Nothing vs Everything

[pregnantplatypuss]

I was explaining the Aztec concept of God to my mom. I said God is a shape shifter. What you see is God. You are never seeing one thing, but you are rather seeing an undefinable amount of things. That's God. God is everything, but just as importantly God must be nothing.

She said, yes that. I don't understand that. Nothing sounds so depressing.

I said, nothing sounds depressing to the self because the self must have something to survive.

I later thought about this. Is that what peace is? Someone may say, I have everything to fight for, but wouldn't that be perpetuating the self. Shouldn't it be rather, I have nothing to fight for?

Everything is nothing, nothing is everything, everything is nothing, nothing is everything.....

Only a few can grasp the true meaning of this. Don't expect any random person ( your mom in this case) to understand something that's beyond common logic.

Besides this "nothing" that is God in not empty. There is a quality to it that is indescribable but undeniable.

Everything is nothing can never be a belief, that's why it's such a powerful pointer because we're used to believing in stuff that isn't.

You have nothing to fight for because everything is you, so just live and love.
