Nothing Is Happening

3 posts in this topic

Sorry if this has been expressed before, I just really wanted to share.

When Leo spoke about asking if reality had a botton scale (atoms, quarks, strings...) I started thinking about the lowest scale, the lowest limit of time.

I realized that the smallest unit of time is the Absolute Now, I thought of it like a still shot, a photo, before the mind can interpret anything, project anything its just this blob of sensations.  And nothing is happening in them since something happens only because the mind says it does.  So the Truth is that nothing is happening.

This state of Being is a state of radical not knowingness since anything that can be known is just more content of thought and thats illusory.

What I think I am or could be, and what I think existence is or could be is also just more thought and more illusions.  I am Being and Nothing and its the same thing in a way.

There is nothing to do, and no one to do anything even if there was something to do, nothing is happening, there is no one to convince of this or anyone to do the convincing.

So yea... that leaves me with very little.  Just go on living life the best I can, not knowing anything, at least in the absolute sense.  

But all this feels good somehow, like I am not ecstatic or blissing out or anything but um... I dont know its still pretty awesome to see this.

Therefore, there is no such thing as time, nor such thing as Absolute Now, because that implies time.

What are sensations really, in direct experience? Without thoughts labeling seeing as seeing, touching as touching, tasting as tasting, etc... what are they really?

Furthermore...doesn't Being and Nothing imply a dualism? Without the filter of mind, can you really find any dualism in direct experience?

It's incredibly anti-climactic, because you haven't gained anything from all of this, only lost. But man, what a friggin relief to free yourself from the bondage of false beliefs!
