The word we all use that of nothing, is actually two words joined together, it really means
no-thing, what we do not know is what actually a "thing" is! What is a thing? Do you know?
Are you a thing? Is this cup I hold out also a thing? In England sometimes the phrase thingamabob
or even a thingamajig, is used, what does this mean? If you were to point to fifty different articles
from say a cabbage to a sports car, all that was pointed out , would be things! But can then a cabbage
and a sports car be exactly the same? If so it would be much cheaper to buy a cabbage and drive of
in it!
If you are a thing, say a human-thing, then what is the difference between your thing and that of
a cabbage thing? Are things, just another name for ignorance? We could easily say that the universe
is full of things, okay, then what exactly are these manifestations that are all lumped together in the
word thing? Is say a star, the same thing a meteor? Or a planet the same thing as a cabbage?
The ancient ones actually said that "thoughts were things" if that is so, then your thoughts can
become things.an architect can think of a house,draw it, then get it built, so in that case his thought
became a house-thing.
The word thing can in effect apply to the totality of universal expression, both visible and invisible
where then we can add the no to thing and make the word nothing, which then implies that nothing
is all, and that all is nothing.
Which then means in reality that we are actually no-thing at all,yet we are everything as well!
We are all, and yet we are nothing, another question here suggests itself, that of can you ever
actually see a thing? What we only EVER SEE is the outer manifestation of an inner reality.
we only ever see the "shadow of a thing" we never see its inner luminosity.
Perhaps the word thing, which seems to be a universal name for every-thing and as things seem
to be everywhere in the universe, full of things! Then maybe another longer word would also
apply to this phenomena of all-things-ness that of consciousness? Maybe consciousness and thing
are one of the same-thing?
We are made out of no-thing, and become some-thing, the inner invisible consciousness is the
no-thing, and the outer visible consciousness becomes some-thing.
