There Is No ETERNITY….Only EXISTENCE Is Real

The human habit of comparing hominid activities/movements to the astrological movements of the earth, sun, and constellations (otherwise known in our language as ‘time’) is one of the hardest concepts to overcome in gaining a clear view of where we are and who we are.

From the Homo Sapien perspective we think everything is in motion from the past toward an infinite expansion into the future. We don’t realize that existence moves in an overall cycle of expansion and contraction, and the present movement of astrological bodies/forces is just part of the expansional phase of existence’s inherent behavior because like fish in an aquarium, the mammalian organic environment keeps us locked in a limited perspective of what is going on HERE.

Some of us think eternity is ‘all of time‘ (the totality of time) or the ‘rest of time from this point on’….our perception is linearly distorted.

First we need to understand some basics about where we are…
otherwise known as ‘existence’…
what can we absolutely know?

.
….1 Existence is all there is.
.Existence can’t come from anything else…there is nothing else.
By definition and concept…non-existence doesn’t exist.

…2 Existence is ‘always present’ (always existing).
Since there is no place to create it or for it to go…it just ‘IS’. (see #1)
.
Existence is/was not derived from anything else. It never has/had a beginning and won’t have an ending…it is beyond our concept of ‘time’…(counting and comparing repetitive or predictable astronomical movements).IF it could end that means something besides existence is real and that’s impossible (see #1).

…3 The activity within existence creates temporal patterns, forms, objects, and beings and ultimately intelligence and personalities. The inherent activity or nature of existence creates temporary images in this continuous/eternal setting. Things which are not ‘always present’ appear in the ‘always present’.
How is this possible??

….4 The ability to become what we label ‘creation’ must be an partial aspect of existence’s unconscious cyclical behavior or nature…or else it could never happen.
Why?…existence is the only thing/non-thing that is real/exists; and any temporal thing or non-thing appearing in it must be a result of it’s congruent behavior (it’s nature/instinct)

Since existence is continuous this behavior or expression must be cyclical or part of a larger cycle…like a huge vibration that moves from a simple beat and expands to a complex series of vibrations and back to a primal beat and so on…‘always happening’..’always present’…’eternally’..’forever’.

If we could draw an image of it…existence and it’s moving might look something like the image at the top of this page.

CONCLUSIONS

WHERE WE ARE:
Existence is the ‘always present’ presence.
(I call it/us ‘primary presence’)

WHO WE ARE
Creation is a temporary configuration of it’s instinctual behavior to move in and out
of vibrational complexity.

This also answers the question of ‘WHO’ we are.
We are the subjectively conscious ‘primary presence’ which divides into vibrational patterns creating the illusion of separation, subject-object, and objective consciousness and then recedes into a period of rest…over and over ad infinitum.
