Why there is something after "nothing"

[Aeris]

maybe there has never been "nothing", or maybe there has never been "something"

How could “nothing” have been? What would have been? ?

don't know, maybe an infinite loop, this is a concept tho.

maybe it never started and will never end, cause this are concepts in the duality world

A better question, why is there something after everything? 

[Leo Gura]

Something and nothing are indistinguishable.

@Leo Gura only to God not to him !!

He hasn't realized he's God yet.

how did you realized it yourself ?

@Aeris A lifetime of suffering the devilish ways of the Ego.

Meditation helped too

Where that something occurs really? 

 

[Aeris]

Knowing you're in charge of the "I"/ ego shadow clear, and knowing you're the only universe that there is " so far ", experiencing reality as it "is".

 I don't call that being god, I call this having a high lvl of delusion.

but I m maybe wrong, maybe god is everything, maybe god is nothing, maybe people who clearly state that there is no god, no absolute, nothing is true but it could be. 

cannot tell in my direct experience aside having "thoughts".

if you call the experience of "me" aware of "me" being aware of being god.

maybe, but point me the concept of god, being a part of "this"

One side of the same coin (there is no "other" side of the coin)

Greetings all

The raw sensory data our bodies receive (a tiny proportion of the total reality) is an undifferentiated soup, or boiling cauldron of energy (sometimes called emptiness), from which our minds create 'things'. We differentiate and fragment, for practical purposes of survival and building up the ego, then realise we are lonely, conflicted and alienated so we spend ages trying to re-connect. We humans are poised at the tipping-point between division and unity, our spiritual quest is to reconcile these two apparent opposites. Not that one is better than the other, but that we are looking for the harmony beneath the paradox. 

Happy Vesak to all Buddhists in the forum!
