    Oh, ok... I thought you said "I've many forms, and none, depends on perspective" So, I thought it depended on something else...
    Perspective is relative, there has been a lot of talk on that, in the forums, good to have you here.

    and we are seperated by space,
    We are seperated only by what you accept as 'seperation', to the extent you believe what 'ego/thought' presents... 'I' and universe are one, seamlessly, each and every moment of existence.

    then nothing seperates us, or nothing connects us.
    There can be no 'no-thing' to do anything, by definition.
    Nothing is no-'thing'; no-'thing' to seperate anything, no-'thing' to connect anything. Ultimately, there are no 'things', there are concepts of 'things'...
    Each moment a complete and seamless tapestry of existence.

    Do you mean the egoic image? Do you mean in any specific moment? Of what identity di you speak? In a moment when i am a parent, for instance, my identity, to many Perspectives would be 'a father'. At other moments, a 'blacksmith', or another moment might reveal a mystic.. What Identity do you mean? I am, beyond the appearances, Conscious Perspective, as are you. That 'Self' is not different from moment to moment...


    ...and is who I Am. There is nothing to which to attach that is not gone a moment later. That seems to be the basis of Buddha's teaching about attachment being a cause of suffering; all things, all moments, all universes, all lovers, all bodies, all existence is passing, momentarily...
    To what passing star 'should' I 'attach to'? To what fleeting dream? And why? Is something 'wrong' with Now!? Here!? Is anything other than what 'is', possible? Never been any evidence in support.
    To 'attach' to a dream... What an odd notion. To 'attach', meaning to 'identify with'? A;; concepts in mind are just that, concepts. 'Should' i identify with a 'concept' and not another?
    The universe is uniquely different, from moment to moment, as am the manifested 'I'. To what must I 'cling' that will not pass?
    What nonsense is this?


    Woah there cowboy! This tells me waaay too much.
    First, that you feel that you have somehow learned enough of what I might think and feel that you feel comfortable in this categorization/judgement of my 'mind', 'set' or not. Personally I thibnk that any 'mind-set' is death of critical thought and enter a 'belief'. In which of my word or two do you find sufficient data for your wildly assertive statment. Your assumption, as are so many assumptione, is erroneous. You might just keep an eye on my posts, learn and understand what I might offer, and after a hundred hours or so, than judge if you must. But this? This is more of a premature ejac than an accurate and supported attempted 'ad hom'?


    Really? Unlike you? Are you saying that you are "able to perceptually cognize the truth about reality"? Perhaps you can instruct me on "the truth about reality" before I post anything further and make more of a fool of myself than I, obviously, already have?
    You could define what you mean by 'truth' for instance? Just so I know what you are talking about.
    And then, perhaps, a short definition of 'reality'? Again, so I can understand your 'teaching'.


    As would everyone here, I'd imagine, considering the nature of the site...
    Nice to meet you.
    Lets see what we might learn, here, together.
    See ya
    Peace

    Hi nameless....as you can see from my Avatar...I am an ant so this post was like a shoe coming down to crush me...luckily I sensed the shadow so I quickly rushed to that tiny space between the raised sole of your shoe and the flat part....wow, close call...smiles....I sped out of a tiny crack and rushed to safety....lol....

    Great meeting ya....by the way I am not a cowboy...I am a cowgirl.....smiles....

    (I shall be careful of where i tread! *__- )
    I noticed your feminine claim on your profile, after the 'cowboy' remark. I usually make no distinctions in my responses and posts that are gender based. The words presented either speak to me or not, have meaning or no, 'inspire' a response or not...
    Again, nice to meet you
    See ya around
    Peace

    Re: Hello, I'm nameless

    Another "thing" about Nothing (no-thing) is that "it" is not there. Suppose that a black hole was "nothing" since C=0, not that it really is. If spacetime were a fabric, also debatable, but let's say for now, then the "nothing" would be like a hole in a curtain.

    As "nothing" can't exist, it's more of a phenomenon, as when we block light and create a "shadow".

    At any rate, we sure do seem to be separated by distance.

    I may get "nothing" in my Xmas stocking this year. I'll see what I can do with it.

    No 'it' to not be there! *__-

    So 'nothing' shimmers into existence as a 'hole'; 'it/nothing' is now 'something'...

    As "nothing" can't exist,
    Of course it does. Everything exists!
    First, in your sentence, as bolded, is one context in which "nothing" exists. As a word on the monitor.
    Perhaps you have some associated 'notion/concept/definition' of the "nothing" to which you refer. That is one more context in which "nothing" exists. Your 'hole' notion, is another context.
    That "everything exists; existence is contextual." - Book of Fudd (90:2:10)
    ... is what a bloody Occam's razor has revealed to me.

    At any rate, we sure do seem to be separated by distance.
    A matter of Perspective, to be sure. Some see no 'seperation' from the universe as perceived/manifested, some feel quite isolated from everything other than their egoic 'self' image. Some even feel isolated from themselves! Lots of (sum-total of all) Perspectives (us) give the complete picture of 'existence' (at the moment perceived).

    I may get "nothing" in my Xmas stocking this year. I'll see what I can do with it.
    With all your experience imagining 'nothing' as 'something', I feel sure that you will manage something interesting with whatever you might find.
    Happy holidays
    Peace

    This is why there are quotes around it. Yes, nothing is not anything there.

    There is no existence for nothing. Nothing means not to be. A hole or a nothing or a shadow is merely the absence of a something.


    Of course it does. Everything exists!
    First, in your sentence, as bolded, is one context in which "nothing" exists. As a word on the monitor.


    Yes, the word "nothing" exists as a word.


    No- thing was in my stocking… darn.


    Here is nothing:



    Did you see it? Of course not. Ain't anything there.

    There were no quotes around 'it'. It was 'it' to which I referred. Nevertheless, it(!) appears that we are on the same page here.
    I don't really care for the semantic games that seem to arise around phrases such as the 'existence of nothing'.
    Everything exists.

    'Nothing' is perfect, but not very interesting!"
