Even though language and concepts do appear in a dream, they spontaneously dissolve in the dream because ego identity, which attaches to and claims to be cause of the thought or concept via apprehension of the same, is much weaker when it arises in a dream, and just as the ego experiences itself as permanent, the thoughts and concepts ego claims to be the cause of, are experienced as permanent. In a dream, when perceived phenomena are not attached to the ego identity, continuity of meaning caused by ego attachment to language and concepts detaches. Impermanence experienced.
My unbornness-channeling conduit is choked up with self particles. This leads me to think that this idea is wrong because, according to its own logic, its meaning is impermanent. I know it's hard for one such as you, but could you possibly muster up enough ego-wrong to produce a bad karma object code that makes it more perspicuous to a non-existent-but-illusory-appearance-generating body-mind construct like myself?
A method of bringing about the direct experience of emptiness is to acclimate the body to the non-dual experience of the cessation of thought. This can be accomplished with formal seated meditation.
So we can experience non-duality by using dualities to get rid of other dualities? Please explain how that works.
This non-attachment lies outside the limitations of the conceptual mind, though the conceptual mind can engage in techniques that to lead up to the non-attachment.
Wow, so our minds can transport us to a plane beyond this world of hurt if we perform some techniques?
I've never heard anything so outrageous and yet utterly amazing in my life!! What are these techniques?! Tell me more!
Certainly conceptual mind is necessary for transmission of information, and for fitting direct non-dual experience of emptiness into a hierarchical conceptual structure.
We need duality to directly experience something that cannot be directly experienced dualistically? May I be illuminated further?
Emptiness can also be experienced dualistically via an intellectual apprehension of phenomena’s dependant nature whenever attention is moved to focus on this.
So emptiness, which is beyond any attribute, can be experienced as the attribute of dependence in phenomena? This spirituality thing gets better and better!
