Introduction; Nothingness

If you are aware of a state which you call is, or reality, or life, this implies another state called isn’t;

Or illusion, or unreality, or nothingness, or death.

There it is. You can’t know one without the other.

And so as to make life poignant, it’s always going to come to an end.

That is exactly, don’t you see, what makes it lively.

Liveliness is change, it’s motion.

So, you see you are always at the place where you always are.

And you think wowee, a little further on we’ll get there.

I hope we don’t go further down so that we lose what we already have.

But that is built into every creature’s situation, no matter how high, no matter how low.

So in this sense all places are the same place.

And the only time you notice any difference is in the moment of transition.

When you go up a bit, you’re gay, when you go down a bit

You feel disappointed, gloomy, loss.

You can all the way down to death.

Somehow, there seems to be a difficulty in getting all the way up.

Death seems so final.

Nothingness seems so very, very irrevocable and permanent.

But then if it is, what about the nothingness that was before you started?

On the contrary, it takes nothing to have something.

As you wouldn’t know what something was without them.

You wouldn't be able to see anything with less than a nothing behind your eyes.

The most real state is the state of nothing.

That’s what it’s going to all come to.

Far away, I’ll stay

For you

Far away, I’ll stay

From you
