Question to our collective Self:
One minute something was existing, now it doesn’t exist.
So isn’t the statement ” something doesnt exist?” a true statement?
If it is, can we also say that non-existence is also an aspect of reality?
Answer:
English semantics can be misleading.
We (humans) use the word ‘existed’ in ways that are not factual because hominids
think this objective world and everything that appears in it is ‘existing’ in and of itself.
That this objective world is ‘existence’ and that’s not true.
Let me explain.
In truth, what is a ‘thing’? What is ‘existence’?
‘Things’ are just the temporary movement of consciousness
in a ’seemingly identical’ (to the human senses) repetitive pattern whether it’s a subatomic
quark or a universe.
‘Existence’ is consciousness.
That ‘always present’ beingness.
It’s ALWAYS the only thing and non-thing that’s real or ‘existing’.
So the portion of consciousness creating that temporary pattern we
call ’something’ is always existing…even after it’s moved on to a new shape
or no shape. And the shape or pattern humans call a ‘thing’ never became existence
it was just part of existence in a ’seemingly identical ‘repetitive pattern.
That’s why Buddha called our temporary objective reality an illusion…
it’s just the dance of consciousness.
