DREAMING IN THE VOID BLOG | Other sounds
"So if you really go the whole way and see how you feel at the prospect of vanishing forever. Have all your efforts, and all your achievements, and all your attainments turning into dust and nothingness. What is the feeling? What happens to you?
That’s what it’s all going to come to.
And for some reason or other, we are supposed to find this depressing.
Do you see in a way, how that is saying: the most real state is the state of nothing?
But if somebody is going to argue that the basic reality is nothingness. Where does all this come from? Obviously from nothingness. Once again you get how it looks behind your eyes. You see?
See? So in this way, by seeing that nothingness is the fundamental reality, and you see it’s your reality. Then how can anything contaminate you? All the idea of you being scared, and put out and worried, and so on, this is nothing, it's a dream. Because you're really nothing. But this is most incredible nothing.
So cheer up you see?
The essence of your mind is intrinsically pure. Pure means clear, void.
See? If you think of this idea of nothingness as mere blankness, and you hold onto this idea of blankness then kind of grizzly about it, you haven’t understood it. Nothingness is really like the nothingness of space, which contains the whole universe. All the sun and the stars and the mountains, and rivers, and the good men and bad men, and the animals, and insects, and the whole bit. All are contained in void. So out of this void comes everything and you are it. What else could you be?"

the whole idea of coming from nothing to ending as nothing is a major eyeopener, but all religious beliefs and all matter end at a certain perceivable point, and when you try to look farther you're left with what... nothing
whats to say that this absolute nothingness that is impossible to even think about is just one more dimension added to ours. as you move up in dimensions, isn't it just another perpendicular line added to the sequence. what if that line can only be perceived and found through absolute nothingness. just a thought. - Siro Battaglin

I'd also like to ask what the beautiful background music is- is it maybe by Hauschka? Thank you so much!

@Sangita-Prana-Music: I would say we are all nothing.

"We start, then, with nothing, pure zero. But this is not the nothing of negation, for 'not' means 'other than' and 'other' is merely a synonym of the ordinal numeral 'second'. As such it implies a first; while the present pure zero is prior to every first. The nothing of negation is the nothing of death, which comes second to, or after, everything. but this pure zero is the nothing of not having been born. There is no individual thing, no compulsion, outward nor inward, no law. it is the germinal nothing, in which the whole universe is involved or foreshadowed. As such, it is absolutely undefined and unlimited possibility; there is no compulsion and no law; it is boundless freedom." -Charles Pierce

I found this through Stumbleupon and after listening to it from time to time over 3 or 4 months I decided I needed to say thank you. I love it.

I love it when I stumble on something like this. It makes me think about my life and how I can choose to believe things are. Very beautiful, the music goes perfectly with the words. Its a little sad and strikes a deep cord.
