Empty Principles

[Mellowmarsh]

Fundamentally, there’s just emptiness infinitely gazing upon its own emptiness. And we call this God.

Ultimately, we must conclude that emptiness is full of itself, and cannot exist in the same place at the same time, ultimately cancelling each other out. And we call this God.

What a beautiful sentence.

A full void, what the ancient Greeks called a plenum. A contradiction in terms. Such is the nature of reality. It doesn't make sense but it does. And it's YOU, always, all the time. Pretty mind-boggling stuff

Haven’t seen that one before. Thanks for posting, it made perfect non-sense. Loved not-watching this.

I'm bamboozled. Please can you say a bit more about this ?

Nobody lives with empty principles.

The self is a mental construction that constructs its own deconstruct, thus cancelling each concept out. 
 

Leaving nothing but mystery, the mystery of nothing. Curiously!

How does nothing turn into something, is it just pure magic ?

Our science is an abstract cold and brief
That cuts in formulas the living whole.
It has a brain and head but not a soul:
It sees all things in outward carved relief.

But how without its depths can the world be known?
The visible has its roots in the unseen
And each invisible hides what it can mean
In a yet deeper invisible, unshown.

The objects that you probe are not their form.
Each is a mass of forces thrown in shape.
The forces caught, their inner lines escape
In a fathomless consciousness beyond mind's norm.

Probe it and you shall meet a Being still
Infinite, nameless, mute, unknowable.

What if the answer to that question is 42

Attempts to answer ultimate questions often devolve into nonsense, sometimes humorous nonsense and sometimes just boring nonsense. I know it’s a boring answer isn’t it? 😉

So there's no divine type laws etc, informing reality behind the scenes, that one could become conscious of, ie your saying it's all just unknowable mystery ?
