"and this sudden dawning on our consciousness that life is not really a contest to make yes triumph over no...the two sides go together"
Alan Watts explores duality and the relationship between life and death and existence. He explains the concept of nothing and the importance of nothing for the existence of something

Alan Watts found my ear like a few years ago. Definitely my favorite philosopher, and IDK why they don't teach his name in schools... well... yeah i do, but the reason is lame. Definite validation for anybody having an existential mindset, or going through spiritual changes and growth.

The historical Buddha taught Emptiness over 2600 years ago. It is profound and will transform the way you view the world and yourself. If you're brought up to from a religious background, it will uproot your foundation.

Everything is actually a destroyed version of nothingness ... the chaos of chaos, the death of death... the world is the nothing that could not.

One of the most abused words in language is the term "Creat" which literally means, to bring something into existence, i e to manifest something from nothing. Is such a thing actually possible? How could one possibly know or how could one even begin the process of knowing? That could only happen with absolute and precise use of language and intelligent definition and description of terms.

One might think one can reach preciseness but alas, it's just a fantasy... a whole human being is still shedding skin and what not bits all the time, just like the number, pi, reaching wholeness at decimals and yet not reaching the real whole number. Pi holds the secret to circles of wholeness, and ultimately of everything and nothing, including infinite infinities.

It's like you saying that you are moving towards me but I am saying you are moving towards me, and both are correct. The scientific view is the common view, but the actual and bigger truth is the opposing view. There is a continual struggle to be whole from nothingness, a ternary world, encompassing a duality.

@user-rp9ti3ih6u Жыл бұрын

Zero struggles to infinities, and at many progressive infinities reach tipping points to be whole, and thence forwards, to create higher dimensions of and in terms of space, velocities, acceleration, jerk and so on, all still coexisting in nothingness, and forming all imaginary possibilities, one of which, Newton's law, made our physical world possible with all its physical things, an infinitisimal part of the imaginary world.

Energy existence JUST is. Being over identified with the physical reality you must suspend your belief patterns you have gained from in this lifetime though can not hold tight to in order to understand non dual always ism
