Yes, I love engima's and other kinds of unresolved mysteries, yet at the same time, I am not much into solving particular mysteries perse; I try to focus, as I think you do, on what is the most important aspect that helps deliver a better understanding of the whole. I chose this thread because understanding the phenomenon of nothing is the first step in understanding how everything fits together. The name of the thread — Theory of Nothing — got my attention the first time I saw it.
What has been quite interesting for me was to follow how you and Lloyd were, from my point of view, saying many similar things, while appearing to disagree with each other a lot; your and his focus were just in different spots, but the overall pictures you presented to each other were not truly in conflict. I enjoyed reading how you came to more or less agreeing terms, while at the same time, you may still feel you are disagreeing. The contributions made by others, and hopefully mine as well, only added some excellent spice to us all giving a spot of importance (or not) to the phenomenon of Nothing.
As you know, Nobody, negation plays an important role in the pyramidic model, and that is also the spot where I place my focus — not on something new to uncover, but on all that already is. Even with a perfectly executed TOE engimas will remain, for TOEs are only overall vehicles, they don't tell us the number of grains of sand on the beach, Wednesday, three o'clock. In the same spirit, I like to mention that I regard our reality as the highest possible reality. Even when on the other side of the material screen we find god, several gods or just our beloved deceased ones — existing in a more pure fashion than we exist here — this would still be the highest level of reality. I cherish it, and some of the places I do focus are the spots where we are not dealing well with what we've got. I don't need to make a list of all the aspects of early 21st Century problems, but I would rather see resolutions there than reading about scientific proof of engimas that have been pleasurable for many generations. Engimas are part of life, and when resolved, new ones will pop up. It is no enigma to me why I chose this thread: you made it too attractive not to participate.
