Everything that happens. There is nothing that is not that process. It's what people attempt to describe with physics and quantum mechanics. It is change and movement. It is to large degree, mysterious and magical. Existence, whatever that may be. Trying to describe what energy is outside it's ability to do work (process) is difficult. What is energy? What is existence?

. To most folks in the world, having a car that works, is good enough.
. But Jay Leno finds cars themselves to have value.
. Likewise however the mind is only a tool, to accomplish some tasks of (former) evolutionary value (as the world now changes faster than evolution).
. The mind is not designed to answer 'ultimate' questions. Of course this annoys some folks, and makes others happy that God is taking care of it all.
. Regardless if we consider a picture that is all gray, or the case of being in a dense fog, it becomes obvious that meaning is dependent, on making distinctions, contrast, being able to find edges. Same with a cocktail party and too many loud voices at once, or white noise, or static.
. Whenever questions are asked about everything (or the universe, God, 'my whole life', "the meaning of my whole life" etc.), everything has been lumped into only one category: called: "everything" . So there is no longer any contrast, so there is no longer any inside and outside, so there is no longer any context, and so no meaningful answers are possible.
. So all we have left is mysticism, like the Heart Sutra. You can't get there from here. If you're enlightened you get it, but don't need it. . If unenlightened you need the understanding, but can't find it in the irrational statement (in the Heart Sutra): "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form".
These questions about 'everything', Solipsism, & other universals, often found in these threads also seem to ignore the relativity of all manifestation that both Einstein & Chuang Tzu pointed to.

"emptiness is form, form is emptiness" is a piece of advice to those who yearn for the release from suffering: a) yearning for emptiness creates an object in mind out of that which is the object of yearning. b) however all forms in mind are emptiness - insubstantial temporary conformations of energy patterns.
the advice encourages dropping the yearning and seeing the mind as it is.
I do not know if that helps.

This was an energizing post written 11 years 1 months ago by LunarEclipse. This was my first post on The Shroomery, written 9 years 11 months ago.
LunarEclipse knew about me before I joined the forums and at that time I had no idea who LunarEclipse was and what The Shroomery was.
Now tell me something extremely abnormal is not going on.
Please reply, RGV.

I find that when we meditate we push mental things distractions out of our mind not to return or we cease to engage in them it's like driving a car you get out of mental mud or weeds, they fall away it is fascinating to me and fascinating that it can go all the way to clean mind and encouraging and promising

So you're saying a void is just a part of the universe. Like the norm out there in cosmo land.
Because that's what I would say. And that us not being in that cosmic void is par from the norm. Ergo, an anomaly.
Imo at least

I think I summed it up. Any deeper is just a hat on a hat.

I respectfully disagree.
You made a pretty bold, esoteric claim that begs several questions.
Unless it's just typical dorm room philosophy, which is all flash and no substance, then of course you'll argue going deeper is unnecessary.
