   What makes the mantra true or false?   
      
   Is it not believing the mantra is true or false?   
      
   Why agonize over it being some alleged objective   
   reality or another when it's clearly merely what   
   it's believed to be?

   What is "a point"? From the context (which   
   includes the reader's beliefs about the meanings   
   of the words used), "a point" is sounding like   
   "a way to put - aka re-present - it".   
      
   Does saying    
   equals  ever   
   accomplish much save in mind, which is (haha)   
   arguably hallucination?
