DISQUS

I like this except for the no control part, because I feel thought is creative. Thus, it may be a movie screen, but I am the projector. Peace and Love.

What I am pointing to here, is that all this is oneness. How can oneness control any other aspect of oneness?

You are oneness projecting oneness. Oneness is complete and whole, there is nothing you can add to the infinite oneness of yourself. What is there to create?

Thank you for stopping by, taking the time to read it, and commenting :)

Yup, like energy, it can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed! What we knew as creation is really transformation.

Indeed I call it oneness but if you like to use the pointer of energy then energy is another pointer too. Energy can not be created or destroyed because there is only one energy and everything else is an image/appearance on the screen of that energy.

What people hear 'energy is the source behind everything' they assume that things contain energy (separate things) and if that thing changes then the energy changes to another form.

However what I am pointing to here, is that if you're going to call it energy, then energy is the everything and can not change form because there is only one energy here: everything else is just an illusion displaying on a screen of that one energy.

Life is indeed perfect, even if at times, it doesn't appear to be. I believe however that experiences do teach us something and helps us grow. These experiences and growth are also part of perfection and oneness. Without these things, the picture won't be complete. :-) There is nothing missing, whether in the unmanifest or the manifest. What a paradox that truly is.

Coming from a place of having no beliefs, I would say it like this: life is perfectly one, even if at times, that one thing doesn't appear to be one. Oneness (also referred to awareness or unmanifestation in this article, it's all the same one, there is only ever one) is the one of everything because there is only ever one here, the images/appearances on the screen of oneness causes the oneness to seem like there are others or other things.

What I am pointing to is that this oneness (as known as God) is all there is and there is nothing else. Oneness is the only thing and because it's the only thing here, then you can not add to oneness through experience. Oneness is fully infinite, boundless, and nothing unknown to it because there is nothing to know but one. There is only one thing here and therefore that one thing is all there is. That one thing can not add to itself. There is nothing that one can learn because there is not two. One can only be one.

One is just appearing to be not one through the images/appearances and that way oneness can seemly 'experience' itself as the one it is. But it's just an illusionary 'experience', like a dream, the one is still only one just having an illusion of itself called a oneness dream. The dream is seemly appearing to have opposites but the opposites is still the one, one appearing to be two, one appearing to be separate, one appearing to have more then one, one appearing to be one or the other or both. Yet, either or is not irrelevant because it's all the one, the opposites are illusions to cause this so called 'experience' as real.

Still just one here, always just one.

The Meaning Of Life.

I can put it in one word… Opportunity.

Ever since mans early ancestors evolved the brain capacity to realize his own existents,
Man has wondered where he came from? What made him? What happens to him when he dies?
What is the “Meaning” of life. Man has spent countless lifetimes seeking the answer to that question.
I recently watched a program about “The Tibetan Book Of Death”. The Buddhist concepts were explained about the afterlife. There was a “Monk” who spent 32 years sitting in a Lotus position, rocking back and forth, chanting the same phrases over and over while seeking the Meaning of life. I thought, how could that guy ever have any idea about life with such a limited experiences to judge by. I call that “A Fools Folly”
It seems to be a complete and total waste of a life to do such things. Monks standing around everyday slapping their hands together and trying to say some profound philosophy, with a partner trying to rebut him is nothing more than a waste of a life. All the religions that man has Created has taught man nothing useful. And only served to distort mans perception of reality. The meaning of life has as many variations as there is people to perceive the meaning. To me, the meaning of life is the opportunity to live my life and to make whatever choices I want in my life. I determine what I want my life to mean. It can change on a whim. There is no meaning to anything beyond any individuals perception of it. There is no Creator with a plan. There is no intelligent designer. There is no fate or destiny. Life is a completely random condition.
There is no beginning to time or space. Time always was and always will be. Time is a concept. There is no end to space. It is impossible for there to be an end to time or space. Humans happen to find themselves alive on a tiny planet with no particular meaning to any of it. It is all Nature.
In the Universe electricity is the most dominate force. Electricity creates all we know that is life. Electricity creates the magnetic fields that influence everything. Gravity is a natural condition created by all the matter moving in the universe.
The combination of those three conditions make the universe what it is.
Electricity is God. It is in all of us. Human bodies are a conductor of electricity.
Too little or too much will kill us.
When it leaves your body you will be dead. Just like a dead battery
Man is simply a biological life form that is a natural by - product of the matter being exposed to the conditions on Earth.
No more real meaning than that. No false religion necessary to explain anything.
No imaginary Gods, mythical savior messiahs and false prophets necessary.
The only things man/woman should worship is Life, Nature, Love, Truth, Knowledge.
The Truth is what it is. Reality is what it is. Perceptions of each can be infinitely different.
The true meaning is that there is no meaning at all. Live your life in the manner that makes you feel the best about your life. Be happy to be alive. Love more than you hate. Always be Honest. Always have good intentions. Be as friendly as you can to everyone. Help those who are in need. Never hurt anyone intentionally. Only in self defense.
Take care of Mother Nature, she will take care of you.
The meaning of life should be to be the best person you can be with your one and only Opportunity to be alive. Make the most of life. There is no afterlife.
Enjoy your life.
It’s a Once In A Lifetime Opportunity.
Make your life Mean something good.
Smile often. Drive a cool car.

Peace to All
Keep it REAL

The Meaning Of Life

That is a lot of information, a lot of knowledge, a lot of belief, a lot of ideas, a lot of concepts... it's still just oneness appearing as a lot. :)

i've been typing about this for a while. i guess that since awareness is present we can't conclude that even oneness doesn't exist. i consider the possibility that oneness is just the illusion which everything becomes possible. duality to be aware, as you stated in other words. sometimes its hard to accept this awareness. "paradox as we may describe it, my experience has calculated the only answer to freedom is to not exist at all. to exist is to have form and to have form is to be slaved." kinda reminds me of the movie war games, the only winning move is, not to play. this has all just really started focusing for me and i'm now enjoying watching everything + or -. you've done great work describing this, nick, keep up the great work in "words".

nicholaspowiull · 8 months ago

Well oneness is not a concept, it's what is seen when all concepts are dropped, but I see your point, you can't really call it oneness, you can't really call it anything because it is everything. Yet everything implies that there is more then one thing, but you must call it something in order to point at it.

It's obvious to any-one who awakens: that oneness just might want to end this game of life. That is exactly what will happen if people don't wake-up to this, their true nature.

Either way it doesn't matter once you awaken because it's like you die before you die. Life only matters to the people who are ignoring their true nature and yet they are the ones destroying life *laughs* that is the paradox indeed.

Form or no form matters not either, form is just an image/appearance on the screen of awareness/oneness, form is already free because it was never form in the first place. Only human forms that think they are form is salved to the form.

Play or don't play it matters not. Destroy life as we know it or awaken to what life really is, it matters not, oneness is still oneness. The one here is the only one ever here.

Interesting article but if we have no capacity to change the movie how come we are still not living in caves?

The seemly appearance of learning may arise, but you are not there to make the choice to learn or not. Learning may arise, but the learning is pointless. Where are you going to take that learning and who is there to benefit from it? There is nothing of value happening. Everything/nothing means eternally everything and nothing, therefore, if something appears to be something new, that is you too. You were it before it seemly appeared for the first time in the so-called world. You may not have been aware of it as you before it seemly appeared, so there seems to be an evolving, learning, unfolding taking place, but what does that matter? It doesn't add to who you are, you are eternally everything/nothing.
