    'Nothing' is the background for 'everything'. You can't put a nail in "it", but you can talk about "it" forever. The irony which seems to be overlooked is "nothing seperates us, and nothing connects us". Have fun in the illusion of movement through 'not-hing'

    Re: Hello, I'm nameless

    In the dimension of physical reality I feel we are separted by incarnating into an individualized identity and a personal perceptual history strewn with experiential matters personal to my life, growth, development and personal evolution. It would be no different for you or any other living human person...

    Re: Hello, I'm nameless

    Nobody Nowhere, once now-here may now be no-where since he hasn't posted since April. His threads are still around: 'The Theory of Nothing' and 'Nobody Nowhere' or something like that. They were great threads.

    His nothing was not quite nothing since it had some kind of potential to differentiate itself. He thought that everything already happened all at once but that it took time to play out.

    This selfishness has evolved in mankind as a survival mechanism.
    Why, because the human brain got too big.
    There is an enormous power struggle going on with our own kind....it's very disturbing.
    Man is not that different from the wolf.

    But my theory is that human has evolved a ''cosmic expansive awareness''
    Yet, humans are mistaking this privileged ability to be 'vastly aware'
    for a more sinister selfish personal gain for personal power.

    Now, i see the world becoming a sick place to live.
    I MUST BE competitive, ambitious, successful,achieve,have determination,
    I must be intelligent, I must have lot's of awards, certificates,trophies,
    I must have this and that, I am power hungry,
    I am my car, I am my house, I am my girlfriend I am my job.
    I HAVE TO SURVIVE...........
    _________________________________

    Hi, Nameless ..Faceless?..You are quite right in what you are saying.

    Life is essentially ''pure aware consciousness''
    ..the assumed separate 'self' -- 'me' -- 'i' will obviously battle for survival in this no-mans wasteland.

    So in effect Every-'thing' does exist.. but 'things' are not 'things' they are No-'things'

    While awareness in it's purist latent condition is the ground of all 'things'
    and yet these 'things' are essential nothing but ideas, thoughts IN consciousness...and consciousness is not a 'thing'

    For example: Does a cat know that the mouse it caught is a mouse...NO

    There are essentially no-things .. there is just 'conscious life'
    'appearing' to No-one and AS No-thing.

    There is just ''Consciousness''
    When we look at a piece of rock or take a look at water,
    or a tree or a even your own bed that you sleep in at night.

    All these 'things' that we call 'things' are no-thing but Consciousness.

    Consciousness is Non-Local and yet NOW-HERE

    It is so plainly obvious and crystal clear.. that all there could ever be..... IS Consciousness.

    It is the conceptual 'thinking mind' that is the rat race in reality....it is always chasing its own confusion.
    The natural 'working mind' goes blank when it is not needed.

    Most people live within the thinking mind.....never discovering their natural quiescent inheritance.
    A quiescent naturalness that is their true identity.

    Mankind so mistakenly identifies with his mis-taken identity and yet unknowingly so.

    But unknowingly so or well aware, this will ultimately in the end lead to his own selfish demise and self-destruction.

    The signs are all around..if only we took off our blinders.

    To claim the earth as our own personal pleasure seeking playground, to imagine we can do as we please with a total disregard for natures law and mother earth.
    Is borderline suicidal.

    And yet....She displays a relentless tolerance to the onslaught of continuing abuse .. humans inflict on her.......

    ''The meek will inherit the earth'' ~ jesus

    Good old rat's they will rule united....hallelujah

    While pure awareness looks on in detachment.
    WE are FACELESS LIFE

    They are perceived as 'things' and therefore 'things' to the perceiver that perceives them as such. I perceive 'things' yet I know what existence is, Mind. So, I do not 'believe' the evidence of the senses; I enjoy it!

    Kinda, yeah. Berkeley put it well.


    There is just ''Consciousness''
    Consciousness/Mind, yup;
    "'Reality' must rigidly adhere to that which is in an unchanging state of omniversal permanence." -Vedas (describing perfect symmetry/Consciousness/Mind)

    Consciousness is Non-Local and yet NOW-HERE
    Hon, yer preachin' to th choir...

    It is so plainly obvious and crystal clear.. that all there could ever be..... IS Consciousness.
    Mm hmmm.... To some...

    You might appreciate these quotes that have followed me;
    "Our true nature is beyond 'thought', and can only be discerned when one abides in the present and serenely reflects the wonder of existence!"

    "The function of our mind is as a perceiver, but our thoughts find their origin in the memories of the mind's perception."

    "The true nature of mind is to perceive in receptive awareness."

    "Thought doesn't enhance the joy and beauty of life (I might disagree, specifically -n), but only removes one from the direct experience of it."

    Mankind so mistakenly identifies with his mis-taken identity and yet unknowingly so.

    I agree that life IS.. as it is 'arising' in this only moment now.
    As always as 'complimentary opposites' balancing and reshaping every moment a-new.
    Creation is born unique and brand new in every second.

    .. and that it is completely perfect in every moment..
    just as it is..as it should be, and that it will never be any different.

    Perception is in the eye of the beholder, that can never change.

    There is nothing wrong with us as humans, there is nothing wrong with the world.

    Thank you for raising that awareness, and reminding me of that perfect truth.

    Also sorry to this ToeQuest .. for the ''Preaching''

    It's just that sometimes i forget to be 'Dispassionate' when passion spontaneously arises through me.

    I was talking about the rats inheriting the earth ..not meek humans.
    The meek can mean any sentient life.

    Rats are the only creatures who survive against all odds
    and maybe cockroaches ..

    ...so i've heard.

    Thanks very much.

    These quotes, I must say are the most amazing quotes i've ever read.
    They strike a very resonant cord in my understanding... (they pull my strings) ..lol

    Very much appreciated ...cheers ...

    It is not as if you had an actual 'choice'. We cannot 'be' other than as we are, moment a' moment.
    What is, at the moment of 'is', is all that can be, like every moment, every universe, of existence.
    You could no more have squashed that bit of passion (I love passion!) than I could have squashed my (foolish) comment (if I could have, I would have, and therein lies the horror if there were actual 'free-will' (or any) choice!).

    And re; the quotes, you're welcome. Thank you to the 'Source'!
    Namaste'
