everything IS nothing....
    #5899440 - 07/25/06 08:00 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

i myself have come to a simplified conclusion that because i believe everything is in fact "oneness", a whole, connected either directly or indirectly.....that i also must accept the fact that it must be nothingness as well...if one cannot differentiate one thing from the next...on any level..any..then no matter what the variable is whether time, energy, mass, matter, the mere fact to admit to an infinite anything...one must also admit to its infinite nothingness....this is actually my very first post in the shroomery...never discussed this topic with anyone who would take me seriously

"if one cannot define the boundaries of space, how can ANYONE define any boundaries within space" a thought in the mind of JRuberti

Welcome to the Shroomery!  :grin:

If everything is nothing, wouldn't that imply no thing exists at all?

If you changed "nothingness" to "emptiness", as in the Hindu(?) concept of Sunyata, I would agree wholeheartedly. The barrier between 'this thing' and 'that thing' seems illusory. As I see it, atoms influence each-other in such a way as to form a vast interconnected flow of causality. I disagree with statements such as "all things are one", but I do suspect all things are part of one all encompassing system or process.

Different forms, categories, objects, etc arise in our mind's effort to understand and navigate reality. It would seem like an awfully hard challenge to understand everything without breaking it down into smaller pieces.

if one cannot differentiate one thing from the next...on any level..any

I'm me and you're you. I just differentiated one thing from the next.

Great post, and it is interesting to see you express "to understand and navigate reality" as you did... Who is it around here that always speaks about navigating reality? :wink:

true, everything is nothing, because everything means nothing other than what its refered to by definition, change its definition and it means something else, but is it truly anything at all other than what our perception uses to sees it to be, and sense our perception is encoded by definition than all things are realitive to that perception based on that definiton,

What differentiates my hand from a table...in essence they are the same thing, everything is comprised of the same thing at the simplest level..then we start seeing differences

If I am you, and you are me, would you then not object to sending me a check due to the amount of $1,000?

After all, we are one, right?

It just often seems there is realization without actualization. And realization without actualization has a relation with no foundation which leads to frustration. I was merely offering vocation of the sensation of salvation: the application of explanation without hesitation via conversation.  :smile:

differentiation is part of what we are together in.
as if fingers went pressing into a multidimensional membrane and we were the various finger puppets of that common membrane, different here in 3-d and separated here in 3-d at the moment, yet we are all from a single common and inseparable universal history; and we are all in a common and inseparable global now, and are yet to be in a common & inseparable future.

yet like the vacuoles in a cell we are each uniquly collecting and sifting through the myriad combinations of experience from our unique points of view.

sometimes it might be cute to be unified more extensively, and for this (being cute) you can enjoy a mushroom or lsd or salvia thereby regaining traction on the slipperiest of issues.

Interesting analogy. But I think that line of thinking lends itself to the idea that the fingers exist independently of the multidimensional membrane.

Yes, everything has a polar opposite. I fail to see the relevence of that however. Are you, in fact, suggesting that the fingers (consciousness or what have you) have an independent existence?

redgreenvines, I would like to ask how you came to these conclusions that you have made, in this thread. Specifically a proof for the idea that we are all connected by some other dimension.

I understand what you are saying, and agree with you, based on my limited knowledge of the issue, but I would certainly like to hear how you came to these conclusions, for the benefit of myself, yourself, and others. For the benefit of our oh so important desire to learn. :yinyang:
