I'm inclined to the view that subject/object is merely a linguistic mechanism,a grammatic conceit The word grammar originally refered to magic,as does the word spell,and even the word 'word' itself -enchantment etc.are all related to the beleif (said to be an obsolete aristotelian category) that the world is created by the word The big Bang theory was proposed by a Christian monk trying to reconcile modern scientific data w/ Genesis I prefer to think of it as Shiva's drumbeat . I think we create our sense of a seperation between ourselves and the the World.or Cosmos by our linguistic categories.Bhuddism has alot of techniques for recognizing ways in which mental constructs such as beleifs,categories,languages and symbol systems etc.function as lenses that distort the input,when emplyed in a habitual unconscious way'
