Admitting that you do not see the truth is one thing, but saying that someone else can't know it is another. Not only is it a contradiction as I've already explained, but it is irresponsible to speak about that which you do not know.

It's as simple as identifying something and defining it therein, a thing is what it is. It can't be any other way.

I'm not talking about an independent consciousness, I'm talking about a consciousness that is free from delusion, i.e. false beliefs.
