Nothingness and Somethingness
I was reading an article about how the universe started from nothing. Blackness. Starting with the big bang, and probably ending, so the scientific theories go, back into nothing. We ourselves started from nothing and became something, and will go back to nothing again. So far, so depressing.
OK, so we have all this nothingness, and then: the true mystery. That there is something from all this nothingness. Empires, galaxies, love affairs, languages, people, and they all come and go, leaving behind not a trace. Actually, there is a lot of comfort in this – whatever we mess up, is erased and forgotten. In the long run, nobody knows or cares. Time heals, then forgives and finally forgets, forgets all. Time gently eases away all pain and joy.
But here's the beauty part. The successes in life get erased, as well as the failures. Think of it! Think of the burden of having to exceed your success every day. A cosmic game of 'Can You Top This?' or what we used to call 'Oh, Yeah? Think That's Something?' It is easier to overcome failure than to overcome the limiting forces of success.
Quantum mechanics shows that every point in a vacuum possesses an infinite amount of energy, unmanifested, unformed energy.
So if we need energy in our lives or thoughts, we just need to go to that null place in ourselves, where we will find an infinite amount of energy. Isn't that a wonderful thought?
OK, so this is the kind of stuff I have been reading lately.
