The flame is what Is through every experience of it, the sum of all and nothing really, but a 'flame' is what we 'think' it is because that is the communal language and perceptual agreement on a universally subjective and relatively repeatable experience. It is only through knowing what the flame is not that the flame can be known and it is only through knowing what the flame is that what is not the flame can also be know, but that's just an intellectual and linguistic distinction that is not reality. To say the flame is what we see, feel, or smell is to label sections of passing water in a river or spots of water in a pond, through our minds breaking the glass of an unbroken mirror. A 'flame' is a shard of glass, a flame is the mirror, I'm the mirror, your the mirror, were all the mirror.
