Ham,
Sure you may put these discussions in your forum.
Here is what came to mind with questions, too,
after reading your last posting.
You said in the last posting as follows:
"But the void is our awareness penetrating
Essence to derive its "beingness", to fragment Essence
into a finite thing. This part makes alot of sense,
but right after that sentence you said: "It's the
only way the negate can become aware, that is, possess
an object for itself."
The last sentence I picture a void or negate
forcing its' way through Essence and Essence feeds
this negate with being giving negate something to be
aware of in that Essence (according to what you say)
is All and Existence eventually appears as this negate
forcing through Essence becomes awake drawing
distinctions and being feed by Essence. What do you
think?
You said earlier in the last posting as follows:
"It must be that "not" in the not-other of
Essence -- in other
words, that which is negated or "denied" by Essence to
create existence." This explanation seems to depend
on a use of one word (which is "not" in not-other of
Essence) to provide an explanation about negation, but
this kind of explanation does not provide a firm
answer. Negation or nothingness in comparison to
Essence is a renegade put into existence by finitude
itself. Yet, to have finitude nothingness needs to be
present. (What came first the chicken or the egg?
That's what this reminds me of so far, but...)
Instantaneous!! There is nothing (lack of another
word) wrong with instantaneousness, yet, I am boggled
by this nothingness here while Essence is not
nothingness since Essence would inherently avoid or
have no place for nothingness - maybe or apparently
not. As you said, "It's a puzzler, isn't it? My
approach to these paradoxical problems is to eliminate
everything and start afresh with a blank slate --
nothingness itself." By doing so we are putting into
action the creative experience in which we may glimpse
nothingness negating Essence with awareness. The
latter (awareness) is within this negation process
becoming cognizant of beingness creating difference
and distinctions within Essence.
Yet, nothingness - how is it here? Is that also
the same as awareness - how is it here? Which these
could also be mirrored as awareness negating Essence
with its' nothingness causing distinction(s) in what
was uniformly whole and without distinction(s)
[Essence]. If so, what may be uniformly whole and
without distinction(s) [Essence] also could be a
mirror for what is called nothingness, which also has
no distinctions.
Therefore to be taken into an experience of
nothingness, as close as possible, is to experience a
world without distinctions as Essence would be
experienced, and then once we concentrate upon this
world again (in our finite experience) we are aware
with clarity and a refreshing experience occurs in
which Essence is newly carved into clear distinctions.
The trees seem browner and greener, the day so new
and fresh, the perspective so clear, and the bird
songs so crystal clear. It is as if we never heard
them sing that way before. We didn't, because now the
distinctions delineate past from present, and all of
this occurs until everything begins to lose its'
distinction, clarity, sense of newness, and we close
our eyes again, quiet our minds and experience an
unknowing experience that is called nothingness until
our mindfulness (concentration upon our experience
with calmness) seemingly renews the universe, again.
The same is here, yet, in a different light. (This is
an experience I have had in meditation).
To define nothingness and Essence seems to
provide the same definition until beingness. At that
moment in beingness nothingness is locked within
awareness, and then again only until we view (or are
aware) everything is Essence. Then Nothingness and
Essence would at that moment mirror each other until
beingness again, and so forth, if we wish to state
this in such a circular fashion. What do you think?
