Nothingness

Posted on by philipdodson

As humans in our unconscious mind state we are focused on forms and content in the world. We are focused on objects. We see that is reality, yet they just temporary forms.

When we look up into the night sky we wonder about all the planets and stars.

Yet never about the space in between them. The infinite space that is the universe is far greater than the objects contained by them.

Inside us is the same limitless conscious space, the formless, the unmanifested and that is reality.

Not the temporary content-filled dimension of temporary forms. We attach everything to the temporary instead of rooting and grounding ourselves in the conscious infinite nothingness that contains all the temporary forms.

We constantly are looking for something instead of realising the reality and inner peace of nothingness.

I think, therefore…

If we took the energy and time that we spend thinking each day and used that to consciously focus on the present moment, free from the mental noise, just imagine how different our life would be.

60,000 thoughts per day on average, with probably 59,999 being thoughts that we had an hour ago, a day ago, a month ago, in fact, for an entire lifetime.

Silencing the mind creates space within, space for new things to arise from our very essence and with that space we can allow them to grow and to be manifested. If there is only constant thought, then there is no space for anything else.

The ability to think does not prove existence. The conscious awareness that witnesses our thought and other senses prove that our true being is the awareness, the knower, that is beyond thought. We are not our mind.

I think, therefore I’m nothing but thought.
