...Thou Art That..That Thou Art...
I invite you into a world, where there is no such thing as the passage of time. A world, in which all that you see before you is what it isn't...where everything would be is what it can never be. Can you imagine what such an existence might be like? There is no air to breathe. There's nothing to see, feel or hear. It epitomises a vacuum, in which time has never begun and thus cannot cease, but still persists. In such a state of being, time exists in the absence of its own progression. It no longer moves from "A" to "B", nor does it exactly stand still. While space would be infinitely boundless without distance or duration, both would have no measurable qualities. In these conditions, now simply is...
It is self-witnessing by nature with the potential to create various derivations of itself. From this state, all movements of time and vibrations of space arise. Just as time would become all-time, space would become all-space.
Time is the equivalent of infinity, when it purely is. It is the equivalence of nowness or beingness. It has the capacity to manifest endless versions of itself, creating illusory ways of becoming through consciousness.
When we remove everything from space-time, what remains? The nothing that is something, when it exists by itself...The part of us, which conceived all the worlds. In our natural state of being, we are the equivalence of time, simply without movement or a complete standstill. When all the discernible features of space-time disappear, what we are left with is the pure essence of being.
Ideas are contagious,
Emptiness doubly so...
In contradiction with the theory that ideas are contagious, ideas are the epitome of emptiness. The grandest ideas cannot be written down or verbalised. They defy description. How do we communicate notions like peace or love? How do we describe smells or the feeling of being touched? Ideas in their raw form become entire worlds of perception. They can be all we strive for. We live for them. We even die by them. Despite this, whichever form an interdependent existence takes, it remains connected to existence outside of the multiverse. Essentially, they are linked to us in our natural state.
When you have read the following chapters, I ask you to look deep within to discover the all-encompassing truth about the one reality hidden behind every elliptical timeline in the multiverse. Without comprehending its origin, how may we be steadfast in our wisdom? In its absence, how may we find immutable peace or everlasting happiness inside a spatio-temporal chain-reaction, propelled by cause & effect?
