Nothing is Something

[Unseeking Seeker]

Check out the term ‘Ardhnarishwar’ in case you are not familiar. When male and female polarities entwine, fusing to become one, then who is the other?

Have a look at the term ‘Hirayangarbha’ as well. Cosmic egg. The one splits into two, the two many. Separation.

Then the ‘many’ reunite with source, becoming one. Union.

In a light hearted way, we can call it a game of hide & seek, of concealing & revealing.

The masculine and the feminine, Sophia, and the Christ!

What are you trying to show me?

These are our human distinctions, but spiritually, we are one.

Yet, we are so defined. Not pointless.

And by this love defined.

Yet... Union with God is the point of life.

I in God, God in me.

God forbid we do not see this distinction.

[Nowayout]

And I can see where you are trying to lead me

I am the dreamer awakening.

Ok, without argumentation,

Sheading all personal views...

You are saying...

I am God?

Please define...

This hidden view.

I mean you no harm

But it seems to me, so beyond, all rational views.

And you will tell me it's rational.

I see a dilemma unfolding..

And you will say I need to see past me... LOl.

Good God, we are all clouds drifting...

Love and bliss if you can sustain it.

Let’s begin then, by exiting self-hypnosis
Enslavement to lower mind
Melding mind, soul, spirit, Perichoresis
Exiting narrow thoughts that bind

Our innate aliveness, where is it located
Is it in the head or the heart
Desire enmeshed thought, has us agitated
Until we add love to cart

Head and heart meld, in a stillness continuum
Devoid of thought, fears and desires recede
There remains in mind-body, no ego residuum
Layer by layer, erst habit patterns we weed

There is no thought, yet our awareness remains
Poised in the void in childlike wonderment
Soul cleansed of feral stains, measuring not gains
Magnetised, reveals innate essence luminescent

We may call this Holy Spirit, kundalini or grace
There is no one now within, to assign any label
In timeless time, we may see God face to face
Inner alignment being all it takes for this miracle

Becoming the answer, we need no translator
Yet the light that already is, we cannot transmit
Ceasing to be a doer, as a humble receptor
Know God in-dwells all, when we cease to resist

Edit/ Addendum: extracts from the Ashtavakra Gita

15.16
“Your ignorance alone creates the universe
In reality One alone exists
There is no person or god other than You”

15.17
“One who knows for certain
that the universe is illusion,
a no-thing,
becomes desireless,
pure Awareness,
and finds peace in the existence of nothing”

Grace comes from God, which is universal.

Grace can give one insight into the holy spirit, which is hidden from many.

In the Christian traditions, the"Trinity", God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one essence.

We have created souls and that's the way it goes.... with Christians.

There is also the mystical side to Christianity, I was a Cistercian monk for a time. It is kinda like the ways of Buddism, and the awareness of the ego-self and its trappings?. We did shave our heads too. But more love/Christ-centered.

Sophia is the feminine side of Christ, my personal love.

I have no other desires, some days, other than to be one with her spirit. God's feminine spirit. Hence my poems about her.

The nothing/everything dilemma is also a deep philosophical debate that has been going on since the dark ages.

Philosophy, it's another good study.

And thank you for the Ashtavakra Gita quotes, it's interesting to me.

But that makes me God, I find that hard to agree too.

God moves in me
God loves me
I and God are one
But I am not the primal source.

This lack of distinction is found in the fall of Lucifer.

Lucifer, that angel of God, was cast out for these reasons.

As the story goes....

But I am an open mind.... with a soul?

We are merging from different traditions.

Who Is Lucifer, Why Did He Rebel?


The sin that corrupted Lucifer was self-generated pride.

Humility as we stand before God.. and our fellow friends.

Anyway, there is a thing to spiritual pride that some seem to not see?

A good philosophical presentation... Why does something exist, rather than nothing?


Despite its seeming simplicity, this conundrum and variations on it, has probably confounded philosophers, theologians and the ordinary person since our species first became able to contemplate its own existence.

While many might otherwise disagree, I am firmly of the opinion that the answers to this question will lie forever beyond our reach and the only “solutions” are speculation. While others may claim to know the “Truth”, the Divine Principle teaches us that we can never have the answers, because we can never be certain of anything beyond our own existence.

The question of existence takes on additional importance, as its answer relates directly to our own existence, meaning and purpose. With the capacity to fear death, and the terror that the thought of our own oblivion produces, we desperately ask ourselves if “this is it”? Is there more beyond this often vicious existence, is there a god and ultimately and perhaps most importantly, do I live on after death?

[Nowayout]

And on we go into the study of no-thing...

It is impossible for something to arise out of the state of nothingness. If it were, this would imply that it the state of non-existence actually contained within it the possibility of something existing. But possibility is in fact itself “something”, if only an information state that recognises potential. Possibility itself describes potential within time, and time does not exist within the non-existent state.

Just as something cannot be birthed by nothingness, so to can something not give way to nothingness. For this to occur would require that the “something” never existed in the first place.


Anyway....

Existence simply is.

Don’t ask me why.

The ideals of compassion, mercy, love, justice, tolerance, sacrifice and courage (among others) are all present within the story of Jesus. But so too are they present within the lives of Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius and thousands of other people throughout the ages. When we attempt to impose our reality on others, we inevitably destroy these very virtues, because when we believe ourselves right, and all others as wrong, we stop listening and deny empathy to the “other”; we become incapable of expressing the values we claim our God represents to any but our own.
