Argh! In my absence I have missed an opportunity to debate with someone's counter to my statement

<br /><br />The thing about this whole theory of doves which confuses me is the invisible line between physical existence and concept which also seems to be creeping into some other posters' thoughts (whether they know it or not

).<br /><br />I suppose my main argument to this would be that if you become a "dove" in someone else's mind after they create a memory of you, you do not exist solely in their mind. You continue to create many other doves as you maintain contact with them and go on to create doves in others' minds as well. Also, if you only exist in their mind, then you presumably did not exist prior to that and they would never have met you

<br /><br />Or am I so lost that I no longer understand the thesis?<br /><br />If
I am right, you are always free, but you are creating infinite clones which live their lives in cages... which is a sad thought :'(
