Can you answer the question: What is Existence?

20 posts in this topic

Finding that this is what it all boils down to. Awakening lies in not only being able to verbally answer this, but also having a direct experience of what it is.

Absolutely speaking, Existence = ‘X’

what is X to you? No bullshit-what are you actually conscious of?

It's not one word and done . It's infinitely complicated. 


 "When you get very serious about truth you accept your life situation exactly as it is. So much so that you aren't childishly sitting around wishing it were otherwise.If you were confined to a wheelchair you would just accept it as how reality is. Just as you now just accept that you are not a bird who can fly."

-Leo Gura.

X= I am

"I am" represents the core of your being, connecting you to a universal consciousness. This phrase affirms your existence beyond physical form and acknowledges your true self, fostering self-awareness and unity with all creation

When the secret is revealed to you, you will know that you are not other than God, but that you yourself are the object of your quest.

Nah.

The question would probably be better understood as a koan - a riddle with no answer, something to grasp personally and directly, in a deep way.

To say there is no answer to the question of Existence.. is indeed an answer to the question of Existence ;)

I'll tell you the answer, but don't tell anyone else: it's 'amarillo'.

Existence Just Is, if You try to explain Why Existence then You have to create a Story or Philosophy that has to either be Believed In or Disbelieved In, either way, answering it gets You no closer to touching what Reality/Truth or Existence Is!

IMO Existence is ultimately here for Absolute/God to know itself,  via the trillions of different and unique/individual life forms and the karma that is created and situations faced by those trillions of forms..via that Absolute can know itself as Potential and Possibility, which are other words for Infinity or Eternity!

There is no precise answer! Please Tell me the totality of an Atom? You can't, know one can because know one knows, as they are always discovering new things about the atom and quantum field.. And the Atom is one of the smallest things in existence, so knowing the Whole of Existence is not possible. What's possible is being inTouch with the whole of Existence as an Experience, not a knowing... Knowing implies Intellect, MInd/Facts/Comparison btwn this and that, etc...

Deal with the issue now, on your terms, in your control. Or the issue will deal with you, in ways you won't appreciate, and cannot control.

Existence is the inevitable manifestation of the absence of limits. Existence is something positive, a movement, a contrast, change. It is the contrast between possible states, being infinite possibilities since there are not absolute limits.

It is something obvious, and something that science will be able to define at some point. Quantum physics, when it speaks of fluctuations in fields and void energy, is pointing to the root of existence. It's not mysterious at all, it's inevitable, common, obvious. And it's exactly you.

What is existence?

Relatively, from the mind, through concept, thought, idea or perception? It can't.

Absolutely, can the mind address existence... it never didn't :P

A television with no television.


Sometimes it's the journey itself that teaches/ A lot about the destination not aware of/No matter how far/
How you go/How long it may last/Venture life, burn your dread

Existence Is That which Exists Infinitely - as Itself, for Itself  !

death was never meant to be scary, it was never real like we thought
