How Does Nothingness Make Distinctions?

[JayG84]

Leo has said something like, Consciousness is an Infinite Nothingness that makes distinctions. And these distinctions make up reality as we perceive it. 

Does anyone have any insight on how Nothingness can generate distinctions?

@JayG84 distinctions appear inside nothingness

nothingness doesn't do anything to create them

just like a water doesn't do anything to be wet

water is wet

nothingness is the capacity for everything, including distinctions.

You are a distinction that is made from nothingness. You asking this question is consciousness making distinctions. Becoming God is becoming one with the infinite nothingness and everything that was created from it at the same time. You coming back from that experience starts with you drawing a distinction between nothingness/everything and you.

Great answer. Additionally, creation is existed by opposite sides. If hot is not exist cold cant be exist, god and evil, infinite negative and positive numbers. Top of that if you plus opposite sides answer will be 0. Which is nothingness itself.

@JayG84  It’s not something you figure out with thought constructs. It is something you become aware of happening now. Observe creation occurring now. Observe the continuous flow of creation. Observe what creation arises from and what it dissolves into.

The words are symbolic representations of the underlying actuality. Realizing the actuality is realizing it itself. The words are just symbols of it.

That'a the kicker: there is no how. Infinity is magic.

The key is to realize that an unlimited thing has God-like power.

@Leo Gura Is it because reality is unlimited? Existence is Pure Nothing, therefore, there is no limitation that prevents everything from being created. In other words, in order for Nothingness to be fully itself, it also has to be everythingness? Including infinite amounts of limitations, distinctions, and complexity/interconnectedness?

 

This intellectualization is kind of silly...I'm just gonna plug some 5meo...

 

Also, a distinction is itself?

I guess it must be pure creation. When one thing becomes distinct from another, it is born into existence. There is no mechanism except for consciousness itself, just Mind?

@Adam M just imagine the air. You cant see the air or touch (except wind). You cant see the nothingness but it is aware like an air. Thats What you become, nothing but aware.

If reality is ONE, then it must be unlimited because there is nothing outside itself to limit it. And if it is unlimited then it can literally do whatever the fuck it wants instantaneously. That's how God gets its power. God's power comes simply from the fact that God is ONE and has no other. To be ONE is to be totally sovereign. God cannot be limited by anything other than itself because it invents/imagines all limits. The ability to imagine all limits is what makes God unlimited in power because it is not bound by any of them.

When you realize the above, your life will never be the same again.

That is the heart of God-realization.

It does not. You do.

The first clue would be that you do not know you are infinite being.

@Leo Gura nice Leo, very nice

Everything that's created comes out of silence.

I have a feeling nothingness creating distinctions is like this :
