There is a specific experience of the Nothing-that-is-Everything. I've had it. I presume that icutoffheads has also had it, given the content of the message. |
Hi Olderwiser
I don't think I've had this experience, though I've heard people mention it before. The experiences I do have I usually don't share but I still have a hard time thinking that nothing exist. Many thing I can agree with the old texts but other things I have a hard time with, like this "nothing". In my experience there is no such thing as nothing and that opposites or complements of things are sometimes difficult to detect. For example, matter is said to correspond to being the opposite of energy (matter-energy), but energy may often times be invisible to normal sight or vision.
Mostly I feel there is no such thing as true matter or material and solid reality and that separation and absence of a thing is an illusion since energy exists everywhere including our own selves and consciousness being energy and the world and medium we reside in being composed of oscillating waves of energy that we typically don't pay attention to/perceive.
