The principles of Madrianaism are in direct contradiction to Buddhism, and many people regard Buddhism as definitive, and anything that contradicts it is proven wrong because it contradicts Buddhism.
The Buddhists regard intellect as illusion because it relates to forms, and it states that all forms are illusion. Their concept of absolute reality is a state beyond form. This would imply that this state is non-existence. the Buddhists deny this. What, then, is this state? They say it cannot be put a name to, and no concept relates to it.
This makes it difficult to examine, and they hold that any attempt to examine it is proof that you do not understand it, but let us hold to logic about it. If all forms are illusion, then there can be no form in absooute reality. Therefore it contains nothing. Buddhism is nihilism.
They state that illusory existence is caused by the intellect, which discriminates between subject and object, and causes separate existence. Well, this explains how I exist, but it does not explain how other people exist, in all therir millions, and all things, animate and inanimate. Buddhism explains nothing. It is a means of winning arguments by being evasive and indefinate. True creation involves forms in perfect harmony with creation and each other.
There is also the fact that, in order to start discriminating, there had to be something to discriminate. that means that forms had to exist before separation from the spirit. These forms must have logical inter-reltionships and causative principles, which means that the rational intellect, far from being the evil it is held to be, is an important means of spiritual development.
