Everything From Nothing​

Nothing is all

Nothing can be known

Nothing cannot be told

They who tell it

Know it not

Or know futility

Those who teach it

Know it not

Or know futility

 

Yet tell we try

 

What is nothing?

Nothing is all

Nothing is before, after, above, and below

Nothing must be realized

Not sought

 

Nothing is timeless

Formless

Without beginning or end

Cause or effect

Disorganized chaos

Infinite potential

 

The wise one knows nothing

Knows all

Is joyful in harmony with nothing and all

 

Nothing is in eternal motion

Neither forward nor back

Up nor down

 

Beings are of the motion of nothing

But may not perceive the motion

 

The motion of nothing manifests

But does not create

Bubbles in water

Clouds in air

Of but not apart

 

Beings, things, entities

Are revealed but not separate

Nothing is all

Beings, things, entities

Dissipate, return, but not separate

Nothing is all

Beings, things, entities

See themselves

But never nothing

 

The unknowing claim

I am the scale in which reality is measured

And mine is something

 

The wise one knows

That the something is finite, time bound

And reveals a path to your own discontent

Unharmonious with nothing

 

Infinite stimuli

Infinite sensations

Infinite relations

 

Finite receptors

Finite processors

Finite milieu

Finite universe

 

What folly to expect

Finite something to know nothing

 

The chaos of nothing

Boundless currents

Coming, going

Perfect beautiful chaotic currents

Beings

Ants

Planets

Humans

Black holes

Tables

All

Manifest at the cusp

But never separate

Simply

Ripples in the currents

 

The sage senses

Feels

The fabric of the currents

Succeeds without triumph

Wins without exulting

Loses without disappointment

 

Sensing not the currents of nothing

Breeds human hubris

Societal mismanagement

Personal anguish

Existential angst

For individuals

For societies

For humanity

For Earth

For the universe

Forever

 

Human hubris

Seeks organization

Control

Fights entropy

Fights the current

Creates disharmony

 

Human hubris

Begets science

Religion

Rationality

Wars

Existential threats

Disharmony

 

Human hubris conceives values

Binary opposites

Good and bad

Human hubris

To organize and control

 

The harmonious current

Inner rhythms in sync with nothing

Must be felt

Must be followed

Doing nothing achieves not nothing

The sage smiles

Helping others find their current

Who they are

Not

Who they should be

 

How can you find your way

Unless you know nothing

 

The cusps and warps of nothing

All beings find a current

Follow it in harmony

Beings

Individuals

Societies

Tribes

Herds

Planets

Stars

Galaxies

Beings in harmony know nothing

Ride the current of nothing

 

Harmonious society recognizes

Existing forces

Disruptive by nature

Disruptive by choice

Disruptive to harmony

 

The sage ruler allows spontaneous symbiosis

Blends currents to mutual succor

Seeks to instill humility and harmony

While recognizing that metaphoric

Boulders, eddies, precipices, undercurrents

Deter the smooth integration of all into nothing

 

The wise seek to have

But not to hold

Success is fleetingly finite

Nothing is all

 

Practice begets proficiency

Harmony with the current begets art

 

Relax, ride the current

You are, were, and will be

The murmur of a misplaced woof

In the fabric of nothing

 

Separate is an illusion

Order is an illusion

Time is an illusion

Space is an illusion

 

Predestination is an illusion

No pre

No destination

Only nothing is

 

But

Live in your relative reality

Enjoy it

Smell the roses

Love your partner

Seek for answers

Relish the good and the bad

 

All is chaos

Warm welcoming nothing is all

Harmony results
