Find yourself in Infinity to loose yourself in Eternity

Post by Stillness »

Hi everyone :)

The following is my attempt at explaining why this 'reality' we experience is the way it is, and how is it that we are aware of it at all. I hope this makes sense.

The absolute nature of Existence is fundamentally equal to both eternal oneness and eternal nothingness. This causeless state of total paradox necessarily cancels itself out by forever emanating the illusory cycle of asymmetric duality directly from its immaterial presence. It is therefore the eternal source of all things.

The primary opposites that comprise this illusion are the infinite changeless emptiness and the finite shifting density. The emptiness is the foundational presence of universal self awareness. This awareness is impulsively inclined towards the realization of total self perception. The density is the perceivable mechanism of all movement, change and causality, and is itself fundamentally devoid of any inherent awareness.

It is the perpetual interaction of these illusory opposites that allows the continuation of the eternal cycle of the Universe and the rise and fall of all phenomena within it.

The cycle inevitably reverts the illusion to the fundamental interval of total emptiness. This is the point when the entirety of the density finally decays to nothing, passing out of Existence and effectively bringing the Universe to its end. When this occurs, the awareness is rendered unable to perceive the source of its own presence, as there are no longer any material entities present to reflect its eternal attention.

This brings the awareness into a state of infinite confusion, causing the source to release a massive, chaotic burst of pure energy out into the emptiness. This marks the beginning of the cycle and the birth of the new Universe. Eventually, this energy begins to cool, separating into the three different types of elementary point particle that comprise the shifting density.

Following the path of least resistance, the three particle types then begin to interact with each other, culminating in the emergence of the two primary elements of the Universe. The individual atomic entities of these elements serve to reflect the awareness back upon itself, allowing it to perceive the reality of both its’ and its’ opposites’ illusory nature and the eternal paradox of the source.

Vast molecular clouds of these elements drift through the emptiness, eventually colliding with other such clouds and reacting with them energetically to create enormous star forming regions distributed randomly throughout space.

Over the next few million years, these regions give birth to countless trillions of stars. From the moment these stars are born, the extreme energy within them begins to convert the primary elements they are comprised of into heavier, more complex elements. A comparatively small number of stars quickly shrink into points of extreme density which attract any stars within a certain distance towards themselves, grouping them together into vast clusters.

Approximately ten billion years into the cycle, the first born stars are finally depleted of their primary elements and explode, scattering the new heavy elements out into space in the form of dust and gas. These elements eventually fall into the orbital influence of younger stars, where they may potentially come together to form planets.

In the primitive atmosphere of any stabilizing planet orbiting a suitable distance from its parent star, lightning strikes from electrical storms energise thick clouds comprised of various organic elements, causing them to combine into new molecules so complex, they can ‘feel’ the awareness of the reflected emptiness emanating from themselves. This gives them their own separate self awareness and an awareness of their surroundings.

These molecules then fall to the surface of the planet, both onto the land and into the ocean. Because of their complexity, they have the ability to generate copies of themselves and begin to multiply. These are the first living cells. In the water, they can move around freely. On the land, they attach themselves to the planet and absorb any minerals they can from the rock. This is the first vegetation, which begins the process of excreting oxygen into the atmosphere.

Eventually, ultra-violate radiation emanating from the parent star causes random mutations to occur in many of the offspring cells, giving rise to even more complex multi-celled organisms with higher levels of awareness.

As the different climates of the planet steadily change, some of these mutations can more easily adapt to the new environmental conditions than others. These particular species survive and continue their reproduction, passing on their new, advantageous physical traits to their offspring. These new traits inevitably include more efficient methods of reproduction.

When the oxygen in the atmosphere has reached sufficient quantities, many species begin to emerge from the water, while many others remain there. Both forms of life continue to physically adapt to their own slowly changing environments and find suitable habitats in which to thrive. This eventually brings about an incredible diversity of animals in many different shapes, sizes and levels of complexity. Simple vegetation develops into more complex plant life of many different varieties. This process continues unceasingly.

The final culmination of the process is the emergence of life forms that can hold memories of much of what they experience through their own awareness and can construct thinking, learning minds based on these memories.

Ultimately, the only thing that is real is the absolute nature of Existence. The Universe we perceive and everything within it, including our bodies and our minds, is an infinitesimal period of the illusory cycle of asymmetric duality that eternally emanates from the fundamental paradox of this causeless, immaterial state.

Therefore, everything is ‘ONE’.

Thanks for reading this :)

You do realize that's an oxymoron?

Hi Prince :)

I absolutely realize it's an oxymoron, or as I refer to it, a paradox. It is the very presence of this causeless state that eternally cancels itself out by giving rise to manifestation, effectively rendering itself forever unmanifested. It does this because that which pure Existence is fundamentally equal to, absolute non-existence, can not possibly be actuallised.

I guess what I'm really trying to convey is that we are all ultimately one with the causeless freedom that just 'IS'. The 'things' that we feel bound by in our lives are just temporary appearances to the universal self awareness that can have no real affect on the changeless state that we actually are. The only things these appearances can affect are other appearances which we believe we are. Our true nature is not an appearance, or anything that can be perceived with the senses. It is the 'ISNESS' of Existence itself, of which there is only one, infinite and eternal. Everything we experience is an effect caused by this paradoxical state canceling itself out by it's very nature. Because on it's own, no-thing is actually happening. Being, but not happening. Such a state is equal to non-existence.

If it's infinite and eternal, how can it be only one? (or only anything for that matter)

Well, in actuality, it isn't even 'only one'. The word Existence in the context I am using it in refers to that which just is (it is not a thing). It need not be explained 'where' it came from, as it didn't come from anywhere because it can't not exist. When I said there is only one, that was to say that there is not more than one Existence. Therefore, it is necessarily infinite and eternal. EVERYTHING that exists is included in Existence, even any other universes that may exist (although I do not believe any others do).

Stillness, to me, you are presenting what most who seek to know the nature of reality present, that is, a dual Existence that is also One. Tell me how Existence [not your human sense interpretation of existence, but Existence Itself] can oppose Itself?

Man wants his cake and eat it too; he wants to be free of dualism and realize his one reality of life, but he is unwilling to do what must be done to make this his reality. What must be done is to transcend, one by one, his attachment to form, an attachment that exists not in the form omnipresence of the Foundation Mind of Existence Itself, but only in his finite mind of appearance perception, opinion, belief and logic analysis - his belief in the reality of causality.

If the cosmology of the Big Bang is viewed as being a living cosmology or vision of conscious awareness, and I use this living cosmology to expand upon what I saying above, then that which IS before the Big Bang WAS is the Living, Permanent Thought Foundation of the Big Bang, what you refer to as Existence Itself, but is not of the temporal-spatial things [appearance] of the Big Bang, what you refer to as the appearance of effects.
Both forms of life continue to physically adapt to their own slowly changing environments and find suitable habitats in which to thrive. This eventually brings about an incredible diversity of animals in many different shapes, sizes and levels of complexity. Simple vegetation develops into more complex plant life of many different varieties. This process continues unceasingly.
It is not my understanding that the appearance of physical matter continues unceasingly. Scientists believe the Big Bang or universe of physical life has a birth date of approximately 14 billion years ago. In that unknown moment, a star or stars was born, exploded and scattered its elements as time, space and matter to become the physical life of the universe of sense awareness. You and I and the ant and the elephant are of the star dust of this original star or stars that is now consciously aware of these elements.

Most scientists believe that as the Big Bang or appearance of the universe was born in the Mind of Existence, so shall the Big Bang/universe also die in the Mind of Existence. Which means that in the moment of the last star being swallowed up of gravity, DNA will cease to exist, but Existence Itself, of which the pure awareness of all 'swallowed up expressions of DNA' are One in Conscious Awareness, will not, because it cannot, cease to Exist or Be.
