are temporal-spatial reference points with no permanent substance and/or essence.
Logic or its lack does affect relative conditions that pertain to relative existence.
It is because of assumption (logic) that relative conditions exist, yes.
So does eggplant, or its lack.
"Eggplant" is alive in man's awareness because of assumption that there is a logical beginning and ending of life, yes, and that this belief in a beginning and ending of life gives rise to the relativity of "eggplant" in man's awareness.
In saying “I am God” distilled to “I Am” distilled to “Am” (once attachment to ego identification is no more), you are referencing the absolute.
I am not referencing the "absolute" for reasons stated above, I am aware of the unconditioned thought reality of me (I Am).
Whether or not you identify with the absolute so absolutely that you are incapable of disengaging your attachment to that identification, in able to discuss the relative in terms of relative conditions, is evidence of inflexibility with the gift of thought, don’t you think? Yes, I get it. You’re God. Come down from the throne for a bit to appropriately discuss relative conditions and absolute being within meaningful contexts.
What you present here is the thought process of coming to the boundary of one's senses and declaring this boundary to be the beginning or and ending of you (I Am). And why man continues to believe that he can discuss "absolute being" within meaningful contexts. He cannot, for anything he says about "absolute being" that does not state the truth that he can say nothing of "absolute being" (for he sits not on the throne of absoluteness so as to pontificate about his absoluteness) is but foolish chatter, foolish chatter that keeps man enslaved to his foolish chatter.
For instance:
Logic led to inventions that heat dwellings in the winter. A heated home in cold weather affects relative existence, as does lack of heat.
What you call logic, I state as being a directive by one's conscience of awareness to "form a dwelling of heat so as to be warm." It is man's vanity that believes he is the creator of an "invention" called a dwelling. Now who thinks they are God?
:)
Logic led to cultivation of eggplant. Eggplant is a plant which affects relative existence as nutrition, pretty purple colors to appreciate, a shape that could be useful depending on one’s personal inclinations, and the quality of ambiance in close quarters, depending on one’s capacity to digest eggplant.
Again, you call it logic, I say it is by the Law of the Spirit of Life, which is one with your awareness of you, that directed your awareness of you (I and my awareness of the eggplant are one) to cultivate your awareness of you as "eggplant." As for my personal inclinations with regards to my being one with my sense awareness with "eggplant", I ain't telling!
;)
However, heat and eggplant do not determine absolute existence. They merely affect the relative conditions of relative existence.
What your intellect calls "heat" and "eggplant" do not determine absolute existence, for awareness of "heat" and "eggplant" emanates from absolute existence (again your words; what I am aware of is the metaphor of the unconditioned Mind or of Pure Awareness).
In fact everything, even our knowledge of the universe, proceeds from "Am." "Am" precedes all that is inferred.
Our sense knowledge emanates
from "Am", yes, but not everything
of Am is man's sense knowledge.
Inference flows from mind interpretations of sensory stimuli. Remove the stimuli and "Am" remains.
Bingo!!
:) Am remains when the sense stimuli is removed, but without the sense reference that you have identified as being necessary for mind's interpretations, how can mind continue to reference "Am?"
