@Someone here Only in assuming that existence is a possibility that is actualized by some cause can you consider that question (of why there is something rather than nothing) meaningful. What I say is that this assumption is itself absurd, which is affirmed when you realize that the present moment in being at all, negates nothingness. Which means there had to be something, the answer to your question is of necessity, there necessarily were something.

Osho once said that all the three main religions born out of India Buddhism Jainism Hinduism are intended to create an inner zero..... nothingness as Buddha called it apparently! I just watched that Osho video which is why I mentioned it ❤

Nice, Here I would describe identification like an unexplored assumption or misunderstanding, a real & unreal experience.... J krishnamurti & Osho had a lot of great discussions in this area! It seems difficult to point out because it's not a particular thing, it's a bunch of smaller things that seem to make up this big unreal identity construct. And it's more of an internal recognition as opposed to an external behavioral change. For example: An apparent someone who recognizes their personalized identification as unreal, will still remember how to sell real estate, save money or operate a crane, still prefer white rice over brown or coffee over tea. What I'm saying is there will still seem to be a character with a personal identification or preferences. In other words it wouldn't be able to be pointed out! As far as identification taking the form as nothing, well that just wouldn't be nothingness. But it could be a concept of it. ❤

@Vincent S It's not like I haven't encountered Nothingness or Emptiness. If I take enough 5-MeO-DMT that's where it takes me. To total formlessness. So I don't see a need for ketamine for that.

Nothingness=Everything Everything is Love. You are Awareness.

Thanks, I agree Notice please that nothingness is not real "thing", and is only a concept, polarity that minds create to oppose to something.

@Galyna Yes, the perception of visual field is nothingness in actuality. But if you think a form which exist independent of mind's imagination. This is not possible. Consciousness is nothingness. And consciousness is prior to form. No form exist without imagination by infinite mind or infinite consciousness. All forms, colors, sensations etc are imagined by nothingness. Nothingness is prior. FORM IS SECONDARY PHENOMENON. You can say form is nothingness but it is still imagined and held in infinite mind which technically is nothing. No color, No shape, Nothing.

Once you collapse the duality between relative and absolute, the subtle notion of the infinite and finite disappears. The relative is as real as the absolute. The ego is as real as infinity. Red is as red as nothingness. Free will is as real as determinism. "You" are both real and a illusion. Reality is permanently co-creating itself, through itself, with itself.

@Galyna Still appearances of color, shapes etc are still imagination of nothingness. Infinite consciousness is nothing in technical sense. This infinite consciousness dreams up forms. There is nothing in reality. All forms and colors are imaginery.

Why do you think that nothingness is just a void, or a pure black space with nothing in there? This is how a human being imagines “nothing”. This is not the case. Notice, it’s still something. You are not a human being; this is how it your “understanding” starts. I will use the language here just to explain the concept. However, you cannot fathom it by the means of language. When the observer takes a back seat in consciousness, and just observes the reality, the self of sense drowns in void, disappears. Try not to put labels and describe what you see. Language is not needed. What you will discover soon is that the stencil, or what you call individualized personality, will cease to exist. When there is no self, there is no one to register the reality. That’s a key moment. There is no cognition and description of what you see, smell, or hear. You do not need to close your eyes to think yourself out of reality, you actually do not even need to meditate for this. All you need to do is to stop naming the objects and phenomena you see, stop creating the meaning of the experience. When this happens, experience is still there without the description, but at the same time it is not there either. So, we cannot call it “experience”. However, when there is no observer, you cannot register the reality. Drop the observer that your mind creates to lurk you into so-called Enlightenment! This is a trick it plays with itself to never let "you" go. This is how the illusion (maya) of the solid world has been creating “you” for a long time. It’s been creating “you” through the stencil of the perceiver and the perception. By returning back into the seat of consciousness, when you drop all the notions, language, descriptions, you are disappearing. You do not need to close your eyes for this to happen, because even with the eyes closed, you mind still separates and divides between inner and outer, thoughts and void, cognition, feelings, and emotions. “You” are still there! Don’t stop your thought process, no need even for that, let it be there. You do not know yet the true meaning behind the objects that you see. You really do not know who you are, everything that you know comes from language (reasoning, prior knowledge, and beliefs). What if you do not have language, are you still your body or the holistic experience? Are you still separating and dividing between “mine” and “not mine”? No, when you drop the language and knowledge, all you’ll get left with is a holistic experience, One, picture that contains everything, and your body is just another object on that canvas. You are not in your body. By slowly putting your attention back on awareness, by dropping even that!!! you begin to experience nothingness. Who said that nothing is empty? Actually, nothingness can contain all the elements of perceptions: sound and color, tactile senses. This is how illusion has been created, illusion that there is something there, when in fact there is not. You are walking on the bridge between dualities without realizing that wholeness is couched within nothingness, and nothingness contains and gives birth to everything. How? By giving experience some description. It is very simple, by reasoning… It does not mean that everything appears into Being from void, it’s already there: nothing and everything, non-dual infinite potential. What it means that by changing the perception, you can realize, but only post factum, that everything is nothing. It only appears as is colors, sounds, senses, but everything is nothing in its core, and vice versa. When you drop the stencil of the perceiver and start having the experience of Being/Totality, without any cognition and linguistic recognitions. Who is there to acknowledge the factuality? Nobody right, nobody could say there is a tree, because “you” as the perceiver is NOT there. What is there then? It cannot be communicated, that is the trick… Does it mean that the light was off, and everything zoomed in into the black dot? No. We do not need to switch the light off for existence to become nothing. All you need to do is to “think your way out” of existence as a human being. When there is no you, there is no world. Because “world” is just the linguistic description of your mind. There is no such thing as world, it is all mental construct for you to see the plausible reality. Once you break the meaning of everything, and drop all the notions, reality as know you, will cease to exist because you will take your illusory self out of the equation. Death is not real; this is literally how you die. Time only exists as a descriptive mechanism to make sense of the continuum from moment to moment, or a motion. Again, when you do not describe the motion, you do not have time. Contraction and dilation of time only happens in your mind. Hope the reader will understand my point. Thanks for your time and attention.

Ok, why are games made to be efficient? Because the alternative is inefficiency. Efficiency is always gonna be better. Games aren't unique. Everything in reality is efficient. Our reality is no different. Let's say we're here for some purpose, and that purpose involves us interacting with things, making decisions, and experiencing consequences from our decisions. Well what goes into creating all that? What components do you need to enable all this? You need your 5 senses. That's it. You don't need a physical reality, you don't need organs, or anything else. If you have just those 5 senses, you're able to achieve whatever purpose you're here for. Now what's the most efficient way of creating the experience of these 5 senses? That's the only problem you have to solve. You need those 5 senses. No other assumptions. You're starting from literal nothingness. Nothing exists, but you need 5 senses, how do you do it? How do you do it in dreams? Well you just do it! You don't create the organs or anything, you don't need to. Even in dreams you'll find organs if you cut someone up, but does that mean the organs in your dreams are real? Of course not.

It is not a part of everything. Everything is limited to objective form. It is not. Because they're not fundamentally identical and don't serve the exact same purpose, unless they both serve the purpose of Existence itself. In which case, the question is like asking why a rock and an apple are different if they are both in the same Existence. The spatial difference between two objects, the temporal difference between two eras, and the perceptive difference between two disparate fields of perception are all achieved by the same generator: Nothingness.

It was a long post to go through covering different aspects to sex, absolutely deep and profound, kudos @Galyna Sex is not just bodies at play, it’s also an exploration for the mind to the direction of extreme pleasure when mind seeks asylum in the polar opposite in its duality, the physical sensations and emotions are the first thing that meets the eye of an ordinary lusty mind. For the advanced, sex is the whole of infinity what one calls god and other calls nothingness when Masculine hacks and penetrates the feminine essence of absolute beauty and brings her to bloom with ecstasy and shows her the absolute lucidity of truth. it is a transformation for those who understand spirituality and can source connect, the sex is about consciousness and the absolute intelligence manifesting itself to bring creation. God planting itself in the nature of duality creating absolute burst of divine potent energy and unlimited joy. Sex = Source of universe

I attract situations of being laughed at. It’s the most devastating feeling to look at. There’s deep shame interwoven in this experience. We have to look at this feeling in the face and experience the entirety of it as thoroughly as we can— deeply in our body, heart, and memories. We have to open up to being laughed at entirely, existentially. It’s extremely difficult. To get there, bring up the intensity of the experience by feeling it more and more until you are experiencing a helpless-state of it— until you are OF this experience (ONE with it). In this Union, recognize Truth (the Present Moment) and bring your body (which is probably fleeing in dissociation, vibration, a flooding of the face) into the awareness of the safety of the Now. When you integrate the energy with/into the Now it will integrate with/into infinity, nothingness. You’ll most likely not attract such situations anymore because you have let them go. At the very least, you will not feel any sort of way toward them if they do happen— because you released it/purified your encompassing of it.

Nothing permeates everything, however, it is not limited to everything. There is a Nothingness that knows no form. If you cannot have access to this, that is a cosmic level of ignorance. Verification is a remnant of the materialistic paradigm that exists in your mind. Not all things necessitate empirical (formally and demonstrably and observably repeatable through measurement) evidence for their knowledge. Knowledge is merely a correlation that allows high-purity deductions to hold true. One has the ability to understand parts of reality ones has not glimpsed.

Nothing is the same as everything. That's why anything exists at all. You can theorize about the big bang and whatnot, but if none of that happened, and the universe never stopped being nothing, wouldn't that be the most elegant theory possible? No assumptions about anything happening. Just what we know (nothingness must've been the start, if there was a start), and that's it. But since "nothing" never changed into "something", that means it's still nothing, and this is what nothing looks like. Nothing is the only thing that can be everything, as if it was something it couldn't be everything else. To your logic. Solipsism is far more elegant of a solution than your idea of: "it should be assumed that each person is conscious, even if there's no possible way to ever verify this".

And yet, form still exists. Meaning the supposed nonexistence of distance, time, space, etc. is a fabrication. Consciousness is the phenomenal and formal aspect of reality; conversely, the Nothingness aspect in isolation cannot possess consciousness of anything. Consciousness is primary to the perceived universe, to the element of form, but secondary in comparison to the Nothingness that permeates it and is not limited to it. Form = data/information = subservient to Nothingness. Themselves. Consciousness = appearances. And . . . All conceivable forms are identical to Nothingness, and Nothingness exists, therefore . . .

One of the biggest harms of pornography is that it twists your view on sexuality. It makes you think that sex feels like a trip to other world!!. When you actually have sex(if you did have sex then you know ) that sex isn't that good!. You will be shocked..it's boring and not that pleasurable in comparison to porn !. In sex ..The physical pleasure that you will feel in your penis is far less than masturbation..beacuse when you masturbate you can control the tightness and the grip on your penis and the speed..in sex you have a certain vagina with a fixed tightness which is way more soft than your monkey fapping death grip!. In sex you probably gonna have one person to have sex with..unlike porn when you can have sex with 100 woman in one fucking hour!. Your partner is more likely not going to be that perfect plastic goddess !..her teeth are not going to be all white and semetric!. Also ..sex requires more physical effort ..your whole body is at work..whreas in masturbation ..just your hand and you dick . I think sexual desire and lust is one of the most important and mysterious phenomena in nature . It feels so good but it's never enough..we are forever chasing that orgasm. In fact..there will never be such thing as enough ..even if you have one zillion orgasm with one zillion different women ..You will ask for more. It drains us, we know.. yet we can't help but desire it. Don't think that when you become old ass man in his 80's that you finally gonna be done with sex ..the lust in your mind will stay just the same ..you will just grow tired of chasing nothingness . This is why I truly believe that overcoming sexual desire is nessciarly to achieving happiness in life..true happens is not in sex..its in overcoming this endless obsession .In fact ..sex brings misery if you have noticed..for some reason In the hell ..you feel kinda sad after sex which is the exact opposite of what you expected ..yet you keep falling at the same trap.!! It remindes me of an experience they have done on rats..the rats push the button and they get a hit of heroin.. those rats keep pushing the button until they overdose and die . I don't want to sound weird..but sex can literally kill you if you don't control it!!!. PS :by no means I overcame sex.. i understand all the things mentioned above..yet if you open my skull you will find nothing but sex in there.!

Awareness is non physical, non tangible phenomena. Aka, nothingness. Or so they say.

@billiesimon I think you misunderstood what I said. That line must have thrown you off. My point was that the answer to "WHY GOD?" is that you're assuming 'something' is existing in the first place to even ask that. Why would you assume all of this right here right now is existence? What stopping you from realizing all of this is absolute emptiness, nothingness and non-existence? God exists, doesn't exist, both does and doesn't, and neither does nor doesn't, all simultaneously. It's a unity. With this understanding, you can't ask "WHY" because it just wouldn't make sense. The simple answer to any question then becomes "God", and it makes perfect sense. @Leo Gura

@billiesimon great great question. This is also one of the biggest questions I am still wondering about. I guess it boils down to why does "somethingness" exist, and not simply nothing? And I guess the answer is simple. What would limit "nothingness" from spawning into "somethingness?" Nothing! Therefore, Nothingness becomes Infinity. And Nothingness now has become somethingness or you could say nothingness=somethingness or simply non-duality. But it makes perfect sense that nothingness=somethingness=ONE, therefore=GOD because what would separate anything from anything when everything is nothing? Only imaginary boundraries can exist, hence you are God. Not sure if it makes sense. Once I am inside my true nature (God) it makes perfect sense that God exists and will forever exist. The question "why is this the case?" doesn't even appear because it is so obviously just the way it is. But reasoning your way to it on a logical basis is harder:D

Exactly. But all the "non-blank-state-things" are made out of pure "blankness"/nothingness

@machiavelli I think the problem hese is that tyou are confusing Gods POV with your finite POV There is no background from God POV. Dreamind infinite dreams at once looks like Absolute Nothingness, not "many many many dreams". The same with the concept of time. Without the time-space concept reality as we see it and its illusion would collapse and we would go back to the timeless singularity. Leo DID explain it many times. dreams are still happening in a time frame, every memory you have needs it. No time, no memory, no you. The same can be said for you waking state. There is no difference. Notice you are creating this difference

Consciousness is everything and everyone, everywhere, at all times. It stands up to all doubt. Illusions are created in consciousness. Nothingness is created in consciousness. Void is created in consciousness. "No consciousness" is created in consciousness.

I've no idea where I'm going. I felt like I was sitting at the graveyard one day. I was wearing a full white dress. Did anyone know me? Was I waiting for someone? Why did I feel like voices were calling me? I felt like I was walking aimlessly in that direction. There was nothing left for me. Nothing left at all. There was only Emptiness and nothingness There was nobody there. Just me and those voices.
