Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Wow, cawboy! Easy on the nihilism pedal. We don't want to scare any believers here. We are in mix company, and although true, that those not ready for prime time will think we talk nonsense, caution is best when positing an ultimate nothingness. This nothing we talk about is not your garden variety, but a very exotic plant. It's the 1=0=1 kind, a nothing/one identical twins, now you see it, now you don't thing. It's constantly flickering from nothing to something and back again and in this fashion appears as the many. This is not only true in the realm of nonduality, but in cosmology as well. In the perfect vacuum irregularities flicker, as discontinuities of nothingness-- virtual particles, energy fields which give raise to the primal trinity of proton, neutron, electron. And we all know how that unfolds into multiplicity via the atom and its 99 varieties. So it's the same old story- the One regarding itself, sees nothing, when it looks away sees the Other, the many. When it looks again could see none, or one. It's a hide and seek game. But, surly, I have over-explained. Se la vie, se las mots. ) Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
