Ethereal I am having trouble understanding your post, could you elaborate on it?
@zhereford:
If it is making an impression upon the consciousness, it exists. Otherwise, not.
Do not forget that a conception is also an impression, if i conceive of something, it too exists - because I just perceived a conception. Interesting...what if through conception all things are made real? I wonder if the reality of a thing is the reality of its self conception? (universal identity?)
The consensus for the word 'table' is not required for the thing that possesses the attributes connected with the word 'table' to be known. I know the word 'table' because of consensus - but I know the thing because of the impression it left on my consciousness (I perceived it).
