TOPIC: THE EXPLORATION OF EMPTINESS. |
|
|
 |
Posted on Dec.27.2007 @ 09:44AM EDT by stephen
The exploration of emptiness.
For the last two years I have been investigating the land of emptiness. Not the lack of everything but a place called emptiness. It goes like this. The reality of the universe changes every nanosecond. Mass that was energy become mass and energy that was mass become energy. The screen is refreshed and nothing remains the same. Ghost of passed screens are seen on the periphery but have no importance. So there is nothing to be attached to, deluded by or angry about. Emptiness meditation involves visualizing space with no matter in an expanding universe and a contemplation and acceptation of all possibilities. You want to find yourself in the moment which has no permanence.

In your minds eye you see a X,Y,Z ordinate system. In the center (0,0,0) is a black hole. Every nanosecond the hole explodes producing emptiness at the speed of light in 360 degrees. The screen is cleared.

Emptiness is not a word you just can't do without, but it is the first word to go as an example of a meaningless doctrine of nihilism.

Quote: "Emptiness is not a word you just can't do without, but it is the first word to go as an example of a meaningless doctrine of nihilism. " .........
The Buddhist notion of emptiness is often misunderstood as nihilism. Unfortunately, 19* century Western philosophy has contributed much to this misconstruction. Meanwhile Western scholars have acquired enough knowledge about Buddhism to realize that this view is far from accurate. The only thing that nihilism and the teaching of emptiness can be said to have in common is a skeptical outset. While nihilism concludes that reality is unknowable, that nothing exists, that nothing meaningful can be communicated about the world, the Buddhist notion of emptiness arrives at just the opposite, namely that ultimate reality is knowable, that there is a clear-cut ontological basis for phenomena, and that we can communicate and derive useful knowledge from it about the world. Emptiness (sunyata) must not be confused with nothingness. Emptiness is not non-existence and it is not non-reality. |

There is no need, to put emptiness on any side, and self on any other. Those attributes that we think are us, become worn away, until we receive continually what can only be attributed to as a unified being, unifying all as in being all. I am not running for books to describe it, shouldn't have to, it goes beyond the conceptual of time and spacial causality, but uses every common mistaken rejection, as being with it, as an opportunity to establish consciousness to the least desired aspects while still containing acceptance. |

Oh and to the guy who thinks he is "investigating the land of emptiness these, last two years"? What he's been doing is thinking and thinking and thinking about a concept he likes to call emptiness, so he can plan and plan. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. |
